Reference12r2:Concept myPBX Search in local-Outlook Contacts

Requirements

• Microsoft Office Outlook
• PBX Version 12r2
  
• myPBX Windows launcher Version 12r2
  
• configured MAPI profile in Outlook (Exchange Account)

Configuration

You have an Office Integration tab inside the myPBX configuration window. Here you can enable Search in Outlook Contacts. This triggers myPBX to search in your personal Outlook Contacts.

Search and Result Attributes

The Outlook search uses the External LDAP Server configuration in the user configuration to define the attributes used. As this configuration uses LDAP attributes, those must be mapped to valid Microsoft Outlook Attribute schemes. Here is the mapping:

LDAP Attribute Name	Outlook Schema Name
sn	urn:schemas:contacts:sn
givenname	urn:schemas:contacts:givenName
company	urn:schemas:contacts:o
o	urn:schemas:contacts:o
cn	urn:schemas:contacts:cn
displayname	urn:schemas:contacts:dn
dn	urn:schemas:contacts:dn
department	urn:schemas:contacts:department
roomnumber	urn:schemas:contacts:roomnumber
telephonenumber	urn:schemas:contacts:telephoneNumber

h323	http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062004-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/8062001f

Note that the Outlook name lookup does not use LDAP. Only its configuration is inferred from the LDAP search configuration.

Usage

Outlook Search will find contacts in all exchange accounts and all contact folders from these accounts.

Known limitations

• Works only with windows launcher and so Windows compliant only.
• Not compatible with the reverse name resolution, based on incoming calling party numbers.
• Not compatible with the call list history, only called numbers will be stored as record.
