AD Integration with MeetingPlace Express 2.0

Does anyone know if you can integrate MPX 2.0 with AD directly. My customer is not using UCCM but rather connecting MPX to an Avaya PBX switch. They don't want to manually create all the users in MPX.

Hi -

The LDAP integration is done by integrating the UCCM with Active Directory. Here is a good link that discusses the method of authentication - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace_express/2_0/english/administration/guide/cm20call.html#wpxref1369283

"Requirements for User Authentication by an External Directory:

You must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 4.0 or a later release to use an external directory to authenticate Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express users."

I could be wrong, but I thought MPE only integrated with CallManager, whereas MeetingPlace was the product to use with non-UCCM PBX switches. Here is another link that discusses how to import users into MPE -http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace_express/1_1/english/administration/guide/bagmport.html
