LDAP

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol used to process queries and updates to an
information directory, also known as an LDAP directory, stored on an external server. LDAP directories
are heavily optimized for read performance. Use this page to define how the printer retrieves user
information from an LDAP directory.

Configuring LDAP/LDAPS Server Settings

1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > LDAP > LDAP
Server.
2. Under Server Information, type the appropriately formatted main and backup LDAP server
addresses and port numbers. The default port number is 389.

the mapping allows you to fine-tune server search results.

Mappings.
To send a test query, under Search, type the name of the user you want to search for in the User
2.
Name field, then click Search.
If a match occurs, the user information is displayed.
Use the drop-down menus under Imported Heading to remap fields as needed.

Note: Headings are defined by the LDAP server's schema.

Configure Authentication for LDAP
