These instructions assume you have the following equipment and services:
•
A functional LDAP server such as OpenLDAP or Microsoft's Active Directory
Server 2003
•
A Cisco SPA 500 Series IP Phone running at least 6.1.3a software on a
functional network
Users access LDAP from the Directory menu on their IP phone. There is a limit of
20 records returned from an LDAP search.
Before you use the LDAP Corporate Directory Search feature of your phone, you
need to configure some basic information.
STEP 1
Log in to the web administration interface.
STEP 2
Click Admin Login and advanced.
STEP 3
Click the System tab.
STEP 4
In the Optional Network Configuration section, under Primary DNS, enter the IP
address of the DNS server. (Only required if using Active Directory with
authentication set to MD5.)
STEP 5
In the Optional Network Configuration section, under Domain, enter the LDAP
domain. (Only required if using Active Directory with authentication set to MD5.)
NOTE
Some sites may not deploy DNS internally and instead use Active Directory 2003.
In this case, it is not necessary to enter a Primary DNS address and an LDAP
Domain. However, with Active Directory 2003, the authentication method is
restricted to Simple.
STEP 6
Click the Phone tab.
STEP 7
Under LDAP Corporate Directory Search, in the LDAP Dir Enable field, choose yes
to enable LDAP and cause the name defined in LDAP Corp Dir Name to appear in
the phone’s Directory menu.
STEP 8
Configure values for the fields in the following table and click Submit All Changes.
