Filter
Specify the search filter. While in the Basic View you can only specify one host/domain/bind dn, on the
Advanced View you have a choice to list more than one of them. For example, if you have two independent servers
or two domain controllers to authenticate against, you can list both of them, separated by a semicolon, like this:
· Host: 192.168.1.10; 192.168.1.15
· Domain: dom1.test.com, dom2.test.com
· Search base: ou=students,o=university; ou=teachers,o=univeristy
· Filter: uid=<username>
Note that the Host, Domain and Search base fields must have the exact same number of items. You may not have 1 host and
2 domains, for example. However, the filter is always the same for all items, thus you may not specify more than one filter.
Edit Host Map
Click on this button to edit the host map. Here you can associate IP addresses with domain names, or fix invalid domain
name entries. Most users never have to use this option.
Test Your LDAP Connection
When you are finished with configuring the LDAP settings, go to the
Test Authentication
tab to test if it works. Type in any
user name and password that
you know, then click "
Test Login
". Shortly a dialog box will pop up, describing the
result of
the test.
F. Global Address Book
The Global Address Book setting is where you specify the location for the Global Address Book and its parameters. There
are two options:
Global Address Book is in local database.
If this is chosen, the Global Address Book will be stored locally on the SendMe station, in the Local User Database. The
Global Address Book does not belong to any particular user, but all the users at the same time. No external server is needed
for this option, but you will need to create a database file and add users. These instructions are in
User Management
.
Use LDAP server for Global Address Book.
Choose this option if you would like to store the global contacts in an external LDAP server. This option allows users to
capitalize on a centrally maintained source of current email addresses and fax numbers.
Configuring SendMe for the LDAP Global Address Book
When you choose the "Use LDAP server for Global Address Book" option, additional settings will appear. The configuration
is broken into 3 different tabs:
Test
,
LDAP Basic
and
LDAP Advanced
. The Test tab will be used to test if the connection is
live, but first the server has to be configured properly.
The LDAP Basic tab
is the main configuration screen, where the most important options are located:
