For more information see the appendix on LDAP field mappings.
Note: Each imported user must have a unique XMPP user ID (JID), constructed using the JID
field in the Field Mapping Expressions section of the Configuration > Active Directory. In
order to construct a valid JID, any attribute used in the JID field mapping expression must be
present in each LDAP record that is to be imported. To ensure that only records that have these
attributes present are imported, we recommend that you include presence filters (i.e. those of
the form (<attribute name>=*)) using a ‘&’ (AND) in the Filter field under Import Settings for
each attribute used in the JID field mapping expression.
For example, suppose your JID field mapping expression is $sAMAccountName$@example.com,
and you wish to import users who are members of the group
cn=Sales,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com, an appropriate import filter would be:
(&(memberOf=cn=Sales,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com)(sAMAccountName=*))
5. To synchronize with AD, select Sync now or activate the synchronization by using the
appropriate API call (see the API Specification document).
Note that you must manually resynchronize whenever entries in the LDAP server change.
6. View the result of the synchronization by going to Status > Users.
It is possible to choose whether to use OU separation when importing from the LDAP server. In
the Web Admin Interface, go to Configuration > Active Directory and select Restrict Search to
Searcher OU to enable the search only within the OU of the user account.
4.3 Example
You want to assign a coSpace to a particular group of users and a Call ID for this coSpace using
an 88 prefix in front of the regular telephone number.
1. Create the group on the LDAP structure called “cospace” and assign the required members
to that group.
2. Use the following filter which uses the extensible matching rule
(LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN / 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941) to find all the users that
are a member of the “cospace” group:
(&(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=cn=cospace,cn=Users,dc=lync,dc=exa
mple,dc=com)(objectClass=person))
