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

Ad-hoc Conferencing and Active Directory Integration
Ad Hoc Entry Queue with Conference Password Validation
with Active Directory
4-6
Using this method, when the conference Numeric ID is entered by the
participant, the system checks if there is an active conference with this ID.
If there is an On Going Conference with this Numeric ID and the
Chairperson Password is not validated with the Active Directory, the
conference initiator joins the conference as chairperson. All other
participants join the conference as standard participants.
If there is no On Going Conference with that Numeric ID, it is validated
with the Active Directory database. If the number is registered in the
database with the permission to start a new conference, the authorization
to start the new conference is returned by the database to the MCU.
If the Numeric ID is not registered in the database, the conference cannot
be started and the user is disconnected from the Entry Queue.
An additional security measure may be added to the Ad Hoc conference
initiation by verifying the conference entry password and Chairperson
Password with the Active Directory. In this case, only participants that
enter a password that is registered in the database with the permission to
join conferences are granted permission to join the conference. If a
password is used as a PIN code to identify the user, additional
information can be returned from the database to the MCU, replacing
default participant information. This information is also recorded in the
CDR file.
To initiate an Ad-hoc conference with conference password or
chairperson password validation:
1 In LCS 2005, create a User account for the Entry Queue. For details,
see Chapter 2.
2
In the MGC Manager application, in the IVR Service, enable the
validation with the external database (Conference Entry Password or
Chairperson Password). The Chairperson Password validation
should be done only when the participant enters the chairperson
identifier key (either pound or star).
3 In the MGC Manager application, define a conference Profile
containing the conference parameters. Make sure to select an IVR
Service in which external database access for validation is enabled.
