If your Sametime® servers
are configured to use an LDAP server that is not a native internal Domino® directory, you
must specify the attribute in an LDAP record that contains the user's
email address. This setting is required because SIP entities are identified
by their email addresses.
Procedure
- From the Sametime server
home page, click the Administer the Server link
to open the Sametime Administration
Tool.
- Choose LDAP Directory - Basics.
- In the Basics settings for server drop-down
list, select the LDAP server.
- In the Attribute of a person entry that defines
the person's email address setting, type the attribute
that your LDAP directory uses to hold the user's email address.
Default attribute names include the following options:
- Type mail (default) if your LDAP directory
is a Domino Directory, IBM® Directory Server, or Sun ONE Java™ System Directory Server.
- Type userPrincipalName (default) if
you are using Microsoft® Active
Directory.
- Click Update.
- Choose LDAP Directory - Searching.
- In the search filter for resolving person names, update
the search filter to contain the attribute specified in step 4. For
example, if the LDAP directory uses the mail attribute, then update
the search filter to include the mail attribute. For example:
(&(objectclass=organizationalPerson)(|(cn=%s*)(givenname=%s*)(sn=%s*)(mail=%s*)))
- Click Update and restart the server
for the change to take effect.
