Managing Directories Understanding Directories

Enabling the Integrate with Enterprise Directory Server option also allows
endpoint users to select conference participants and rooms from the enterprise
directory. Because endpoint connections to LDAP use the endpoint user’s
credentials, the Active Directory access control lists identify which endpoint
users and rooms each user can see.
In addition, administrative users can:
• View some enterprise user and group information
• Import enterprise groups into the RealPresence Resource Manager system
• Assign roles to users in different enterprise groups
• Identify enterprise resources, such as rooms, so that they can be treated as
resources in the RealPresence Resource Manager system
For more information about Active Directory and LDAP, see MS Strategy for
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

the RealPresence Resource Manager system, see “Allow Delegated
