Using the LDAP directory when sending faxes
Important
External LDAP directories can only be used when sending faxes by placing files in the autosend directory. You
cannot use LDAP Directories when sending faxes from the Command Shell or from VSI-FAX LanFax Windows
Client and VSI-FAX Outlook Client.
Once you have added the LDAP Directory you want to use in VSI-FAX Server Administration (see Adding a new
LDAP directory) and granted users access to this LDAP Directory (see Granting users access to LDAP directories),
you can submit faxes in the $VSIFAX\autosend directory.
For example, submit a.tag file that contains the following tags:
cli=vsifax
pal=Smith, Rebecca
fll=c:\sample.txt
Since the search is done on the cn attribute of the users in the database, you need to indicate the user's full name in
the pal tag.
You need to have mapped at least the Fax and the Email fields in the properties of the LDAP Directory in the MMC
for the server to be able to find destinations for outgoing faxes. The fax will be sent to the fax number that matches
the full name specified, or to the email address specified if no fax number is found.
