Maintaining Users and Devices
This section describes maintenance tasks you may need to perform after setting up Cisco TMSPE.
Synchronizing User Data
When you configure the import of user account data from external sources (see Creating Groups and Adding Users,
page 35), Cisco TMSPE uses the information you supply to set up a synchronization schedule. Synchronization takes
place once a day. You cannot change the schedule, but you can run a manual synchronization at any time. (See
Running a Manual Synchronization, page 84.)
LDAP implementations other than Active Directory must have the following for import and synchronization to be
supported:
■ An entryUUID field as defined by RFC 4530.
■ Simple paging as defined by RFC 2696.
Mapping of LDAP and AD Fields
The table below shows the way in which user attributes from external Active Directory or LDAP sources are mapped to
Cisco TMSPE when you import and synchronize user data. Other fields, including Active Directory and LDAP passwords,
are not imported or synchronized.
The Cisco TMSPE User Attribute column shows the names of user attributes to which external directory attributes are
mapped. You can include these user attributes in template patterns. The following example includes the username
attribute in a video address pattern:
{username}@example.com
Some user attributes can only be used to define certain specific patterns. For example, you cannot include the username
attribute in the Caller ID pattern. For further information, view the Cisco TMSPE online help.
