Important: Please excuse our mess while we improve your admin experience! We are in the process of migrating all accounts to the new GoTo Admin. The article below is meant for admins who use PBX Administration (classic) at https://my.jive.com/pbx. If you're an admin who uses GoTo Admin at https://admin.goto.com, please refer to: How do I create a corporate directory (LDAP)?
Before you begin:
You must be assigned an Admin or Super admin role to perform this task.
The following configuration is advanced. You should be familiar with LDAP and work closely with your directory admin during setup.
