The question is related to setting up integration between Active Directory, Cisco Unified CM, and IM&P for a customer who has a single Active Directory domain with users in various email domains, where each user is associated with only one email domain. The customer wants their users to federate to external organizations using their email addresses. Two methods are required to achieve this integration, which are explained below:

A. CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID set to sAMAccountName, CUCM LDAP Directory URI set to mail, IM Address Scheme set to Directory URI

In this method, the CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID is set to sAMAccountName, which is a unique attribute of Active Directory that identifies each user account. The CUCM LDAP Directory URI is set to mail, which indicates that the email address of each user will be used as the directory URI. The IM Address Scheme is set to Directory URI, which means that the directory URI will be used as the IM address.

B. CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID set to mail, IM Address Scheme set to User ID

In this method, the CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID is set to mail, which means that the email address of each user will be used as the User ID. The IM Address Scheme is set to User ID, which means that the User ID will be used as the IM address.

C. CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID set to sAMAccountName, CUCM LDAP Directory URI set to msRTCSIP-primaryuseraddress, IM Address Scheme set to Directory URI

In this method, the CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID is set to sAMAccountName, which is a unique attribute of Active Directory that identifies each user account. The CUCM LDAP Directory URI is set to msRTCSIP-primaryuseraddress, which is an attribute of Active Directory that contains the SIP address of each user. The IM Address Scheme is set to Directory URI, which means that the directory URI will be used as the IM address.

D. CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID set to mail, CUCM LDAP Directory URI set to mail, IM Address Scheme set to Directory URI

In this method, the CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID is set to mail, which means that the email address of each user will be used as the User ID. The CUCM LDAP Directory URI is set to mail, which indicates that the email address of each user will be used as the directory URI. The IM Address Scheme is set to Directory URI, which means that the directory URI will be used as the IM address.

E. CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID set to mail, IM Address Scheme set to mail.

In this method, the CUCM LDAP Attribute for User ID is set to mail, which means that the email address of each user will be used as the User ID. The IM Address Scheme is set to mail, which means that the email address will be used as the IM address.

In conclusion, the correct answers are A and B. Answer A is preferred when the email domain is different from the Active Directory domain. Answer B is preferred when the email domain is the same as the Active Directory domain.
