Reading from an LDAP Server
When you enable and congure LDAP preferences to populate the corporate directory, you specify the hostname, login and
query parameters, and the refresh interval for reading data from a precongured LDAP server. LG recommends that you use
an LDAP server congured with an H.350 compliant schema.
LDAP Connection Status Description
Unregistered LDAP preferences are not congured.
Registered
LDAP preferences are congured. The last attempt by the system to contact the LDAP
server and receive data was successful.
Unreachable
LDAP preferences are congured, but the LDAP hostname is invalid or the service does
not exist.
Unauthorized LDAP preferences are congured, but the username or password is invalid.
Invalid Syntax LDAP preferences are congured, but the base Distinguished Name (DN) is invalid.
Failed LDAP preferences are congured, but an unexpected failure occurred.
Configuring Auto Discovery
Auto discovery enables the systems on your network to pass address information to other systems automatically.
By default, when a system joins a network, it sends a broadcast packet to the local subnet to announce its presence.
Any system on the local subnet that receives the packet and has Auto Discovery set to Enabled replies by sending address
information about itself and a list of IP addresses of other systems that it has discovered.
The system creates an entry in its corporate directory for every system on the local subnet from which it received a response.
It then queries the list of other IP addresses that it received and the IP addresses that are stored in its own Redial list, but
only if those addresses are allowed by the lters that you specify in the Auto Discovery Subnets and Auto Discovery Ignored
Subnets preferences.
By default, the system replies and sends queries to other systems in the local subnet only.
Congure the Auto Discovery Subnets and Auto Discovery Ignored Subnets preferences to enable the system to discover
other systems outside the local subnet and share that information with other systems.
Specify subnet lters (separated by spaces) in the Auto Discovery Subnets preference to identify the subnets to which the
LifeSize system can send queries and replies.
By default, the preference is empty; the system sends queries and replies to other systems on the local subnet only.
To exclude subnets from auto discovery, specify subnet lters in the Auto Discovery Ignored Subnets preference. If a
destination address does not match one of the lters in the Auto Discovery Subnets preference, or if it matches one of the
lters in the Auto Discovery Ignored Subnets preference, then the system does not query or reply to the system at that
address.
For example, you can congure the Auto Discovery Subnets preference to include a large subnet and the Auto Discovery
Ignored Subnets preference to exclude a subset of the subnet. Consider a network that has several subnets with the IP
address 10.* and a slow network connection to devices that have a 10.85.* address. If you enter 10.* in the Auto Discovery
Subnets and 10.85.* in the Auto Discovery Ignored Subnets preference, the system queries and replies to all the systems that
have a 10.* address, except those that have a 10.85.* address.
If you set Auto Discovery to Disabled, the system does not send a broadcast message to the local subnet and cannot
discover or be discovered by other systems.
