Unity Bridge adduser question

Hello, I'm working on an Octel - Unity networking project and have come upon a request.

Is it possible to specify what AD container the automatically created bridge subscribers are placed in? We would like to make a container under Unity in the AD tree, say a container called OctelSubscribers, and have the contact info placed in there.

Any help and comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

Yes it can be changed but it isn't something we want everybody doing or will assist you in doing outside of this forum. But several large customers have done it so it is safe and tested.

The secret String value registry key is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Active Voice\Directory Connectors\CsBridgeConnector\1.0\Doh]

"BridgeContactContainer"

Enter the path you want to have Unity create the contacts in such as:

"CN=Users,DC=cisco,DC=com"

"OU=OctelSubscribers,OU=Users,DC=cisco,DC=com"

The container will need the following rights which aren't totally easy to grant with the Permission Wizard:

For the directory service account on the new container-

-Create Contact objects applied onto this object

-Read properties applied onto Contact objects

-Write properties applied onto Contact objects

-List contents applied onto Contact objects

To grant these with the Permissions Wizard re-run it from the Unity server and select the new container on the 'Set Active Directory Containers for New Objects' for 'Users and then select ‘Contacts' from the 'Select Which Objects Cisco Unity Administrator Can Create'.

After all of the above is done restart the csBridgeConnector service.

If you are going to change the container and there have already been auto-creations in the current container you must:

-Delete all previously auto-created Bridge subscribers using the Bridge Administrator. This will cause them to be deleted from both Cisco Unity and AD.

-Verify that the AD contacts for these Bridge subscribers have been deleted in the current container

-Verify that the Cisco Unity call handlers for these subscribers have been deleted (use DohPropTest or SQL to verify this).

Hope this helps...
