Fax Integration for Active Directory/Group Policy
Integrating with Active Directory or another LDAP-compatible directory services enables FAXCOM Suite for Windows administrators to manage and control multiple fax services independently according to their network needs.
Integration with an LDAP-compatible service involves the following:
- Enabling the integration with the directory service.
- Establishing policies (AD Group Policies or FAXCOM® Policies) that enable users to send and receive faxes.
- Configuring the FAXCOM Queues to perform directory service lookups to route incoming faxes.
Group Policy integration with FAXCOM Suite for Windows enables administrators to assign and control aspects of the fax service such as:
Policies for Outbound Faxes
- Default Cover Page – select the default cover page for the users covered by the policy; if appropriate, allow users to only select the default cover page.
- Max Priority – select the maximum priority users can specify when transmitting a fax.
- Account – specify an Account Number to track fax usage.
- Faxes sent by these users requires authorization by –to specify any outgoing faxes sent by the users must be authorized for transmission.
- Transmit Restrictions - to allow or not allow faxing to specific fax numbers or groups.
Policies for Received Faxes
