LDAP Interface
LDAP with Outlook Express / Windows Mail
You can configure and operate the LDAP directory service with
"Outlook Express" or "Windows Mail", an e-mail programme, as
follows:
1. Call up the Accounts command in the Tools menu.
The Internet Accounts dialogue box will then open.
2. Click on Add. Select the Directory Service command from
the pop-up menu.
3. Under Internet directory (LDAP) server, enter the
address of the Forum 523/524. It is not necessary to enter
log-in data to query the central telephone book. You have to
enter the log-in data for the account on the Forum 523/524
communications system here if you wish to also query entries
from the central telephone book or from the company
telephone book additionally. Click twice on Next. Then click on
Finish.
4. Check the function. In the Edit menu, call up the Find:
People command.
The Find: People dialogue box will then open.
5. In the Look in list, select the entry with the Forum 523/524
address. Enter a user in the Name input field, Administrator
for example. Then click on Find now.
The list of entries found should now display the address from
the central telephone book.
Querying External LDAP Server
The Forum 523/524 communications system can also access
external address directories. This means that alongside the inter-
nal telephone book entries, address information from external
sources is also available. This information is used, for example, in
a name search or for displaying a name for an incoming call.
The external address directory is queried by the Forum 523/524
communications system via the internet Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP). To do so, you require a server on the
company network which makes address information available via
Application Interfaces
