Creating a User Provisioning Rule for LDAP Synchronization

A user provisioning rule (UPR) provides a way to manage the users to be imported. A UPR can provide the following properties for importing users.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the page Solution > Solution Settings > User Synchronization Using LDAP > Manage User Provisioning Rules.
  2. In the User Provisioning Rule Name field, enter a name for the rule.
  3. Optional. Select an IP Office Name from the list.

    If an IP Office system is selected, the users are created on this system.

  4. Optional. Enter a Start Extension.

    If a start extension is provided, users are assigned starting from this extension. If an extension number is in use, the extension number is skipped and the next available number is assigned.

  5. Optional. Select an Extension Template from the Select Extension Template list.

    The extension template is applied to all users imported with this UPR.

  6. Optional. Select an Extension Type to define the extension type created for each user.

    If both Select Extension Template and Extension Type are selected, the Extension Template is used.

  7. Optional. Select a User Template from the Select User Template list.

    The user template is applied to all users imported with this UPR.

  8. In the LDAP directory, enter the name of the UPR created in IP Office in the User column.
  9. In IP Office, navigate to the page Solution > Solution Settings > User Synchronization Using LDAP > Synchronize User Fields.
  10. Map the IP Office fields defined in the user provisioning rule to User Provisioning Rule.
