LDAP



Select Settings > LDAP.

Avaya B179 has support for an external phone book, which means it can communicate with a

directory server using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). The built in search func-

tion dynamically lters the content from the LDAP database, based on the search characters

the user enter.

To make the LDAP phone book available, the administrator has to activate and congure the

LDAP feature.

Enable LDAP The LDAP feature is disabled by default because it has to be cong-

ured.

Name lter Denes how the entered search characters are used. The lter is

designed conforming to the string representation of LDAP search

lters described in RFC2254. The character % in the lter string will be

replaced with the search character entered by the user.

Example:

(|(sn=%*)(cn=%*)) - All entries with the search characters in the begin-

ning of the sn OR cn attribute are presented to the user.

Server URL The IP address of the LDAP server host. Supports ldap and ldaps.

Search base The DN (distinguished name) of the search base

Example:

dc=domain, dc=com.
