LDAP

Note: LDAP support is only available on the device. Configuration of the LDAP directory settings
requires the network to support LDAP services.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a popular protocol used by large accounts to access
large quantities of data including corporate address books. The local system will need to know where
the LDAP server is located on the network and may need a login name and password if the LDAP server
is not configured to allow NULL names and passwords.
The Internet Services LDAP page allows you to configure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
information.
LDAP is used for the following activities:
• To access the corporate address book to locate e-mail addresses for use with the E-mail and
Internet Fax services.
• To authenticate users when configured as the method of Authentication.
• To authorize users to gain access to device features, when configured as the method of
Authorization.
Information Checklist
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following items are available or tasks have been performed:
• Ensure the E-mail feature is functional on the device and your network supports LDAP services.
• Obtain the IP Address (or Host Name) of your LDAP Server. The device may also need a login
name and password if the LDAP server is not configured to allow NULL names and passwords.
• Use an LDAP client to validate your settings before inputting them into the Internet Services
menus. LDAP clients include Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook and Netscape
Communicator.
• To use host names, DNS must be configured on the device.
