Add a custom attribute to the LDAP directory's login
property so it can be used for authenticating users who log in to IBM® Sametime® clients.
About this task
By default, the SIP Proxy/Registrar is configured to use
the mail
attribute for authentication. If you are
using a different attribute for the SIP trunking telephone number,
modify the configuration to use that attribute for authentication
(skip this step if you are not using a custom attribute for authentication).
Procedure
- On the computer hosting the deployment manager of SIP Proxy/Registrar,
navigate to the server's directory:
DM_install_root/config/cells/Cell_name/nodes/Node_name/servers/Server_name
Note: If
the SIP Proxy/Registrar is clustered, use the cluster's deployment
manager profile.
- Open the authorization.xml file in
a text editor, locate the
authorizationProperty
section,
and add the repositoryAttr
attribute to specify the
LDAP attribute that will contain the telephone number used by SIP-based
calling:<authorizationProperty>
<description>Telephone number for SIP trunking</description>
<type>telephoneNumber</type>
<!-- VMM property name-->
<repositoryAttr>LDAP_attribute< /repositoryAttr>
</authorizationProperty>
Where LDAP_attribute
is
the name of the LDAP attribute that contains the telephone number.
- Save and close the file.
- If you are working with a cluster of SIP Proxy/Registrars,
make this change to every instance of this file on the deployment
manager's server (you can copy the modified file to the additional
profiles).
- Restart the server or cluster:
- For a stand-alone Media Manager or SIP Proxy/Registrar, restart
it now as follows:
- In the server's Integrated Solutions Console, click .
- In the list of servers, select your server and click the Restart button
at the beginning of the table.
- Click the Refresh button and verify that
all components are active.
- For a cluster of SIP Proxy/Registrars, synchronize and then
restart the cluster:
- In the deployment manager's Integrated Solutions Console, click .
- Select all nodes in the cluster, and then click the Full
Resynchronize button at the beginning of the table.
- Back in the navigation tree, click .
- In the clusters, table, select the SIP Proxy/Registrar cluster,
and then click the Stop button at the beginning
of the table.
- Wait for the cluster to stop.
- Now click the Start button at the beginning
of the table.
