Polycom CMA System Operations Guide
364 Polycom, Inc.
Enabling the Integrate with Enterprise Directory Server option also allows
endpoint users to select conference participants and rooms from the enterprise
directory. Because endpoint connections to LDAP use the endpoint user’s
credentials, the Active Directory access control lists identify which endpoint
users and rooms each user can see.
In addition, administrative users can:
• View some enterprise user and group information
• Import enterprise groups into the CMA system
• Assign roles to users in different enterprise groups
• Identify enterprise resources, such as rooms, so that they can be treated as
resources in the CMA system
For more information about Active Directory and LDAP, see MS Strategy for
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Create the Polycom CMA System Service Account
To create the CMA system service account
1 On the Active Directory server, open the Active Directory Users and
Computers module (Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Active
Directory Users and Computers).
2 Click the node for your domain and then right-click the OU folder in
which you want to add a user account and select New > User.
3 At a minimum, in the First name, Full name, and User logon name
fields, type
cmaservice
or an appropriate name for your environment
and click Next.
4 In the Password and Confirm Password fields, type a password for the
service account to use during initial integration. This is the password you
must enter on the
CMA system Enterprise Server page.
Note
The CMA system supports only the Microsoft Active Directory for its enterprise
directory.
Note
To allow endpoint users to use NTLM Single Sign On technology to connect to the
CMA system and access services such as automatic provisioning, automatic
software update, and presence, see “Allow Delegated Authentication to Enterprise
Directory Server” on page 367.
