LDAP Interface 213
Application Interfaces
LDAP version 2 or via LDAP version 3. The LDAP query requires
either an anonymous LDAP directory access without a password or
a LDAP directory access with user name and password.
Note: SSL encryption of LDAP communication is not supported.
You can configure a separate LDAP directory access for each com-
pany configured (see Multi-Company Variant starting on
page 196):
1. Open the Telephony: Extended: Companies page in the
web configurator. The list of companies configured is
displayed. If you do not use the multiple company variant,
“company 1” is the only entry.
2. Open the configuration page for the company desired. Activate
the Status option under the LDAP Server header. Enter the
IP address or DNS name of the LDAP server into the Server
entry field. The online help of the Forum 523/524
communications system provides detailed descriptions of the
other entry fields.
3. Use Apply to confirm your settings.
An LDAP server can be configured to saved various types of infor-
mation which are available in a tree-like data structure. Alongside
querying address book entries, which should be saved in the “Ine-
tOrgPerson” schema, many companies also use a LDAP server for
centrally organised management of user accounts, for instance.
