Field Description
Server Settings
Subtree DN The Active Directory subdirectory to restrict the search to.
Search Options
Type • Search on demand: The Directory tab on the softphone will have a Search button. The
Directory tab is empty until the user performs a search. Each time the user clicks Search, a new
retrieve is performed. This option is recommended for directories with more than 500 entries.
• Type to filter list: The Directory tab on the softphone will not have a Search button. The
Directory tab is populated as soon as Bria starts, with the records from the database (restricted
by the Max records field. When the user types in the filter field in the Directory tab, the local
contents are filtered (a new retrieve is not performed).
Search timeout A search of the database will stop if it has not succeeded by this timeout.
Max results Optional, to restrict the number of records returned.
• When “Search on demand” is chosen, this field can be used to prevent the user retrieving too
many records (and slowing down the system).
• When “Type to filter” is chosen, make sure this number is at least equal to the number of
records in your database, otherwise records at the end of the database will never be retrieved.
0 means no maximum number of records.
Update interval When “Type to filter” is chosen, the database is retrieved with this frequency. If the user has
filtered the Directory contents, then when this timer expires, the filter is lost and the entire
database is displayed again.
Attribute Mapping
All fields In this section, map the names of the attributes that are in your directory to the corresponding
fields in Bria. The field label is the Bria field. The field box specifies the attribute name.
Be careful with this mapping because when users create a contact from a directory entry, the phone
number is mapped into the different contact methods in the contact. Specifically:
• Softphone: Bria recognizes a value in this field as a softphone address and will map this field to
the Softphone contact method for the contact. Bria considers a Softphone address as one that
can be phoned and (if SIP is being used for IM/presence) as one that can be used for IM/
presence.
• Jabber: Bria recognizes a value in this field as a Jabber (XMPP) address and will map this field
to the Jabber contact method for the contact. Bria considers a Jabber address as one that can be
used for IM/presence (if XMPP is being used for IM/presence).
