Thanks Anthony. I did find it and found that, for some reason, they put a 
restriction on the LDAP search using the LDAP system definition. Argh.

Our directory (for sync) and authentication is AD based. So the LDAP system 
definition is AD based with sAMAccountName.

As a result, the Search uses the following mapping which is not editable: 
userID = sAMAccountName.

I don’t understand why they would impose that restriction. Many EDUs have 
_both_ AD and (native) LDAP servers out there. I want to use my corporate LDAP 
server (which does not have sAMAccountName) for phone lookups.

Double Argh.

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Jabber with LDAP contact search over MRA

I haven't used it, so here's what I think I know on the topic.

This is actually a CUCM feature, which let's clients still use UDS, but as a 
proxy for LDAP searches.  So the UDS messaging still goes from Jabber through 
MRA (supported), and then once it hits CUCM, the CUCM converts the UDS message 
into an LDAP query, followed by converting whatever response it receives from 
LDAP into a UDS response back through MRA to the Jabber client.

The reason you likely couldn't find info on it, is because it's not a Jabber 
nor MRA feature, rather it's a CUCM 11.5 feature.

OK, I remember there was talk about enabling LDAP contact search over MRA using 
some sort of special proxy or redirect.

Did that ever happen?

I can't seem to find reference to it in the feature or parameters guide.

We want our user experience to be the same across devices and whether they are 
on-prem or off-prem, so this eliminates any solution that doesn't transcend all 
scenarios.

Right now, contact searches are done to the AD server that our system is 
integrated with via UDS. Problem is, our AD server is not authoritative for our 
phone directory, our LDAP server is.

I was hoping for an easy fix to perform non-authenticated LDAP lookups for all 
scenarios.

Thoughts?
