Parameter Description
'Server Search Method'
server-search-method
[LdapServerGroups_
SearchMethod]
Defines the method for querying between the two LDAP
servers in the group.
■ [0] Parallel = (Default) The device queries the LDAP
servers at the same time.
■ [1] Sequential = The device first queries one of the LDAP
servers and if the DN object is not found or the search
fails, it queries the second LDAP server.
'DN Search Method'
search-dn-method
[LdapServerGroups_
SearchDnsMethod]
Defines the method for querying the Distinguished Name
(DN) objects within each LDAP server.
■ [0] Sequential = (Default) The query is done in each DN
object, one by one, until a result is returned. For example,
a search for the DN object record "JohnD" is first run in
DN object "Marketing" and if a result is not found, it
searches in "Sales", and if not found, it searches in
"Administration", and so on.
■ [1] Parallel = The query is done in all DN objects at the
same time. For example, a search for the DN object
record "JohnD" is done at the same time in the
"Marketing", "Sales" and "Administration" DN objects.
Cache
'Cache Entry Timeout'
cache-entry-timeout
[LdapServersGroups_
CacheEntryTimeout]
Defines the duration (in minutes) that an entry in the device's
LDAP cache is valid. If the timeout expires, the cached entry
is used only if there is no connectivity with the LDAP server.
The valid range is 0 to 35791. The default is 1200. If set to 0,
the LDAP entry is always valid.
'Cache Entry Removal
Timeout'
cache-entry-removal-
timeout
[LdapServerGroups_
CacheEntryRemovalTimeout]
Defines the duration (in hours) after which the LDAP entry is
deleted from the device's LDAP cache.
The valid range is 0 to 596. The default is 0 (i.e., the entry is
never deleted).
Configuring LDAP Servers
The LDAP Servers table lets you configure up to 82 LDAP servers. The table defines the address
and connectivity settings of the LDAP server. The LDAP server can be configured for SIP-related
queries (e.g., routing and manipulation) or LDAP-based management user login authentication and
authorization (username-password).
The following procedure describes how to configure an LDAP server through the Web interface.
You can also configure it through ini file [LdapConfiguration] or CLI (configure system >
ldap ldap-configuration).
