Table 36: Configuring LDAP server settings
Field
Name
Description
Preferred To view contacts from this LDAP server from the Contacts page, select Yes.
Users can then select one of these preferred LDAP servers to view the
contacts in that LDAP database.
Type Define the type of LDAP server you are configuring, as follows:
Local Server: The endpoint's built-in LDAP server. Users can add,
modify and delete contacts, as well as call and browse contacts in the
phone book.
Remote H.350 (XT Endpoint): An external XT Endpoint's built-in LDAP
server. Users cannot make any changes to the contact list for this
endpoint.
Remote H.350 (generic): A third-party LDAP server, such as Microsoft
Active Directory. Users cannot make any changes to the contact list for
this endpoint.
Address Enter the LDAP server address.
Port Enter the port used to connect to the LDAP server. The default port is 389.
User Enter the username and password required to access the LDAP server. The
format of the username is in the form of a Distinguished Name (DN).
Some standard components of DN are: domain controller (dc), organizational
unit (ou), common name (cn), country (c), state or province (st), locality (l),
organization (o).
The login to third party LDAP servers is via a Simple Bind LDAP v3 operation.
Important:
When using the endpoint's built-in LDAP server, you can modify the
password here.
When using an external XT Endpoint as the LDAP server, this value cannot
be modified, since the LDAP user of a XT Endpoint is predefined.
Password
Base The root of the LDAP tree where the contacts’ records are defined. Use this
field for third party LDAP server connections to define the node under which all
the inetOrgPerson entities are located. For example ou=people.
This value is predefined when the LDAP server is an XT Endpoint, and cannot
be modified.
Root DN For third party LDAP servers, enter the mandatory H.350 Root DN.
For XT Endpoint LDAPs, this field is not displayed.
Filter The filter applied to the LDAP tree, so you view only the relevant contacts. This
value is predefined when the LDAP server is an XT Endpoint.
