About LDAP Custom Filter Setup
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the menu path to configure LDAP filters.
In the LDAP Filter Configuration window, you specify information about the LDAP filter.
With the introduction of Self-Provisioning , you must setup correct filters for the LDAP synchronization to add only UC users and not contacts users. If you do not setup correct filters, during LDAP synchronization, both contacts and UC users get extensions assigned to them. This results in having more extensions than what you actually require.
Before You Begin
Before you can synchronize the LDAP directory, you must activate the Cisco DirSync service. For information about how to activate services, see the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.
Changes to LDAP Directory information and LDAP Authentication settings are possible only if synchronization from the customer LDAP directory is enabled in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration LDAP System Configuration window.
You can import and export LDAP custom filters by using the Bulk Administration Tool. For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
