Registering LDAP Servers (MF8580Cdw / MF8280Cw Only)
 |
|
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.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
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.
