This procedure describes how to configure the LDAP role search parameters when Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is used.
Role search for Avaya Aura® Device Services users are really about finding the associated role strings for a user in LDAP. For AD, this is about the user group names that a user belongs to.
In Microsoft Active Directory, the DNs of the groups that a user belongs to are stored in the memberOf attribute of a user. The memberOf attribute also stores the Exchange mailing lists that a user belongs to. Conversely, the group objects that the user belongs to contain a member attribute that stores the DNs of all of the users and sub-groups that are members of this group.
  1. Run the Avaya Aura® Device Services configuration utility using the app configure command.
  2. Select LDAP ConfigurationAdvanced LDAP parameters.
  3. Configure the parameter settings as described in Parameter settings.
  4. Configure the attributes as described in Role configuration.
