How to Configure LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication compares user login information against the profile database on an
LDAPv2-compliant directory server. After users are authenticated by the LDAP server, they are
automatically logged in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace as long as their LDAP user IDs also exist in
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace. You can also authenticate users against a multiple LDAP forest
configuration.

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 e-mail format expressions include:
^([\\w-_.'])*\\w+@([\\da-zA-Z-]+\\.)+[\\da-zA-Z]{2,6}$
^([\\w-_.'])*\\w+@([\\da-zA-Z-]+\\.)+[\\da-zA-Z]{2,6}$
Note
To authenticate the web conferencing application against the LDAP server, make sure that the LDAP
server directory is designed to have all users in one container rather than broken into multiple containers
(each representing a child OU).
