Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15 Installation Guide

For detail on mapping of Active Directory and LDAP fields to Cisco TMSPE attributes and instructions on
performing manual synchronization, see

Synchronizing user data [p.76]

Customizing field mappings for import of new users from Active Directory/LDAP Directory

To allow integrating with customized Active Directories/LDAP Directories, Cisco TMSPE allows users to
change the field mappings for users between Active Directory/LDAP and Cisco TMSPE.

Changing field mappings will only apply to new user imports, and not the ones already created. Changing
field mappings will also require a restart of the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning
Extension windows service.

To change Active Directory field mapping for new user imports:

1. Go to

Administrative Tools > Configuration > Provisioning Extension Settings > Active Directory

Field Mapping for New User Imports

2. Change the values according to your Active Directory installation.

To change LDAP field mapping for new user imports:

3. Go to

Administrative Tools > Configuration > Provisioning Extension Settings > LDAP Field

Mappings for New User Imports

4. Change the values according to your LDAP installation.

5. Click Save.

6. Restart the TMS Provisioning Extension windows service.

Checking Active Directory connection settings

To check the connection settings and make sure the filter template is appropriate for what you want to import:

1. Go to

Administrative Tools > Configuration > Provisioning Extension Settings

2. Scroll to the

Active Directory Connection

settings.

3. Modify the settings as desired:

Connection Timeout in milliseconds

Filter Template will be applied to all group imports. The %s variable in the template will be replaced by
any Search Filter set for a group import.

4. Click Save.

Adding users manually

The alternative to importing user accounts from external directories is to add user accounts manually.

Before you add user accounts, ensure that the group to which you want the accounts to belong is already in
the group hierarchy. See

Adding users manually [p.33]
