- For Active Directory: use preferredLanguage value from AD, if not empty
- If empty, or if another backend is used: use the language based on the Country Code selected in WMS Settings → PBX → Language -> PBX -> Language and region
- If the official language of the country is not supported as user interface language, or if the country has several official languages (e.g. Switzerland), then Language selected in Language and region settings is applied
...
- Backend: select AD
- Hostname: IP address or domain name of remote server
- Port: specify the port (389 by default)
- Secure connection: enable encryption during the connection
- User: user with the rights to access to the server
- Password: password of user to access to the server
- Base DN: Distinguished Name of the base depends on customer’s database structure (e.g. dc=wildix,dc=local)
Windomain (import of users): the domain name that user name is connected to and which is required for Active Directory authentication
Note Note: The Windomain field is available starting from WMS 5.04.20220425.1
In case the Windomain field is empty, the data is taken from Base DN.
Full domain (import of users): the field allows to add a custom domain
Note Note: The Full domain field is available starting from WMS 5.04.20220819.1.
Sign-on (import of users): enable the option to allow sign-on with AD credentials for imported users
Note Note: Automatic AD Single Sign-on is available. Consult Active Directory Single Sign-On for details.
- Allow only single Sign-on (import of users): enable the option to allow only single sign-on. If the option is enabled, login of users to Collaboration with WEB password is not possible
...
- Example: SELECT ${MAP} FROM `export_csv_user_10000` WHERE `type`="user"
- Example for query for import of of contacts from SAP Business One: select '' as empty, OCRD.CardCode, CardName, Name, Tel1, OCPR.Fax, Cellolar, E_mailL, Title from OCRD INNER JOIN OCPR ON OCRD.cardcode = OCPR.cardcode where cardtype = 'S' (More information on SAP B1 integration: https://www.wildix.com/sap-business-one/
In this example only those fields from the “Map” section will be imported, which are present in “export_csv_user_10000” table and only for contacts whose type is “user”.
