DEFINITION & USE:

 
The genericIdentity object class represents other multimedia conferencing information associated with a person or resource. It is an auxiliary class and is related to the commObject class and . implementers should review H.350 in detail. The particular user or resource with which an endpoint is associated via commOwner takes on special importance, as that may represent contact information required for further information in the use of the particular endpoint. If specific attributes such as IP address or URIs are necessary to support this endpoint type, then the standard attributes defining IP address and URI should be used. Keep in mind that in a directory of directories scenario, external searches will only be aware of the genericIdentity attributes and will not know to display IP address or URI. Standardized protocols should not extend and use genericIdentity but should instead create and standardize their own protocol-specific auxiliary classes as new contributions to the H.350 series of recommendations.
