A CMS system using local authentication can also use LDAP authentication with Microsoft Active Directory (AD).

• To use Active Directory, you must install the LDAP package on CMS and administer CMS to connect to the AD server. See the following documentation:

  • The "Administering LDAP" section in the Administering Avaya Call Management System manual.

  • The "Updating the LDAP authentication package configuration" section in Maintaining and Troubleshooting Avaya Call Management System manual.

• The CMS user ID must match the user ID in Active Directory.

• The CMS user ID can have up to 20 alphanumeric characters and no special characters.

• The RHEL password complexity settings do not apply to LDAP authentication.
