The biggest plus for LDAP is that users can access the central LDAP directory of the
corporation using the endpoint. Therefore they do not have to maintain the local
directory. Users can search and dial out from the LDAP directory and save LDAP entries
to the local directory. LDAP entries displayed on the display device screen are read only.
They cannot be added to, edited or deleted by users. When an LDAP server is
configured properly, the endpoint can look up entries from the LDAP server in a wide
variety of ways. The LDAP server indexes all the data in its entries, and "filters" may be
used to select the desired entry or group, and retrieve the desired information.
Configurations on the endpoint limit the amount of displayed entries when querying
from the LDAP server, and decide how the attributes are displayed and sorted.
Performing a LDAP search on the endpoint:

Enter search content in the dialing screen. (Ensure that the LADP is in the enabled
search source lists)

In the Directory screen, select Company to enter the LDAP search screen, and then
enter a few characters which you want to search.
The endpoint will send the search request to the LDAP server, the LDAP server then
performs a search based on the entered content and configured filter condition, and
returns results to the endpoint.
