/mcpStep 2 On the Find and List LDAP Directory Configurations page, select Add New to add a new LDAP directory configuration. Step 3 To configure the LDAP Directory Configuration, do the following steps on the LDAP Directory Configuration page (For more information on each field, see Help> This Page): a) Enter the values in all the required fields. b) If you specify an LDAP filter, LDAP filter syntax is checked. If the syntax is invalid, an error message appears. c) If you uploaded SSL certificates to the Unity Connection server in the Uploading SSL Certificates on the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Server section, check the Use SSL check box for every LDAP server that you specify in the Host Name or IP Address for Server field. Step 4 Select Save and select Perform Full Sync Now. Step 5 To add another LDAP directory configuration for another user search base, select Add New, and repeat Step 2 through Step 4 When importing users from LDAP, the user gets successfully imported into the end user table. However, when the user is imported into the tbl_user from end user table, the synchronization fails if the middlename has value more than 12 bytes. Note Converting Phone Numbers into Extensions If the phone numbers in LDAP directory do not match the Extension field in Unity Connection, you need to add a regular expression and a replacement pattern that converts the phone numbers into extensions. If you use the Bulk Administration Tool to add users by exporting the user data to a CSV file, edit the CSV file, and import the edited file. During this process, you can open the CSV file in a spreadsheet application and possibly create a formula that is more effective than the regular expression. Consider the following points when converting phone numbers in LDAP directory into extensions in Unity Connection: • Phone numbers are converted to extensions only at the time when you first synchronize Unity Connection data with LDAP data. Later on, during the scheduled LDAP synchronizations, the extension is not overwritten by any changes in the phone number. • Unity Connection automatically removes non-numeric characters from a phone number, therefore it is not required to add a regular expression for non-numeric characters. • You can often specify more than one combination of regular expression and replacement pattern that produces the same result. Unity Connection uses the regular expression package of the Java library. Table 8: Examples for Converting LDAP Phone Numbers to Unity Connection Extensions lists some examples of the conversions that are possible with the expanded functionality.
