The system can use HTTP to import the directory records held by another system. Note that support for HTTP can be disabled. The setting can restrict a system from responding to HTTP requests. The system's Unsecured Interfaces security settings also included controls for HTTP access (HTTP Directory Read and HTTP Directory Write).
For Server Edition, on Secondary Server, Expansion System (L) and Expansion System (V2) systems, the HTTP settings are automatically defaulted to obtain the system directory from the Primary Server.
These settings can be edited online. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.
Field |
Description |
Directory Type |
Default = None (No HTTP import)/IP Office SCN on Server Edition. Set whether HTTP import should be used and the method of importation. The options are:
None: Do not use HTTP import. IP Office: Import from the system at the IP address set in the Source field. IP Office SCN: Import from a system in a multi-site network. The Source field is used to select the Outgoing Line ID that matches the H.323 line to the remote system. Collaboration Services: When selected, other non configurable options are hidden or their controls disabled with the enforced setting displayed. |
Source |
Default = Blank/9999 on Server Edition. The form of this field changes according to the Directory Type selection above. For IP Office this field requires the IP address of the other system. For IP Office SCN, the outgoing group ID of the IP Office line to the remote system is used. |
List |
Default = All. This field sets what types of directory record should be imported. The options are:
All: Import the full set of directory records from the remote system. Config Only: Import just directory records that are part of the remote system's configuration. Note that these will be treated as imported records and will not be added to the local systems own configuration records. LDAP Only: Import just directory records that the remote system has obtained as the result of its own LDAP import. This allows LDAP directory records to be relayed from one system to another. HTTP Only: Import just directory records that the remote system has obtained as the result of its own HTTP import. This allows HTTP directory records to be relayed from one system to another. |
URI |
Default = /system/dir/complete_dir_list?sdial=true This field is for information only and cannot be adjusted. The path shown changes to match the List setting above. |
Resync Interval (secs) |
Default = 3600 seconds. Set how often the system should request an updated import. When a new import is received, all previously imported records are discarded and the newly imported records are processed. |
HTTPS Enabled |
Default = On. Turns HTTPS support on or off for directory record import. |
Port Number |
Default = 443. The port used for the Directory import. When HTTPS Enabled is set to On, the default value is 443. When HTTPS Enabled is set to Off, the default value is 80. |
