About the LDAP Databases
The VCS can be configured to use a database on an LDAP Directory Server to store authentication credential information (usernames, passwords, and other relevant information)
This section describes how to download the schemas that must be installed on the LDAP server, and how to install and configure two common types of LDAP servers, Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP, for use with the VCS.
Downloading the LDAP schemas
The following ITU specification describes the schemas which are required to be installed on the LDAP server:
H.350 | Directory services architecture for multimedia conferencing - An LDAP schema to |
| represent endpoints on the network. |
H.350.1 | Directory services architecture for H.323 - An LDAP schema to represent H.323 |
| endpoints. |
H.350.2 | Directory services architecture for H.235 - An LDAP schema to represent H.235 |
| elements. |
The schemas can be downloaded in ldif format from the web interface on the VCS. To do this:
1.Navigate to VCS Configuration > Authentication > LDAP > Schemas. You will see a list of downloadable schemas.
