How to Set Up the Corporate Phonebook (LDAP)
4.3How to Set Up the Corporate Phonebook (LDAP)
The Corporate Phonebook function is based on an LDAP client that can be connected to the company’s LDAP service. A variety of LDAP servers can be used, for instance Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, or Apache Directory Server.
>The Corporate Phonebook is available only on OpenStage 60/80.
4.3.1Prerequisites:
1.An LDAP server is present and accessible to the phone’s network. The standard port for LDAP is 389.
2.Query access to the LDAP server must be provided. Unless anonymous access is used, a user name and passwort must be provided. It might be feasible to use a single login/pass- word for all OpenStage phones.
3.To enable dialing internal numbers from the corporate phonebook, an LDAP entry must be provided that contains the proper number format required by the HiPath 8000.
In Microsoft Active Directory, the standard LDAP attribute telephoneNumber is typically populated as follows: +1<area code><call number>. However, in a standard configura- tion, the HiPath 8000 will not handle this dial string correctly, due to the +1 prefix. There- fore, it is recommended to use the ipPhone field, which is typically unused in Active Direc- tory. It can be found in the Telephones tab of the Active Directory User Manager.
