Hi,
I need to sync UCM with AD using something else than UPN or Samacountname, eg. the employeeID. I use AD for provisionig and authentication. This is the first time I have to do this, and I have some questions regarding the interworkings:
So on the presence server, the JID becomes : employeeID@XMPPdomain, eg. ID12345@company.com
But I wonder:
- when you log into jabber client, you need to use 'ID12345@company.com' as username. But where happens the necessary mapping so AD is able to find the password corresponding to the user with this employeeID?
- for IM & Presence : if I do a contact lookup, I find a coworking presence user, eg. bob@company.com. Where does this map to his corresponding JID so the presence can be retrieved for that person?
- to integrate the Outlook client so I can see the person's presence state, do I need to fill in the ProxyAddresses attribute with the JID?(ID12345@company.com)
- the IM address you see in the outlook properties of a user, where does that come from in AD? I assume it also needs to match the JID (ID12345@company.com)
I am using Jabber for Windows (latest release) and IM&P 9.1 (latest release)
many thanks for the feedback,
Juan
