LDAP Interface
Directory information can be transferred using the LDAP protocol. A central service
(LDAP server) manages a comprehensive, hierarchically organised directory which
can be queried by an LDAP client via LDAP. The OpenCom 100 communications
system supports two different LDAP applications:
• OpenCom 100 communications system as LDAP client: an external directory can
be queried via LDAP, for example, in order to display the information thus
gathered when there is a call.
• OpenCom 100 communications system as LDAP server: the telephone book
managed by the OpenCom 100 communications system can be accessed via
LDAP.
Address Queries using LDAP
You can search the data of the central telephone book of the OpenCom 100 from a
workstation computer in the LAN using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).
When configuring an LDAP-enabled programme, specify the IP address of the
OpenCom 100 as the address of the LDAP server.
