Primary server
|
Specifies the address of
the primary directory server.
This parameter is required
for manual connections where the client cannot automatically discover the
directory server.
|
Secondary
server
|
Specifies the address of
the backup directory server.
|
Tertiary
Server
|
Applies to Cisco Jabber for Windows only.
Specifies the address of the tertiary directory server.
|
Use UDS for Contact
Resolution
|
Specifies if the client uses UDS as a contact source.
- True (Default)
- Use UDS as a contact source. When this option is selected the following parameters in this table are not used.
- False
- Use EDI or BDI as a contact source.
- The following parameters are used to connect to the LDAP server.
By default, UDS provides contact resolution when users connect to the corporate network through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.
|
Use Logged On User
Credential
|
Specifies if the client uses the logged on username and password for LDAP contact resolution.
If you have configured Active Directory (AD) SSO, this will take priority over this setting.
- True (default)
- Use logged on user credentials. This value maps to the values for the UseWindowsCredentials parameter for Windows clients, and the BDIUseJabberCredntials parameter for other clients.
- False
- Do not use logged on user credentials.
When you have SSO configured, Jabber uses those credentials before using the ConnectionUsername and ConnectionPassword parameters.
You must specify the logged on user credentials with the following parameters:-
ConnectionUsername
-
ConnectionPassword
You must specify the logged on user credentials with the following parameters:
|
Username
|
Lets you manually specify
a shared username that the client can use to authenticate with the directory
server.
By default, Cisco Jabber for Windows uses Integrated Windows Authentication when connecting to the directory server.
You should use this parameter only in deployments where you cannot authenticate with the directory server using Microsoft Windows credentials.
Use
only a well-known or public set of credentials for an account that has
read-only permissions.
|
Password
|
Lets you manually specify a shared password that the client can
use to authenticate with the directory server.
By default, Cisco Jabber for Windows uses Integrated Windows Authentication when connecting to the directory server.
You should use this parameter only in deployments where you cannot authenticate with the directory server using Microsoft Windows credentials.
Use
only a well-known or public set of credentials for an account that has
read-only permissions.

Search Base 1
The following parameters only apply to Cisco Jabber for Windows:
Search Base 2
Search Base 3
|
Specifies a location in the directory server from which searches
begin. In other words, a search base is the root from which the client executes
a search.
By default, the client
searches from the root of the directory tree. You can specify the value of up
to three search bases in your OU to override the default behavior.
Active Directory does not
typically require a search base. Specify search bases for Active Directory only
for specific performance requirements.
Specify a search base for
directory servers other than Active Directory to create bindings to specific
locations in the directory.
Tip
|
Specify an OU to restrict searches to certain user groups.
For example, a subset of your users have instant messaging capabilities only.
Include those users in an OU and then specify that as a search base.
|
|
Recursive Search on All
Search Bases
|
Select
this option to perform a recursive search of the directory starting at the
search base. Use recursive searches to allow the Cisco Jabber client contact
search queries to search all of the LDAP directory tree from a given search
context (search base). This is a common option when searching LDAP.
This
is a required field.
The
default value is True.
|
Base Filter
|
Specifies a base filter for Active Directory queries.
Specify a directory subkey name only to retrieve objects other
than user objects when you query the directory.
The default value is (&(&(objectCategory=person)( objectClass=user).
|
Predictive Search
Filter
|
Defines filters to apply
to predictive search queries.
You can define multiple,
comma-separated values to filter search queries.
The default value is ANR.
When Cisco Jabber performs a predictive search, it issues a query using Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR). This query disambiguates the search string and returns results that match the attributes that are set for ANR on your directory server. Important:
Configure your directory server to set attributes for ANR if you want the client to search for those attributes.
