Voice Office Application Suite Configuration Guide
With the exception of the LDAP Base DN syntax, which is site-specific, the
attributes provided on the Operation > Voice Office > Directory page are
defaults common to more widely used LDAP directory applications. If a
default attribute does not work for your site, you can easily look up the
correct attribute with the free LDAP Browser from Softerra.
This section describes how to use LDAP Browser to look up the
information requested on the Directory page.
To install and set up LDAP Browser:
Download the free LDAP Browser application from
www.ldapbrowser.com.
Install LDAP Browser and open it.
From the LDAP Browser window, choose File > New Profile and specify
the following settings:
Host: Host name or IP address of your LDAP server.
–
Port: Defaults to 389.
–
Base DN: You can leave this field blank. (The information
–
provided by the LDAP Browser will help you determine the Base
DN needed for the Express Directory page.)
Anonymous Bind: Select the checkbox if the LDAP server does not
–
require credentials to connect to it. If the LDAP server requires
credentials, leave the checkbox cleared, click Next, and enter the
credentials.
Click Finish.
The LDAP Browser displays the profile name that you just created in the
left pane of the LDAP Browser window and connects to the LDAP server.
To look up LDAP attributes:
In left pane of the LDAP Browser, select the profile name that you created.
To look up the Base DN, locate in the right pane the namingContexts
attribute. The value of that attribute is the Base DN for your site. The Base
DN is typically "dc=myDomain,dc=com" (if your directory tree is based on
Internet domain names) or "ou=domain,o=myOrg,c=country".
