Ad Hoc Entry Queue With Active Directory Validation - Polycom ReadiConvene Deployment Manual

Ad Hoc Entry Queue with Active Directory Validation

Using this method, if no other conference with this ID is running, the
MCU creates a new conference with the Numeric ID entered by the
participant. Other participants can join the conference using this Numeric
ID. The conference initiator must communicate the conference Numeric
ID to other conference participants to let them join the conference. One
method is to assign each user a personal numeric ID that can be sent to all
the conference participants ahead of time. Alternatively, the conference
initiator can send an E-mail with the conference ID that was just used to
initiate the new conference.
To increase system security and ensure that only users that enter an
approved conference ID can start a new conference, an external database
can be used to validate the conference ID entered by the participant.
To start a new conference with Active Directory validation:
1
In LCS 2005, create a User account for the Entry Queue. For details,
see Chapter 2.
2 In the MGC Manager application, define a conference Profile
containing the conference parameters.
3
In the Active Directory database, assign users the appropriate
Numeric IDs and other relevant properties for the conference and
participants. This information will be returned to the MCU and will
be used to replace the default information taken from the Profile.
4
In the MGC Manager application, configure an Entry Queue Service
with the appropriate Numeric ID Request messages and enable the
validation with the external database.
5
Configure the MCU to access the external database.
6
In the MGC Manager application, define an Ad Hoc-enabled Entry
Queue with the appropriate Profile, and Entry Queue Service.
7
In the Office Communicator window, add the Entry Queue as a new
contact to the Contacts list.
8
Dial in to the Ad-hoc enabled Entry Queue.
You are prompted for the conference Numeric ID.
9
Using Office Communicator Keypad or your endpoint remote
control to send DTMF codes, enter the conference Numeric ID.
