Directory Operations

This chapter describes the Polycom

®

 Converged Management Application™ 

(CMA®) enterprise directory integration and operations. It includes these 

topics:
•

In a large organization, integrating your CMA system with Microsoft Active 

Directory greatly simplifies the task of managing conference system security. 

Directory management provides the following features.
• Single sign-on capability. Users get the benefits of pass-through 

authentication, allowing them to leverage their Active Directory user 

name and password to login to the Polycom CMA Desktop system. This 

happens without the user having to enter their credentials, creating 

seamless integration for logins.

• Single management environment. After the initial setup of the CMA 

system, adding groups into CMA system is no more complex than adding 

a group to a file share or database. Continue to manage your group 

memberships through Active Directory, then grant those groups rights 

within the CMA system.

• Allows you to continue leveraging the existing role-based security model 

that you have in place, though the CMA system only uses Universal 

groups.
