Novell Documentation: Nsure Identity Manager Drivers

pbxSite Object

This object is used to represent the PBX site. The driver uses the information about the PBX site to connect to the PBX.

The driver cannot perform work orders unless the following conditions for pbxSite objects are met:

A DirXML-pbxSite object is created for each PBX.
The object contains correct values for the required attributes.
Not all attributes are required for all environments; some of them depend on factors such as whether you have hot or cold jacks, and whether you have non-DID phone numbers. These are noted in the tables below.
In the driver parameters, the correct container is specified for PBX site objects.
Each time you create or make changes to a DirXML-pbxSite object, you stop and restart the driver.
This step is necessary so the driver will recognize the changes. The driver queries for PBX site information only at startup. Because of this, normally no DirXML association is necessary for DirXML-pbxSite objects and they do not need to be included in the Filter.

The following table shows the attributes you need to specify for the PBX site. Use the iManager plug-ins to make this easier.

You must enter values for each attribute unless the table indicates that a value is not required or is conditional.

pbxSite Attributes (eDirectory namespace)	PbxSite Attributes (Driver namespace)	Description	Format	Sample Value
Common Name	(no mapping is necessary for this in the driver namespace)	This is the naming attribute for eDirectory. In the sample configurations discussed in this manual, the value comes from the PbxName attribute.	case ignore string	ProvoPBX
DirXML-pbxPbxName	PbxName	Local name for the PBX.	Single value case ignore string	ProvoPBX
Telephone Number	TelephoneNumber
DirXML-pbxLoginName	LoginName	Name used to authenticate to PBX.	Single value case ignore string eDirectory and the driver ignore the case, but the PBX itself might be case sensitive.	mylogin
DirXML-pbxPassword	Password	Password used to authenticate to PBX.	Single value case ignore string eDirectory and the driver ignore the case, but the PBX itself might be case sensitive.	mypassword
DirXML-pbxBrand	Brand	(Optional) Brand/Model of PBX.	Single value case ignore string	Avaya
