4.The Accessing the LDAP Server group box includes controls for configuring network settings for the address book.

●Click Find Servers to find any LDAP servers on the network by broadcasting a predetermined query to all servers on the local subnet.

If you know the network address of the LDAP server, you can type it into the LDAP Server: text box rather than using Find Servers. DNS names are not supported.

●In the LDAP Server Bind Method: text box, the following settings are available:

●Anonymous: No username or password is submitted to the LDAP server with the query.

●Simple: The values from the Username and Password boxes are used to authenticate to the LDAP server. This is not NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication. An administrator sets up the username and password for this instance of an LDAP database.

5.Click Find Settings to determine LDAP database search root by using the following methods:

●Connecting to the LDAP database at the configured port and querying for the "base dn" record.

●Querying for address records by using various values for the search root, including the null search value and values that are discovered from the base dn record.

●Querying for e-mail and fax records by using the standard LDAP attribute values.

6.If the automatic find settings process does not work, use the Search Root box to manually indicate where in the LDAP database hierarchy to begin searching for the requested address record.

7.If needed, use the Mfp user information retrieval method group box to find addresses according to certain attributes:

●Select Exchange 5.5 Defaults to use a predefined set of LDAP attribute associations to locate address records.

●Select Active Directory Defaults.

●Select Custom to locate address records that have the following custom attributes:

●Match the name entered with the LDAP attribute of...: Select uid, cn, sn, given Name, or type the name of the LDAP attribute containing the user's common display name.

●Retrieve the mfp user's email address using the attribute of...: Select rfc822Mailbox, mail, userPrincipalName, or type the name of the LDAP attribute containing the user's e-mail address.

The username that the user types at the control panel is used to find matches for records in the LDAP database that are filed under the uid, cn,sn, or givenName attributes. When a match is found, the e-mail and fax addresses are completed by using the addresses that are stored in the attributes in the Retrieve the mfp user's email address using the attribute of... text box.
