VSP716A Administrator and Provisioning Manual
The filter <attribute>=* returns records containing the user-entered string anywhere in that
attribute. If gn=* is used for a firstname filter, entering “ar” returns records such as Karen,
Arnold, Gary, etc.
The filter (|(gn=%)(sn=%)) returns firstname and lastname records that start with the
user-entered string.
LDAP number filters give you the same control over number searches and matches. If for
example, you have defined the number attributes
telephoneNumber
,
mobile
and
otherPhone
for Work, Mobile and Other numbers respectively, then the filter
(|(telephoneNumber=*)(mobile=*)(otherPhone=*)) will display the correct directory
information if the number (from an incoming call, or a dialled number) matches a number
in any three of those fields.
The filter telephoneNumber=* will display the correct directory information if the incoming
call number matches a number in the “Work” field only.
Setting
Description
Enables or disables the phone's access to the LDAP
directory.
Enter the LDAP directory name.

Ensure the protocol value matches the version assigned
on the LDAP server.
Select the LDAP server authentication scheme.
Enter the user name or authentication name for LDAP
server access.

Enter the LDAP search base. This sets where the search
begins in the directory tree structure. Enter one of more
attribute definitions or LDAP field names, separated by
commas (no spaces). Your directory may include attributes
like "cn" (common name) or "ou" (organisational unit) or
"dc" (domain component).

bandwidth.

returning search results.
