How to Configure LDAP then MeetingPlace Authentication

  –
You want to send user passwords as protected (that is, not as clear text). Entering a value for 
the DN field sends passwords as clear text.
Note
If you choose to enter a value for the DN field, it is your responsibility to establish a secure 
connection between the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server and the LDAP server. This is 
not the same as configuring SSL configuration on the web server. The SSL feature in Cisco 
Unified MeetingPlace protects traffic between the client and web server. You will require a 
secure connection between the web server and the LDAP server.
  •
Consult your LDAP expert for your DN information.

Select how you want user names transformed for “Username Conversion Function.”
