ProCall NEX

From the "Professional" tariff of ProCall NEX, contact data from a MetaDirectory can be integrated.

The MetaDirectory is installed on-premises as usual to enable access to local data sources such as ODBC.
Detailed instructions can be found here: MetaDirectory Enterprise

Quick start for MetaDirectory with ProCall NEX

Install MetaDirectory

Install MetaDirectory version 6.2 or higher.

Technically, it is possible to continue using an existing MetaDirectory installation.

Enter access data

During installation, enter the access data for the server account of the ProCall NEX installation.

You do not need an additional licence.

Assign password

It is essential that you assign a secure password for the MetaDirectory Administrator during installation.

Select user administration

In the MetaDirectory administration, select "User administration with Procall NEX" as the user database.

For the access data, you need the password that was created for the administration during the commissioning of ProCall NEX.

Make sure you save this password.
