Solved: CUCM integration with different LDAP servers

dsalamanca · ‎08-28-2012

Hello,

One of our customers needs to bring the users from their AD servers, however they don't belong to the same domain, there is no connection between them since they belong to two different companies.

Is it possible to do that with CUCM 7? only ensuring that the AD administrator user is the same on both servers, maybe?

Thanks in advance.

You would need to use Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS), formerly known as Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-16356#Requirements. This was added to CUCM 8.x and later. The problem with trying to do this on 7.x is that your bind user has to be explicitly defined which can only point to one domain such as cn=administrator,ou=users,dc=cisco,dc=com, so it can't bind to more than one domain.
