LIGHTWEIGHT DIRECTORY ACCESS PROTOCOL (LDAP)
The 6800 Series IP phones are able to use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
server for reading directories over an IP network. When configured, users are able to search
for contacts, dial out to contacts, copy contacts to the Local Directory, or simply view the contact’s
details (e.g. title, company name, numbers, work and home addresses, e-mail addresses,
etc...).
Administrators can fully configure an LDAP Directory by defining the following parameters in
configuration files.
Basic LDAP Parameters
Notes:
1.
For compatibility purposes your LDAP database must be configured with a matching
rule to ignore case (i.e. queries should be case-insensitive). Refer to RFC2252 for
information on the LDAP attribute type EQUALITY and other settings related to
matching rules.
2.
Only the basic LDAP parameters are required to be configured for LDAP
functionality.
3.
Advanced LDAP parameters are optional and are not required for LDAP functionality.
These advanced parameters can be used for advanced customization of the LDAP
directory.
