LDAP Addressing
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a popular protocol used by large accounts to access large
quantities of data including corporate address books. The local system will need to know where the LDAP
server is located on the network and may need a login name and password if the LDAP server is not
configured to allow NULL names and passwords.
The Internet Services LDAP page enables you to configure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
information.
LDAP is used for the following activities:
• To access the corporate address book to locate e-mail addresses for use with the E-mail and Internet Fax
services
• To authenticate users when configured as the method of Authentication
• To authorize users to gain access to device features, when configured as the method of Authorization.
For instructions on how to configure Authentication and Authorization, see Authentication on page 7-1.
