Creating custom Java classes for searching the LDAP
Create custom Java™ classes that provide greater control over how the Sametime® Community server conducts name searches of an LDAP directory and how results are formatted.
About this task
Creating a custom Java class can be especially effective with complex LDAP directory schemas. The Java code that you write must be compatible with the Java Run-Time Environment (JRE) version 1.6 or later. In addition to the following topics, the Sametime wiki contains an article on writing Java classes that includes sample search filters: Optimizing Name Lookup: Sametime server .
New
and existing custom Java classes
for searching the Community Server's LDAP directory must include the
appropriate UUID attribute for the LDAP directory if UUID is used
with policy assignments or Sametime user login IDs:
| LDAP directory | UUID attribute |
|---|---|
| IBM® Domino® Directory (LDAP format only) | Dominounid |
| IBM Security Directory Server | ibm-entryuuid |
| Microsoft™ Active Directory | objectguid |
| Novell eDirectory | guid |
