Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station Administrator’s Guide 1.1.0
Polycom, Inc. 117
The CX5500 system currently supports the following LDAP servers:
● Microsoft
®
Active Directory 2003 SP2
● Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 p6
● Open LDAP Directory Server 2.4.12
● Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) 1.0 SP1
The CX5500 system supports corporate directories that support server-side sorting and those that do not.
For phones that do not support server-side sorting, sorting is performed on the phone.
Tip: Better Performance With Server-Side Sorting
Polycom recommends using corporate directories that have server-side sorting for better
performance. Consult your LDAP Administrator when making any configuration changes for the
corporate directory. For more information on LDAP attributes, see RFC 4510 - Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Technical Specification Road Map.
Web Info: Supported LDAP Directories
Configuration of a corporate directory depends on the LDAP server you use. For detailed
explanations and examples of all currently supported LDAP directories, see Technical Bulletin
41137: Best Practices When Using Corporate Directory on Polycom Phones.
