People that are looking to add this functionality:
I was able to add LDAP (Corporate Directory) to my Polycoms via the Basefile section of EPM. Note that this must be done for each Polycom template you have that you want to have LDAP functionality.
Here is a scrubbed version of the basefile that ultimately made it work.
Also, don’t forget to add this in:
It connects to an Active Directory server and queries the information from there. You can specify how to search by (in our case we used surname (last name), givenname (first name), and telephone (this is the extension or the number you want it to dial) fields in AD.
I highly recommend making the basefile config before you make multiple templates in EPM as each template has its own basefile.
If you run into issues, you will want to set LDAP logging to a verbose level:
As I recall (someone please correct me if I am wrong), but the code for these phones is case sensitive (excluding the value you put in).
Something I found to be of great use was to make sure that I tested the filterPrefix variable in an actual LDAP query on my server. This can be done a few ways and is easy found on Google.
I really help this helps make someone that needs to implement it.
Take Care!
