LDAP/WEBDAV
No Requires that the specified
Service Account has access
to a Global catalog server in
the forest where the
ShareScan Manager is
running.
Requires Exchange server
2003 or later.
WEBDAV along with LDAP is
recommended when your company
employs lot of people, uses Exchange
2007 or earlier Exchange servers, and
needs simple firewall setups and
communication over secured HTTPS.
TCP ports 80 and 443 are supported (the
latter for HTTPS communication).
WEBDAV is not supported in Exchange
versions above 2007, it was replaced by
EWS in Exchange 2010.
WEBDAV/WEBDAV
No Requires the front-end
Exchange Server to be
version 2003 or later.
WEBDAV is recommended when your
company uses Exchange 2007 or earlier
Exchange servers, and needs simple
firewall setups and communication over
HTTP/HTTPS.
TCP ports 80 and 443 are supported (the
latter for HTTPS communication).
WEBDAV is not supported in Exchange
versions above 2007, it was replaced by
EWS in Exchange 2010.
LDAP/EWS
No Requires Exchange Server
2007 with Service Pack 1 or
later.
EWS along with LDAP is recommended
when your company employs a number of
people, uses multiple Exchange servers,
and you want to take advantage of the
service URL autodiscover feature
(administrator do not need to reconfigure
ShareScan when the Exchange
infrastructure is changed).
You can restrict LDAP queries with profile
settings for the organizational unit which
uses a particular scanning device; queries
are executed faster, and result lists are
considerably shorter. Our LDAP protocol
implementation autodetects the Global
Catalog server, and supports SSL
communication as well. EWS also
supports cross domain setups, so can be
used when ShareScan and the target
Exchange server exist within separate
domains.
