Parameter Description
■ LDAP-based SIP queries: The parameter is the
password used by the device to authenticate itself,
as a client, to obtain LDAP service from the LDAP
server.
■ LDAP-based user login authentication: The
parameter represents the login password entered by
the user during a login attempt. You can use the $
(dollar) sign in this value to enable the device to
automatically replace the $ sign with the user's login
password in the search filter, which it sends to the
LDAP server for authenticating the user's username-
password combination. For example, $.
Note:
■ The parameter is mandatory.
■ By default, the device sends the password in clear-
text format. You can enable the device to encrypt the
password using TLS (see the 'Use SSL' parameter
below).
Defines the LDAP server's bind Distinguished Name
(DN) or username.
■ LDAP-based SIP queries: The DN is used as the
username during connection and binding to the
LDAP server. The DN is used to uniquely name an
AD object. Below are example parameter settings:
✔
cn=a-
administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com
✔
administrator@domain.com
✔
domain\administrator
■ LDAP-based user login authentication: The
parameter represents the login username entered by
the user during a login attempt. You can use the $
(dollar) sign in this value to enable the device to
automatically replace the $ sign with the user's login
username in the search filter, which it sends to the
LDAP server for authenticating the user's username-
password combination. An example configuration for
the parameter is $@sales.local, where the device
replaces the $ with the entered username, for
example, JohnD@sales.local. The username can
also be configured with the domain name of the
LDAP server.
Note: By default, the device sends the username in
clear-text format. You can enable the device to encrypt
the username using TLS (see the 'Use SSL' parameter
below).
