LDAP Authentication and LDAP addressbook

Generation of checklist with LDAP accessories in Ozeki Messages Server

Due to LDAP accessories, the Ozeki Message Server is able to connect to Domain Controller. It reaches the database being on the server through LDAP protocol. It collects the names and telephone numbers from the database of the server. By right of this, it builds own database - register. With practising of this method, we simplify modification of telephone numbers. The Ozeki Message Server will always use the actual telephone numbers.

Step 1 - Click on the Ozeki Server Monitor with right botton of mouse, then we choose Manage Service item (Figure 1.).

Step 2 - Log in the Message Server, User Name: admin (arrow 1), Password: abc123 (arrow 2), then we click on the OK button (Figure 2).

Step 3 - Choose the Server preferences... item from the Edit menu (arrow 2) (Figure 3).

Step 4 - The Message Server Configuration screen pops up. Choose Users/Addresses tab (Figure 4).

Step 5 - After this you have to set address of LDAP server (Figure 5). Place a checkmark in that checkbox pointing out ( arrow 1). Choose autldap.dll item from the dropdown menu (arrow 2) then click on the Configure button (arrow 3). We set the (arrow 4) name of the server and connectional port number (arrow 5) in the Directory Server Settings window.

Note: the number of LDAP port is 389 in default.

Step 6 - In the following step, we will set connection of checklist (Figure 6). Click on the dropdown menu, then we choose addrldalp.dll (arrow 1), and click on the Configure button (arrow 2).

Step 7 - The Directory Server Settings screen pops up (Figure 7). Set again the server name of LDAP (arrow 1), and LDAP port number as well (arrow 2). In order to log in the server (through LDAP) we need an account. Fill in login name (arrow 3), as well as password (arrow 4) belonging to this. Below the searching section, you can set, which range or server you ask the datas from.

We finished testing on Windows 2003 and Linux too, which had an ACTIVE DIRECTORY service. The server name was win.ozeki.hu. At LDAP searching, we set the same server and it refers to dc=ozeki, dc=hu. So, if we would like to set to own server, than it is very important to parallel DNS address of server (arrow 1) with address (arrow 5).

In the textbook (arrow 6) we have a possibility to set the maximal period of the searching second. In the textbook (arrow 7) we can limit the number of a searching goals.

Step 8 - At previous steps we finished the sync of the Message Server and LDAP (Figure 8).

Click on the addressbook (arrow 1) and we write the name of a searched person in the window pop up newly. After this we click on the Find button (arrow 3).

Step 9 - In the following window it has already been seeming the result of the searching. If we found the name of the searched person (arrow 1 ), we would place a checkmark in the checkbox of the name, and click on the Continue button (arrow 2). The message composer window is going to appear with a suitable telephone number filled in. We have to enter the message (Figure 9).
