Enable Integration with the Enterprise Directory Server
To integrate the CMA system to an enterprise directory server
1 Go to Admin > Directories > Enterprise Directory.
2 On the Enterprise Directory page, select Integrate with Enterprise
Directory Server.
3 To have the system auto-discover the server by querying DNS, enable
Auto-discover in the Enterprise Directory Server DNS Name section;
otherwise, enter the DNS Name for the enterprise directory server.
4 As needed, configure these settings.
Notes
• Performing the net user command on any machine other than a domain
controller will not assign the computer account password for the CMA system
computer account.
• At initial integration, the CMA System will change its Computer Account
password to a random 120 character string including special characters. This
password will also be changed, to a new randomly generated password, every
time the CMA System is rebooted, or every week if no reboots are performed.
Because this is a Computer account, resetting the password to a known value
requires use of net user commands on an Active Directory Domain Controller.

Directory User ID
Domain and Enterprise Directory User ID for an
account that the CMA system can use to access the
enterprise directory server and retrieve group, user,
and room information. This is the account created
“Create the Polycom CMA System Service Account”
on page 364.
This User ID must have read permissions so it can
search the entire forest on the enterprise directory
server.
This User ID is automatically associated with the
CMA system administrator role - by default it is the
ONLY enterprise directory User ID with this role.
