User DN The user distinguished name used by the VCS when
binding to the LDAP server.
Password The password used by the VCS when binding to the
LDAP server.

the Distinguished Name (DN) in the LDAP directory
under which the H.350 objects reside.
Alias Determines how aliases are checked and registered.
origin The options are:
LDAP: for SIP registrations the AOR presented by the
n
endpoint is registered providing it is listed in the
LDAP database for the endpoint's username.
For H.323 registrations:
At least one of the aliases presented by the
l
endpoint must be listed in the LDAP database for
that endpoint's username. If none of the presented
aliases are listed it is not allowed to register.
The endpoint will register with all of the aliases (up
l
to a maximum of 20) listed in the LDAP database.
Aliases presented by the endpoint that are not in
the LDAP database will not be registered.
If no aliases are listed in the LDAP database, the
l
endpoint will register with all the aliases it
presented.
If no aliases are presented by the endpoint, it will
l
register with all the aliases listed in the LDAP
database for its username.
Combined: the aliases presented by the endpoint are
n
used in addition to any listed in the LDAP database
for the endpoint's username. In other words, this is
the same as for LDAP, except that if an endpoint
presents an alias that is not in the LDAP database, it
will be allowed to register with that alias.
Endpoint: the aliases presented by the endpoint are
n
used; any in the LDAP database are ignored. If no
aliases are presented by the endpoint, it is not
allowed to register.
The default is LDAP.
The current status of the connection to the specified LDAP server is displayed at the bottom of the page.
Note that if you want to use an LDAP database for device authentication, you must also go to the
Authentication configuration
Cisco VCS Administrator Guide (X7.1)
page and select a Database type of LDAP database.

Usage tips
When Alias origin is LDAP, MCUs are
treated as a special case. They register
with the presented aliases and ignore
any aliases in the LDAP database. (This
is to allow MCUs to additively register
aliases for conferences.)
