LDAP Configuration

The Cisco IP Phone supports 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.
Users access LDAP from the Directory menu on their IP phone. An LDAP search returns up to 20 records.
The instructions in this section assume that you have installed an LDAP server, such as OpenLDAP or
Microsoft Active Directory Server 2003.
