3.11.1 LDAP
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol enables access to a directory server via an LDAP
client. Various personal information is stored there, e.g. the name, organization, and contact
data of persons working in an organization. When the LDAP client has found a person’s data,
e. g. by looking up the surname, the user can call this person directly using the displayed num-
ber.
For connecting the phone’s LDAP client to an LDAP server, the required access data must be
configured. The parameter Server address specifies the IP address of the LDAP server. The
parameter Transport defines whether the phone has to continue to use an unencrypted TCP
connection to the LDAP server, or to use an encrypted TLS connection to a separate LDAPS
port on the LDAP server. If the Authentication is not set to "Anonymous", the user must au-
thenticate himself with the server by providing a User name and a corresponding Password.
The user name and password are defined by the administrator. The user name is the string in
the LDAP bind request, e. g. "C=GB,O=SIEMENS COMM,OU=COM,L=NTH,CN=BAYLIS MI-
CHAEL". The internal structure will depend on the specific corporate directory.
For a quick guide on setting up LDAP on an OpenScape Desk Phone CP phone, please refer
to Section 4.2, “How to Set Up the Corporate Phonebook (LDAP)”.
A search field for LDAP requests is supported. The search string is submitted to the LDAP serv-
er as soon as the OK key is pressed or when the Search trigger timeout expires.
