Attributes required to create a Skype for Business Server user

To create a Skype for Business Server user, you must populate the following required attributes provided by Synchronization Service:

  • RegistrarPool

  • SipAddress

  • DistinguishedName, DisplayName, or Identity

For more information about the attributes listed above, see Supported Skype for Business Server data.

Getting or setting the Telephony option value in Skype for Business Server

To get or set the Telephony option value for a Skype for Business Server user object, use the following attributes provided by Synchronization Service:

  • AudioVideoDisabled

  • EnterpriseVoiceEnabled

  • RemoteCallControlTelephonyEnabled

For more information about these and other attributes that Synchronization Service provides for a Skype for Business Server user object, see Supported Skype for Business Server data.

The following table lists the attribute value combinations that correspond to a particular value in the Telephony option.

Working with Oracle Database

This section describes how to create or modify an Active Roles Synchronization Service connection to Oracle Databases, so that you can synchronize data stored in those systems. It also lists the type of data you can read and/or write in an Oracle Database with Synchronization Service.

To create a connection to an Oracle Database, use the Oracle Database Connector of the Synchronization Service.

The Oracle Database Connector supports the following features:

Table 11: Oracle Database Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

No

Creating an Oracle Database connection

You can create a new Oracle Database connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

To create a new Oracle Database connection

  1. Make sure that the Synchronization Service computer has the following software installed:

    • Oracle Client: Ensure Oracle Client is configured to connect to the Oracle service that can be used to access Oracle Database that hosts the data you want to work with.

    • Oracle Net Services

    • Oracle Data Provider for .NET

      For supported versions of this software, see the System Requirements section in the Active Roles Release Notes.

  2. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  3. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select Oracle Database Connector.

  4. Click Next.

  5. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Oracle service name: Specify the name of the Oracle service you want to use to access Oracle Database. You can click Refresh to get a list of available Oracle services.

    • Access Oracle service with: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the Oracle service.
    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  6. Click Next.

  7. On the Specify how to select and modify data page, use the following options:

    • Use data from this table: Allows you to select a database table that includes the data you want to participate in the synchronization operations. You can click Preview to preview the database table you have selected.

    • Use an SQL query to specify data: Allows you to compose an SQL query that provides a more flexible way for specifying the data for synchronization. For example, you can use this option to specify multiple database tables.

  8. Click Next.

  9. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, use the following options:

    • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

    • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

    • Add->: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

    • <-Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

    • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  10. To finish creating the Oracle Database connection, click Finish.
