Configuring LDAP Authentication and Auto-Provisioning
When a user attempts to log on to MCA, a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query
authenticates the user logon credentials. Rather than querying its own internal database to
verify if the user name and password are authorized, an LDAP query is launched against the
corporate directory. If the response indicates the username/password combination is legitimate,
the user can access MCA for scheduling and placing calls. In this scenario, the user’s password
is not stored on MCA and you do not need to administer the user database on MCA, except
to change some enhanced service features for users.
MCA also uses the LDAP query process to set auto provisioning. If the LDAP query indicates
the user name/password combination is legitimate, but the user name does not match any
existing user name on MCA, a new account is automatically established for that user. The user
is set up with the default level of authorization to use the system’s special features and is able
G.729 Port Limit Audio Compression port limit valid values are 0-100 (default is 100).
Uncompressed audio ports will be used once the maximum has been
reached. A value of 0 indicates G.729 audio compression ports are
disabled.
Note: 2-way Client Audio feature introduced in MCA 5.0 will only use
G.711 voice encoding ports (it will not use G.729 ports).
Prompt for Access Code First When selected the Access Code will be required before the Personal ID
can be entered when accessing the Audio portion of the conference.
Email Admin informing when the
MCA disk space utilized reaches
% of XX GB
This option allows the administrator to be notified by email when the MCA
server disk space reaches xx% utilization. This option is checked
(enabled) by default with a value of 80%. The administrator also has the
option of disabling this option.
Note: The disk space allocated to the MCA conference recordings and
documents is 40% of the total available disk space on the MAS/MCA
server. The 40% of the entire disk space is determined when the page
loads.
For example on a system with 100GB disk space, the option will read
"Email Admin informing when the MCA disk space utilized reaches
_________ % of the 40GB allotted to recordings and documents".
Prompt to extend conference <x>
minutes prior to its end time
When selected, the End of Conference Prompting (EOCP) minutes box
becomes active. The value selected in this box determines the number of
minutes prior to the end of a conference that the user receives a prompt

PC profiling will still occur, however this must be enabled before any client
can select HD resolution.
