Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide
The Cisco SPA300 Series and Cisco SPA500 Series IP phones support
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) v3. LDAP Corporate Directory
Search allows a user to search a specified LDAP directory for a name, phone
number, or both. LDAP-based directories, such as Microsoft Active Directory 2003
and OpenLDAP-based databases, are supported. (LDAP is not supported on the
Cisco WIP310.)
Users access LDAP from the Directory menu on their IP phone. There is a limit of
20 records returned from a LDAP search.
The instructions in this section assume you have the following equipment and
services:
• A LDAP server, such as OpenLDAP or Microsoft Active Directory Server
2003
• A Cisco SPA300 Series or Cisco SPA500 Series IP phone running firmware
version 6. 1 .3a or higher
To prepare the LDAP Corporate Directory Search:
Click Admin Login > advanced > System.
In the Optional Network Configuration section, under Primary DNS, enter the IP
address of the DNS server. (Only required if using Active Directory with
authentication set to MD5.)
In the Optional Network Configuration section, under Domain, enter the LDAP
domain. (Only required if using Active Directory with authentication set to MD5.)
Some sites might not deploy DNS internally and instead use Active Directory
2003. In this case, it is not necessary to enter a Primary DNS address and an LDAP
Domain. However, with Active Directory 2003, the authentication method is
restricted to Simple.
Click the Phone tab.
Under LDAP, in the LDAP Dir Enable field, choose yes to enable LDAP and cause
the name defined in LDAP Corp Dir Name to appear in the phone directory.
Configure values for the fields in the following table and click Submit All Changes.
