LDAP Search Query
VisualGroups uses LDAP information to display caller information if they are not included in the global phonebook. You can change the LDAP query. This allows you to perform searches in specific LDAP nodes or apply a custom filter.
1 Select “Administration | Settings | LDAP” in the main menu of the web portal.
*The LDAP configuration page opens.
2 You can define the following settings:
Name
Description
Enable LDAP
Select the checkbox to enable or disable the LDAP function.
LDAP server & port
Enter the server address and port to which you want to connect. The address can be a hostname or an IP address.
Advanced Query Settings
You can specify a custom LDAP query. Activate the checkbox to enable the input field.
The default search query is '(searchNumber={0})’ which is applicable for any Estos MetaDirectory LDAP server. You can edit this query string according to your requirements. The filter mechanism adheres to the LDAP search filter syntax standards. '{0}' is used as the placeholder for the CallerID.
Example:
(&(dc=meta)(searchNumber={0}))
Enable authentication
Select the check box to enable authentication with user name and password.
User name, Password
Optional: Enter your user name and password if authentication is enabled.
3 Click on "Save”.
*The settings are now saved and are automatically used for each incoming call.
