Specifying Destinations Using the Address Book (LDAP Server)

0L3X-115

You can specify a destination by searching the directory listings on the network using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers.

You can also register the search conditions specified in this procedures as the default search condition.

NOTE
You may have to set up the LDAP servers beforehand, depending on the network environment. (See "LDAP Server Settings.")

Press

(Main Menu) →[Scan and Send] → [Address Book].

Press [Change Addr. Book].

NOTE
[Change Addr. Book] appears only if you register both the Remote Address Book and LDAP server. If only the LDAP server is registered on the machine, [To LDAP Server] is displayed.

Press [LDAP Server].

The Enter Network Password screen appears if the settings for [Register LDAP Server] are as follows:

<Display Authentication Screen When Searching> is set to 'On'.

The user name, password, or domain name is incorrect.

IMPORTANT
You cannot search for a destination via an LDAP server if the time settings of the server and this machine are more than five minutes apart. If you cannot search even when the user name and password are correct, check the time settings for the server and this machine. The number of search results displayed will not exceed the maximum limit set in [LDAP Server]. If the desired destination does not appear, either increase the maximum number of addresses to search, or change the search criteria. (See "LDAP Server Settings.")

Search for a destination.

NOTE
If you perform a new destination search when a search result is already displayed on the destination list screen, the displayed search result is cleared. If the search result for specified criteria is displayed, the search result is cleared and search for all criteria is processed when you press [All]. If you set [Auto Search When Using LDAP Server] to 'Off', nothing appears on the destination list screen until you perform a search. If the search result from [Search by Conditions] is displayed on the search list screen, you cannot additionally press [Search by Name] to narrow the search by name. If a destination is registered with an e-mail address and a fax number, you can search for the e-mail address by entering the fax number as the search criterion, and vice versa.

NOTE

If you perform a new destination search when a search result is already displayed on the destination list screen, the displayed search result is cleared.

If the search result for specified criteria is displayed, the search result is cleared and search for all criteria is processed when you press [All].

If you set [Auto Search When Using LDAP Server] to 'Off', nothing appears on the destination list screen until you perform a search.

If the search result from [Search by Conditions] is displayed on the search list screen, you cannot additionally press [Search by Name] to narrow the search by name.

If a destination is registered with an e-mail address and a fax number, you can search for the e-mail address by entering the fax number as the search criterion, and vice versa.

[Org. Unit]:	Search by organization unit (e.g., departments in an organization).

For example, if the name that identifies a user in the LDAP server directory is cn(common name)=user1, ou(organization unit)=salesdept, o(organization)=canon, c(country)=jp, enter the organization/organization unit of the user as follows:

organization=canon

organization unit=salesdept

NOTE
You can only use organization/organization unit as search categories if the information has been registered on the LDAP Server. You may be unable to search using organization/organization unit, depending on the type of server application. You can also add additional user-defined search attributes. (See "Registering/Editing LDAP Search Attributes.")

Press the search criteria drop-down list → select the desired search criteria.

The available criteria are:

[Contains]:	The result must contain the entered text.
[Does Not Contain]:	The result must not contain the entered text.
[Equals]:	The result must equal the entered text.

Press [OK] when the <Change Default LDAP Search Conditions: Register> screen appears with all the criteria you entered.

NOTE
You can specify up to four different search criteria at a time. If you specify three or more search criteria, you cannot use both [or] and [and] together.

Press [Start Searching].

To cancel searching while the machine is searching, press [Cancel]. If the machine finds results before you press [Cancel], those search results are displayed.

NOTE
If you press [Start Searching] without specifying any search criteria, all of the addresses stored on the LDAP server appear.

If you specify an e-mail address as an I-fax destination, the only information that you can retrieve from the server is the I-fax address. To specify settings to match the recipient's receiving conditions, press [Details] on the Scan and Send screen. If you select only one destination, press (Start) to send from the Address Book screen.

(Start) to send from the Address Book screen.

NOTE
The information that can be obtained from the LDAP server consists of only names and e-mail addresses. You cannot directly specify a destination obtained via a server as a forwarding destination. To specify it as a forwarding destination, you must first store it in the Local Address Book. (See "Registering an Address Obtained via an LDAP Server.")
