C. Create Custom LDAP Server on the MFP
1. Click on Network Settings on the left hand menu item and then click on the LDAP
Settings sub menu.
2. Click on the Add button and the new Global Address Book Settings screen will
appear.
3. Enter the name to use for this address book, the LDAP search root and the IP
address or DNS name of the LDAP server.
NOTE: It is important that the Search Root field has at least the domain root
path entered. If this field is left blank, authentication can be done but the
Linkage with User Control Function will not be applied.
4. Change Server Type from Standard to Custom so that that the default attributes
fields can be edited.
NOTE: LDAP attributes must be capitalized and spelled exactly as shown or the
Linkage with User Control Function will not be applied.
5. As this address book will be used for authentication only, change the Search
Attribute field from cn to sAMAccountName. This attribute returns the user’s
logon name rather than his first and last name from the cn attribute.
NOTE: This is important as the user account is auto created on the MFP when
the user logs on for the first time at the MFP. When printing, the user must
supply his logon name (sAMAccountName) and password. If the default cn
attribute is used in the custom LDAP setup, two accounts for the same user will
be created. As an example, if the user’s cn attribute is Don Clark and his logon
name is clarkd, two users accounts will be created on the MFP – *Don Clark and
*clarkd.
6. It is assumed that the following user attributes were available for use with the
Linkage with User Control Function:
a. physicalDeliveryOfficeName (Displayed as Offic
e on user’s General tab in
Active Directory Users and Computers )
