Setting Up Multitiered Directory Navigation - Polycom RealPresence Group 550 Administrator's Manual

Administrator's Guide for the Polycom RealPresence Group Series
Setting Description
Server Type Specifies the type of provisioning server. Select CMA or DMS.
Domain Name Specifies the domain for registering to the provisioning service.
User Name Specifies the endpoint's user name for registering to the provisioning service.
Password Specifies the password that registers the system to the provisioning service.
Server Address Specifies the address of the system running the provisioning service.
4 Select Save or Update. The system tries to register with the Polycom CMA or RealPresence
Resource Manager system using NTLM authentication.
If automatic provisioning is enabled but the system does not register successfully with the
provisioning service, you might need to change the Domain, User Name, Password, or Server
Address used for registration. For example, users might be required to periodically reset passwords
used to log into the network from a computer. If such a network password is also used as the
provisioning service password, you must update it on the Polycom RealPresence Group system, too.
To avoid unintentionally locking a user out of network access in this case, RealPresence Group
systems do not automatically retry registration until you update the settings and register manually on
the Provisioning Service page.
To disable a provisioning service:
1 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Servers > Provisioning Service.
2 Disable the Enable Provisioning setting.

standalone LDAP servers or other global directory servers.

directories.
