Disable directory lookup using skype manager

Is there a way to disable Skype directory search using Skype Manager?
Thank you!

According to the Administrator Guide, there is a way to restrict importing of contacts; you can research further here:
https://support.skype.com/resources/sites/SKYPE/content/live/DOCUMENTS/0/DO5/en_US/skype-it-administ...
I do not know of a way in Skype Manager to block a user affiliated with a Skype Manager profile from searching the Skype directory for other Skype users.
Here's a link to the Skype Manager User Guide so it's handy:

Directory Lookup Using Callmanager 5.1 (Linux)

Can anyone point to me to information on how to query the informix database (specifically the directory portion) for use in an application? We are hoping to present our users with a directory lookup option off of our portal...
I rate any helpful replies.

Thanks Sascha - I was looking at AXL SOAP for this level of access; however, it seems complex to write an application in C++ or Java just to query a database. Is there no SQL access or LDAP connections available? This is for a web app that does nothing more than is available when a user selects the Corporate Directory lookup from their phone... Please tell me a simpler solution is available.

Home Directory Creation using Remote Manager

Hi,
We are working on OIM-AD. we have two AD domains in our environment. we need to create home directory folder upon AD provisioning such that only admin or respective user can access the folder. We tried all possible stops but we are not able to assign proper permissions. Also in one of the domain the vbscript for folder creation is run by admin and in other domain it has to be run by domain user.
has anyone achieved this by means of Remote Manager?

Hi Cmm user,
Thanks for your posting.
To set the attribute of homedirectory for a user in powershell, please also try the cmdlet set-aduser:
import-module activedirectory
$HomeDrive=’Z:’
$UserRoot=’\\CONTOSO-FPS\Users$\’
$HomeDirectory=$UserRoot+$AccountName
SET-ADUSER $AccountName –HomeDrive $HomeDrive –HomeDirectory $HomeDirectory
I hope this helps.

My camera/iSight is apparently disabled--can't use Skype or Photo Booth. How can I fix this?

I went to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler/USB and do not see camera listed. Based on an earlier found on Support Communities info, I tried shutting down, holding control-option-command and power button, letting go, then powering on again. No luck. Any ideas appreciated.

Check out the following thread:
my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat
===========
To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

Skype Manager Difficult to FIND?

I hadn't used Skype Manager for a while, and went to www.Skype.com to access it. Logged in as myself, and I am set as a full administrator for our business account.
Why isn't there an obvious, prominent link after I login, to go to the Skype Manager web app???
Annoyingly the only appropriate sounding link, "Skype Manager" in the "Account Details" list, only lets me edit a few obvious settings about my personal account's visibility in Skype Manager - it takes me into a "Skype Manager settings" area which looks sort of like Skype Manager (but isn't).
Looks like there is no link from my account to the real Skype Manager web app, and I need to just know the URL "manager.skype.com".
Would be easy to make this much easier to use...

Thanks for your feedback and i have to admit that I fully agree there's a shortcoming of the new Skype web account page. I've shared your suggestion with the product team to consider adding this link in a future upgrade to the web account page.

Shared voicemail via Skype Manager?

Hello,
I am looking to set up Skype for my business of just 2 people: myself and a colleague.
We wish to have a single account with a Number and voicemail that we can both access.
The obvious solution appears to be to just set up a single personal account with these features, but it doesn't seem appropriate to be entering DOB, Gender, etc for a business account.
Is there any way of using skype manager to achieve what I want? The main purpose of the number is just to direct to voicemail, but it would be nice if it would attempt to call both business accounts in series before doing this.
Thanks,
Stephen.

Skype Manager Europe

Hi,
I am looking to use Skype Manager for my business and have come across some problems:
1. When creating a manager account i am not given the option to change the country. Does this mean that it can only be done for U.S. people? If it does we can stop right away since we are based in Switzerland.
2. Can one use subscriptions in Skype manager? I currently use the skype world subscription and want to do the same for my employees (hence why i am thinking of using Skype manager).
Thank you

I agree with your distaste for Skype Help. Although it is difficult to be aggravated with something that actually does not exist. Ii is obvious you have tried to use it and found as I'm certain most everyone else has, that Skype help is absolutely a total waste of time. It never addresses the question asked. Just provides a list of BS to fill the void. There mustbe a better service to use than this crappy one.

Privacy on Skype Manager

I am looking to use Skype Manager for my business. As the administrator of the skype accounts, will I be able to view the calls my employees make and take via Skype?

Unfortunately, there are no privacy settings on Skype that can prevent receiving new contact invitations.
The only what can be done is to refuse the invitation and report the person for abuse.

Cannot Log In to Skype Manager

Why is my account blocked and why isn't there at least a chat support available to get this resolved quickly? My company uses Skype Manager to run our IP phones and now our entire office is down and nothing we can do about it.
When I goto manager.skype.com this is what I get:
Your user is blocked. Please turn to customer support.
None of the IP phones in our office work because they use Skype's SIP trunks and I can't even log into the account to check the settings.
I find it hard to believe that this is all the support that's available for a business account. The frustration from this incident alone is enough for us to switch services to something more RELIABLE FOR BUSINESS.
I expect that things just happen from time to time...no biggie. But when they do and it's not our fault, then Skype needs to step up and do something about it.

Prices for skype manager

sirs,
i want to use skype manager. What about price for it?
is it free? how much is it?
thank you
Genisson

I wish I had realized this before I added credit to my account. I too wanted to purchase a new number and did not realize that the expired ones would auto-renew before I could make my purchase that I needed. I don't have the extra funds to make the correct purchase and at the end of this year I will close my Skype account. They have lost a customer.

Enabling OCSP checking in Access Manager causes Directory lookup error

I have deployed Access Manager 7.1 update 1 to Sun Java Web Server 7. This is on a Solaris 9 sparc server.
If I enable OCSP checking in AMConfig.properties, I get the following in my web server logs:
HTTP3068: Error receiving request from 214.x.x.x (Directory lookup error).
This is when running the webserver as webservd - if I run it as root (not acceptable in my environment) I don't have a problem. I have successful installations on a Solaris 10 x86, and another Solaris 9 sparc server.
It seems to be either a permissions issue, or an environment issue, but after working with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and adding .jar and .so files to the amserver lib directory, I'm still not getting a working configuration. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks samk,
After the installation, I have started the Directory server,admin,and console with following commands:
bash-3.00# directoryserver start
bash-3.00# directoryserver start-admin

bash-3.00# directoryserver startconsole
Recieved the Login console window,logged in and got the ipsolutionshowcase tree.
What are the next steps I need to folow in order to launch the Access Manager page?
Ant thoughts?
Thanks for ye help

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
Skype issues should be posted in their forums and reported to their tech support department.

Cisco Jabber for Mac - Directory Lookup and Contact Fields

Hello,
After having issues myself with Cisco Jabber for Mac 9.2 specifically with Active Directory lookups not working, or contact information not populating (and therefore not being able to call users from the contact list as no telephone information exists) I am including a sample jabber-config.xml file that works for me.
Please note: there are many different ways to configure this. What I will be showing is the method that works for me and my deployment, which is pretty standard.
As always and as a disclaimer, once again, this is what has worked for my deployment scenario. Always keep backups of your configuration files, and always be mindful of anything you have configured already, especially in the jabber-config.xml file.
Background
My deployment is based on CUCM 9, with 1 publisher and 2 subscribers. I also have a CUCM IM & Presence 9.0 server. This assumes that you have already configured your deployment and Jabber is functioning already, albeit with the aforementioned issues.
As for Active Directory, my deployment will be based on Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers running in native 2008 mode. For this example, we will be searching directly against one of the DCs with a Global Catalogue role. Please be aware that in large deployments you will have to plan accordingly with regards to lookup traffic from Jabber clients to the DCs.
Also, as of Cisco Jabber for Mac 9, the client no longer can search via the CUCM internal directory (which may be made of local end users, Active Directory synced users, or a mix of both) and this must be done via a LDAP mechanism.
Scenario
In this deployment scenario, Cisco Jabber for Windows is working properly - you can search and add people from Active Directory, and contacts in your contact list have all the appropriate fields populated from Active Directory. However, when trying the same with Jabber for Mac, Jabber for iPhone or Jabber for iPad you notice that you cannot perform a directory lookup, and if you add people directly (for example, [email protected]) the user only has the IM field populated. No telephone, email or additional information is displayed.
Solution
Whereas Cisco Jabber for Windows uses the EDI mechanism (native Windows), whereby when running from a computer that is on the domain (or in the event that you are search for contacts in another Active Directory domain where a domain trust exists) , Jabber for Mac / iPhone / iPad uses the BDI mechanism.
In this case, you will need to provision a jabber-config.xml file that you will upload to your TFTP server (or Publisher) that will be "downloaded" by your Jabber for Mac client and also used by the iPhone and iPad client. You can configure many options in the jabber-config.xml file, but for this example we will place just the information that we need to order for these clients to request and display Active Directory information.
Please note that the configuration may vary depending on your deployment, but at the very least we will be:
- Configuring a DC where we will perform the lookup.
- Configure credentials that will be used to perform the lookup. This will be an Active Directory account that has read rights on the Active Directory domain. Please note that these credentials are saved in plain text in the file, so ensure that the account that you will be using is not privileged.
- Configure the server port that we will be using to perform the lookup.
- Configure the Search Base. This is basically where we want the directory lookup to happen. You can either choose for this lookup to start at the "base" of the domain (and therefore the search will iterate through all the user accounts and and OUs below the root base) or define a specific OU where you want to search.
Caution!
- There is a current limitation with Cisco Jabber for Mac whereby you can only have 1 search base configured. Please keep this in mind if, like me, you have multiple OUs (like an OU for each company in your organization) and under these OUs you have sub OUs as a user account container.
- If using the top level search base, unless you specify a filter, you will potentially be able to search for all user accounts in the domain. You will need to configure the <BDIBaseFilter> parameter if you want to fine tune your search ability.
Steps
These are the steps I have followed. Other steps or considerations may vary.
- Log in to your TFTP server and download the jabber-config.xml file and keep it as a backup. If you are already using the jabber-config.xml file for other purposes, do not worry - you can add your BDI information parameters inside.
- Remove the jabber-config.xml file
- Edit the jabber-config.xml file and configure thus:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>DOMAIN CONTROLLER IP ADDRESS</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>YOUR PRESENCE DOMAIN</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>YOUR SEARCH BASE</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>PASSWORD</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
For example, let´s assume the following:
- Domain controller IP address is 10.1.1.2 .
- Your presence domain is test.local .
- Your search base will be test.local using the top level of the domain.
- Your username with which you will be doing your searches is called walt . Usually you can either identify walt as test.local\walt or [email protected] . It is always best, in these sort of scenarios, to use the UPN convention so we will be configuring a [email protected] .
- The password is the Active Directory password for the account walt .
- I have disabled TLS in my case. There are issues with the Jabber for Mac client when using other security methods.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>10.1.1.2</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>test.local</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>DC=test,DC=local</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>walt01!</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
One you have configured the jabber-config.xml file, you will now need to upload it to you TFTP server. Once uploaded, you will need to restart the Cisco TFTP service. Again, my TFTP server is on my CUCM publisher, so:
- I go to Cisco Unified OS Administration on my Publisher server, TFTP File Management and I upload jabber-config.xml to / directory
- I then go to Cisco Unified Serviceability on my Publisher server, I locate the Cisco TFTP service and I restart the service
Once this is done, you can figure up your Jabber for Mac client. As a test, on your Mac (using Terminal) go to:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Cisco/Unified Communications/Jabber/Config
In here you will see several files, but what we want to see is jabber-config.xml . As soon as you start the Jabber for Mac client and log in, the jabber-config.xml file will download from your TFTP server and get saved here. When you see it appear, just type in your terminal window more jabber-config.xml and make sure that the output is the same as the xml file you created.
From there, try doing directory search. If you have previously added contacts and they still lack attribute information, you will need to remove them (sometimes it will not refresh properly) and add them again from the directory.
I will be updating this guide and ammending anything that is incorrect, but this is meant to be a quick checklist and steps to get this, at least in the most very basic version, up and running for Jabber for Mac.

Hello,
Thanks for this post! It works, I can do lookup and also I can add found contact to contact list and get information about contact from LDAP.
One more question: - I can't get all information about contact. I don't get e.c mobile phone number and more others attributes. I have tried to expand your file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
<BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
<BDIPrimaryServerName>IP of AD</BDIPrimaryServerName>
<BDIPresenceDomain>Presence Domain</BDIPresenceDomain>
<BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
<BDISearchBase1> Search Base</BDISearchBase1>
<BDIConnectionUsername>User</BDIConnectionUsername>
<BDIConnectionPassword>Password</BDIConnectionPassword>
<BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
       <BDISipUri>msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress</BDISipUri>
       <BDIPhotoSource>thumbnailPhoto</BDIPhotoSource>
       <BDIBusinessPhone>telephoneNumber</BDIBusinessPhone>
       <BDIMobilePhone>mobile</BDIMobilePhone>
       <BDIHomePhone>homePhone</BDIHomePhone>
       <BDIOtherPhone>otherTelephone</BDIOtherPhone>
       <BDITitle>title</BDITitle>
       <BDICompanyName>company</BDICompanyName>
<BDILocation>co</BDILocation>
<BDIPostalCode>postalCode</BDIPostalCode>
       <BDICity>l</BDICity>
       <BDIState>st</BDIState>
       <BDIStreetAddress>streetAddress</BDIStreetAddress>
</Directory>
</config>
But it didn't help.
When I capture lookup via Wireshark, I can see that Jabbers sends search request with bunch of attributes, but from LDAP answer contains only 8 attributes. (see attached screenshots)

Jabber for IPhone and Directory lookup rules.

At a client I have some problems with getting the Directory lookup rules to work.
I AD the costumer has formatteded the telephoneNumber in this format: +45 4444 XXXX
That is with 2 spaces in the phonenumber.
With Jabber for windows,cups, cucilync etc i have the choice of using "PhoneNumberMasks", so that I avoid the problem with the spaces.
But how do i do it with the directory lookup rules.
I need to make sure that I can do a lookup on 3 different calls.
Full E164 numer:     +454444XXXX
National number:     4444XXXX
Local call:               XXXX
Alt the moment i have those rules in place, but somehow I'm not getting the search for 8 digets national call.
<DialRules>
<DialRule BeginsWith= "4444" NumDigits="8" DigitsToRemove="4" PrefixWith=""/>
<DialRule BeginsWith= "+454444" NumDigits="11" DigitsToRemove="7" PrefixWith=""/>
<DialRule BeginsWith= "" NumDigits="4" DigitsToRemove="0" PrefixWith="+454444"/>
</DialRules>
I'm at a lost to why it's not working with 8 digtes?
Br
Kim Nielsen

Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case. Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
thanks
