The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

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 the following equipment and services:
Step 1 | Click . |
Step 2 | In the IPv4 Settings section, in the Primary DNS field, enter the IP address of the DNS server.
This step is required only if you are using Active Directory with authentication set to MD5. |
Step 3 | In the Optional Network Configuration section, in the Domain field, enter the LDAP domain. This step is required only if you are using Active Directory with authentication set to MD5. Some sites might not deploy DNS internally and instead use Active Directory 2003. In this case, it is not necessary to enter a Primary DNS address and an LDAP Domain. However, with Active Directory 2003, the authentication method is restricted to Simple. |
Step 4 | Click the Phone tab. |
Step 5 | In the LDAP section, use the LDAP Dir Enable drop-down list box to choose Yes.
This action enables LDAP and causes the name that is defined in the Corp Dir Name field to appear in the phone directory. |
Step 6 | Configure the LDAP fields. See the LDAP |
Step 7 | Click Submit All Changes. |
