Modifying the provenance priority

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

If you configured multiple LDAP servers , use this procedure to specify the order in which Avaya Aura® Device Services accesses LDAP directories. For example, if a givenName attribute is defined in two LDAP servers for a given user, the value that Avaya Aura® Device Services uses is based on the order you define.

Procedure

  1. On the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal, navigate to Server Connections > LDAP Configuration > Enterprise Directory.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services displays the Enterprise LDAP Server Configuration page.

  2. Click the Enterprise Directory tab that you want to use to modify the provenance priority.
  3. In the Provenance Priority field, click Modify.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services displays the Source Priority Configuration pop-up window.

  4. In the Provenance Priority column, type the priority level.

    You can assign a value between 2 to 10. You cannot assign Provenance priority 1 as it is always assigned to the authorization directory. Provenance priority 1 is the highest and 10 is the lowest. Provenance priority must be different for each enterprise directory or source.

  5. Click Save.
  6. Restart Avaya Aura® Device Services to apply the new priority.
