Registering LDAP Servers
 | If an LDAP server is implemented in the network, you can search the server for fax numbers or e-mail addresses, and then specify them as destinations or register them in the Address Book. You can register a maximum of five LDAP servers to the machine. Register LDAP servers via the Remote UI. |
 |
LDAP servers that are supported by the machine are Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Server 2012 Active Directory. The machine communicates with LDAP servers using LDAPv3. UTF-8 is the supported character encoding used when the text data is transmitted between the machine and an LDAP server. |

If the IP address is entered for [Server Address], check whether the DNS server supports only forward lookup. If the server supports only forward lookup, select [Do Not Use] or [Use] for [Login Information]. If you select [Use (Security Authentication)], make sure that the DNS server supports reverse lookup.
