/mcpUser Template Basics The Edit User Template Basics page allows you to specify the settings, such as alias and first name associated with a particular user template. User Basics The Edit User Basics page allows you specify the settings, such as alias and first name associated with a particular user account. Consider the following points while changing the alias of a user: • If you change the alias for a user, Unity Connection automatically creates an SMTP proxy address for the previous alias. This allows the other Unity Connection users to reply to the messages that were sent from the previous alias but the replies automatically reach to the new alias of the user. • When Unity Connection is integrated with an LDAP directory, the Alias field cannot be changed for any user who is integrated with an LDAP user. However, if you are using Active Directory as the LDAP directory, you can change the value of the LDAP field that is mapped to the Alias field. The alias change is replicated to Unity Connection when the Unity Connection database is synchronized with the LDAP directory. This also causes Unity Connection to automatically create an SMTP proxy address for the previous alias. If you are using an LDAP directory other than Active Directory and you change the value of the LDAP field that is mapped to the Alias field, the user is converted to a non-LDAP-integrated user. Caution In the following configurations, you cannot edit fields, such as Alias (User ID in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration), and First Name: • In Cisco Business Edition, when the Unity Connection user is integrated with the Cisco Unified CM Application User. You can only edit these fields in Cisco Unified CM Administration. • In Unity Connection or in Cisco Business Edition, when Unity Connection user data is synchronized with data in an LDAP directory. You can only edit these fields in the LDAP directory. If Unity Connection is configured to authenticate Unity Connection web application user names and passwords against the LDAP directory, you cannot change the Unity Connection web application password. Note • In Unity Connection, if digital networking is configured, you cannot edit any fields for a user on servers other than the home server of the user. You must edit user settings on the server on which the user account was created. For information on moving mailboxes from one mailbox store to another, see the LDAP, on page 153 chapter.
