Adding UMP Server to ARM

The Servers page in the ARM enables operators to add a User Management Pack (UMP) server for retrieving user data. Follow the instructions shown below to add a UMP server to the ARM.

By configuring a UMP server, the ARM can retrieve users with their Teams/Lync attributes, solving a limitation using the Azure AD sever; Microsoft Graph API (REST web API enabling accessing Microsoft Cloud service resources) doesn't support retrieving Teams/Lync attributes such as ‘EnterpriseVoiceEnabled’ or ‘OnPremLineURI’ which are needed for routing.

To add a UMP server:
1. Open the Servers page (Users > Servers).

2. Click the + icon and from the drop-down menu, select the UMP option.

3. Configure the settings under the UMP General Settings tab using this table as reference.

Name

Use HTTPS

Enables or disables the secure HTTP connection with the UMP server.

6. Click the UMP Scheduling Settings tab.

7. Configure the settings using this table as reference.
