Allow Delegated Authentication to Enterprise Directory Server
The RealPresence Resource Manager system Use Single Sign on (Integrated
Windows Authentication) option, allows endpoint users who are included in
the enterprise directory to securely log into their dynamically-managed
endpoint without typing in credentials.

1 Go to Admin > Directories > Enterprise Directory.
2 On the Enterprise Directory page, select Allow delegated authentication
to enterprise directory server.
3 To have the system auto-discover the closest logical domain controller
and enterprise directory servers, in the Domain controller name section
enable Auto-discover; otherwise, enter the fully qualified hostname of
the domain controller (for example,
dc1.mydomain.com
).
4 Enter the Username (
domain\
<computer name>
) and Password and click
Update.
Endpoint Directory and Directory Settings
When an endpoint registers with the RealPresence Resource Manager system,
its information is automatically entered into the Global Address Book. When
information changes at the endpoint, the Global Address Book is
automatically updated as well. If an endpoint is configured to Allow
Directory Changes, additions and deletions to the Global Address Book are
pushed to the endpoint.
Endpoints that get their global directory from the RealPresence Resource
Manager system will either get the Global Address Book or the enterprise
LDAP directory. Two Directory Setup options allow you to affect which
devices and users appear in the endpoint directory.
To allow RealPresence Resource Manager system users who enter their
network usernames and passwords to log into the RealPresence Resource
Manager system and select conference participants from your company’s active
directory, see “Integrate with Enterprise Directory Server Option” on page 466.
To auto discover the domain controller and enterprise directory server, the
network DNS server must have a DNS SRV record for these servers.
