LDAP configuration for device authentication
About the LDAP databases
The VCS can be configured to use a database on an LDAP Directory Server to store device
authentication credential information (usernames, passwords, and other relevant information).
This section describes how to download the schemas that must be installed on the LDAP server,
and how to install and configure two common types of LDAP servers, Microsoft Active Directory and
OpenLDAP, for use with the VCS.
Downloading the H.350 schemas
The following ITU specifications describe the schemas which are required to be installed on the
LDAP server:
H.350
Directory services architecture for multimedia conferencing - an LDAP schema to
represent endpoints on the network.
H.350.1
Directory services architecture for H.323 - an LDAP schema to represent H.323
endpoints.
H.350.2
Directory services architecture for H.235 - an LDAP schema to represent H.235
elements.
H.350.4
Directory services architecture for SIP - an LDAP schema to represent SIP endpoints.
The schemas can be downloaded in ldif format from the web interface on the VCS. To do this:
1. Go to VCS configuration > Authentication > Devices > LDAP Schemas. You are presented with
a list of downloadable schemas.
2. Click on the Download button next to each file to open it.
3. Use your browser's Save As command to store it on your file system.
