Enabling The Ldap Service; Enabling Ldap-Based Web/Cli User Login Authentication And Authorization; Configuring Ldap Server Groups - AudioCodes Mediant 500L User Manual

For both of the previously discussed LDAP services, the following additional LDAP
functionality is supported:

Search method for searching DN object records between LDAP servers and within
each LDAP server (see Configuring LDAP Search Methods).

Default access level that is assigned to the user if the queried response does not
contain an access level.

Local Users table for authenticating users instead of the LDAP server (for example,
when a communication problem occurs with the server). For more information, see
''Configuring Local Database for Management User Authentication'' on page 263.

LDAP service, as described in the following procedure.
