Module configuration interface

create_resource_form: .:/usr/share/escaux/glue/lib:/usr/share/escaux/glue/bin/gen_wiki_documentation/src/lib:/usr/share/escaux/glue/bin/gen_wiki_documentation/src/lib/

No parameters to configure.

Module configuration parameters

  • No configuration parameters available.

LDAP Client configuration

  • The LDAP server runs on port 389.
  • The base DN is 'dc=directory' without the quotes.
  • It is a read only access.

Clients can connect anonymously or with user+password. The directory is read-only. It is recommended to bind anonymously. For connections with user+password you should use 'ldapuser' as username and 'ld4pp4ss' as your password.

This module is only tested for use with Aastra DECT RFP 32 and Polycom Phones.

Exposed Attributes

The object class for exposed attributes is inetOrgPerson

  • cn: The common name
  • uid: The uid
  • sn: The last name.
  • givenName: The first name
  • mail: The e-mail address
  • mobile: The mobile phone number
  • userPassword: The PIN
  • postalAddress: The site
  • homeNumber: The home number
  • telephoneNumber: The extension
  • businessCategory: The profile
  • physicalDeliveryOfficeName: The department
  • internationaliSDNNumber: The external number
  • facsimileTelephoneNumber: The fax number
  • departmentNumber: The department.

Limitations

  • This module is not compatible with baseline 1 SOPs
  • The LDAP Server module does not access directly the internal directory stored on the SOP. It uses special tables which are synced by the Unified Communication Model module. This table is synced according to the cron specification provided in this module. This means that the changes done at the SMP are not immediately available after an apply-change.

Shell plugin usage

Starting with LDAP Server 1.5.0, a Shell plugin is available to search the local LDAP server.

Simply navigate to Diagnostics/LDAP Server/Test basic search. There you can :

  • Leave the form empty, in which case the next screen will show all the entries contained in the LDAP server
  • Give an LDAP filter, for example "cn=Steve Jobs" (without the "), in which case the next screen will show the results matching this filter
