Caveats and Limitations
- Unity Connection with Bottom Up is unlikely to be effective with MIFs, due
to a lack of LDAP fields available to construct an effective MIF.
- Unity Connection Bottom-Up may have unexpected results for user duplication
due to duplicates during the ImportUsers transaction. This may lead to
unexpected failures during Quick Add Subscriber (QAS) transactions where
voicemail is provisioned. This known issue is tracked in CSCvd58565. The
workaround is to ensure that userid duplicates are filtered in the Unity
Connection LDAP bind agreement(s) using multiple binds or LDAP filtering.
- When LDAP Search, that is UDS Proxy, is used, CUCM Local Users will not be
listed in the UDS directory
- More complex MIFs could be required for non-geo clusters, where a separate
macro may need to be defined, for example filtering on US Area Codes in
telephoneNumber attribute. In this case, it could lead to many statements
for large clusters with many sites. Some care will need to be taken to find
the most effective macros for the deployment. MIFs containing a large number
of attr_filters have the potential for data sync performance degradation.
In such cases, consult your VOSS-4-UC Account Team before employing this
approach to assess the performance impact.
- At this time, custom LDAP attributes are not yet supported with MIFs due to
limitations in the CUCM AXL API.
