40.15 Routing Based on LDAP Active Directory Queries
The device supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), enabling call
routing decisions based on information stored on a third-party LDAP server (or
Microsoft’s Active Directory™ Enterprise Directory server). This feature enables the
usage of a single common, popular database to manage and maintain information
regarding user’s availability, presence, and location.
The basic LDAP mechanism is described below:

Connection: The device connects and binds to the remote LDAP server either
during the service’s initialization (at device start-up) or whenever the LDAP
server's IP address and port is changed. The LDAP Service makes 10 attempts
to connect and bind to the remote LDAP server with a timeout of 20 seconds
between the attempts. If the connection fails, the service remains in the
disconnected state until either the LDAP server's IP address or port is changed.
If connection to the LDAP server later fails, the service attempts to reconnect.
The SNMP alarm is sent when the connection is broken. Upon successful
reconnection, the alarm is cleared.
Binding to the LDAP server can be anonymous or not. For anonymous binding,
the LDAPBindDN and LDAPPassword parameters must not be defined or set to
an empty string.
The address of the LDAP server can be a DNS name / FQDN configured by the
LDAP Server Domain Name parameter, or an IP address configured by the LDAP
Server IP parameter.
Up to five LDAP servers can be provisioned in the Mediant 8000/Mediant 5000
system, where each Media Gateway SIP board can be assigned with one LDAP
server.
