users first log in, they are authenticated against the LDAP directory. If this authentication fails, the login

Note
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace enforces e-mail format validation when you have LDAP synchronization
configured. If an e-mail address for a particular user does not conform to the standard e-mail format, the
user is skipped during the LDAP synchronization process and not imported into the MeetingPlace
database. Standard email addresses are in the form user@domain. User is limited to upper and lower case
alphanumeric characters and period (dot), dash, and underscore. Domain is limited to alphanumeric
characters and period (dot) and dash (no underscore). No spaces are permitted.
