Introduction

With Release 5.3, we can easily integrate the information that is stored on  our corporate directory server with our Cisco MeetingPlace system. By using LDAP  technology, Release 5.3 creates an all-inclusive meta-directory that combines  and synchronizes Microsoft Active Directory or Netscape/SunOne/iPlanet directory  information with Cisco MeetingPlace system information.

 

 

Benefits of Release 5.3 include the following:

  • For new Cisco MeetingPlace enterprise systems, Release 5.3 eliminates the  need to manually create new profiles in the Cisco MeetingPlace system.
  • For existing systems, Release 5.3 simplifies ongoing maintenance of user  information in the system. Name changes, additions, deletions, and changes in  status can be automatically propagated from your corporate directory to the  Cisco MeetingPlace system.

 

 

Release 5.3 supports the following directory servers:

  • Microsoft Active Directory 2000 and 2003:

    Microsoft Active  Directory allows you to store, access, manipulate organizational information  about users and resources, and manage all elements of a networked environment,  such as computers, groups, users, policies, and other user-defined objects.
  • Netscape/SunOne/iPlanet LDAP Directory Server Version 4 and Version  5:

    Netscape/SunOne/iPlanet is a general purpose LDAP directory that  stores, publishes, and centrally manages users and network resources.
  • Cisco CallManager directory

    Synchronizations of user data from the  Cisco CallManager directory allow the Cisco MeetingPlace system to support IP  telephony users who are configured in Cisco CallManager.

 

 

Integration

In order to integrate Cisco MeetingPlace server with Active Directory we need  to install/configure Cisco MeetingPlace Directory Services. We can follow the given url for complete Cisco MeetingPlace and AD  integration :
