Programming the LDAP server

Press the [User Tools/Counter] key.

Select [Prog/Chnge/Del LDAP Server] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select [Program/Change] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select the LDAP server you want to program or change using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

When programming the server, select [*Not Programmed].

Select [Name] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select [Search Base] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select the root folder to start the search from e-mail addresses registered in the selected folder which is the search targets.

Enter the search base, and then press the [OK] key.

For example, if the search target is the sales department of ABC company, enter "dc=sales department, o=ABC". (In this example, the description is for an active directory. "dc" is for the organization unit, and "o" is for the company.)

Search base registration may be required depending on your server environment. When registration is required, unspecified searches will result in error.

Check your server environment and enter any required specifications.

Select [Port No.] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Specify the port number for communicating with the LDAP server. Specify a port that is compliant with your environment.

Enter the port number using the number keys, and then press the [OK] key.

Select [SSL] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select [On] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Use SSL to communicate with the LDAP server.

To use SSL, the LDAP server must support SSL.

When SSL is set to [On], the port number automatically changes to "636".

If you do not use SSL, security problems may occur. SSL setting must be enabled on this machine. For details, consult your network administrator.

Select [Authentication] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Select [Kerberos Authentication], [Digest Authentication], [Cleartext Authentication], or [Off] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

To make a search request to the LDAP server, use the administrator account for authentication.

Authentication settings must comply with your server's authentication settings. Check your server settings before setting this machine.

[Digest Authentication] is available only with LDAP Version3.0.

If you select [Kerberos Authentication], a password is sent using an encryption process that prevents passwords from being revealed during transmission to the KDC server where authentication occurs.

If you select [Digest Authentication], a password is sent using an encryption process that prevents passwords from being revealed during transmission to the LDAP server.

If you select [Cleartext Authentication], a password is sent to the LDAP server as is, without any encryption processing.

If you select [Kerberos Authentication], proceed to step 19 to 21, and then proceed to step 22.

If you select [Digest Authentication] or [Cleartext Authentication], proceed to step 19 to 20, and then proceed to step 22.

If you select [Off], proceed to step 22.

Enter the User Name, and then press the [OK] key.

When [Kerberos Authentication], [Digest Authentication], or [Cleartext Authentication] is selected for the authentication setting, use the administrator account name and password. Do not enter the administrator account name and password when using authentication for each individual or each search.

Procedures for the user name setting differ depending on server environment. Check your server environment before making the setting.

Example: Domain Name\User Name, User Name@Domain Name, CN=Name, OU=Department Name, DC=Server Name

Enter the Password, and then press the [OK] key.

The user name and password are required for administrator authentication to access the LDAP server.

You can connect to the LDAP server using a user name and password stored in the Address Book. For details, see "Registering SMTP and LDAP Authentication".

If you select [Digest Authentication] or [Cleartext Authentication], proceed to step 22.

Select the Realm using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Press [Com.Test].

Access the LDAP server to check that the proper connection is established. Check authentication works according to the authentication settings.

Press [Exit].

Select [Search Conditions] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

If the connection test fails, check your settings and try again.

This function does not check search conditions or the search base.

Select necessary search items such as [Name], [E-mail Address], [Fax Number], [Company Name], and [Department Name] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

You can enter an attribute as a typical search keyword. Using the entered attribute, the function searches the LDAP server's Address Book.

Enter attribute, and then press the [OK] key.

The attribute value may change depending on the server environment. Check the attribute value complies with your server environment before setting it.

You can leave items blank, but you cannot leave attributes blank when searching for e-mail address from the LDAP server Address Book.

Press [Exit].

Select [Search Options] using [] or [], and then press the [OK] key.

Enter attribute, and then press the [OK] key.

To search the LDAP server date using a keyword other than prepared keywords such as Name, E-mail Address, FAX Number, Company Name, and Department Name, specify the attribute for the keyword registered in your LDAP server, and the name to be displayed on the control panel during the search. For example, to search e-mail address by “Employee No” in the key display field.

The attribute value may change depending on the server environment. Check the attribute complies with your server environment before setting it.

Enter the Key Display, and then press the [OK] key.

The registered "Key Display" appears as a keyword for searching LDAP.

Press [Exit].
