LDAP
LDAP is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining information services for the distributed
directory over an IP network. You can configure the systems to interface with a corporate directory server
that supports LDAP version 2 or 3. The following LDAP servers are supported:
• Microsoft Active Directory
• Sun ONE Directory Server
• Open LDAP Directory Server
• Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM)
The biggest advantage of LDAP is that users can quickly find contacts from the LDAP server without having
to maintain the phone book locally. The contact information returned by the LDAP server is read-only, and
the user can call an LDAP contact, but cannot add, edit, or delete an LDAP contact. The administrator can
configure the filtering conditions of the LDAP request on the devices, such as the number of displayed
contacts, the returned information, and how to sort contacts.
The method about how the devices search for contacts on LDAP is described as below:
• Enter the content you want to search in the Dialing interface (ensure that the callee has enabled the
LDAP in the matching list).
• In the Contact interface, select the “Colleague” group to go to the LDAP search interface and enter the
desired content.
The device sends a search request to the LDAP server, and the LDAP server will search all contacts
according to the input content and the filtering condition, and then return the matched result to the device.
