LDAP Server

You can specify e-mail addresses and fax numbers by searching the directory listings on the network using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers. E-mail addresses and fax numbers obtained via the server can be specified as destinations or stored in the Address Book.
IMPORTANT
If the Language Switch setting is set to ‘On’, some characters are restricted and cannot be entered. To enter all characters, set the Language Switch setting to ‘Off’. (Configuring the Machine's Basic Settings)
You may have to set up the LDAP servers beforehand, depending on the network environment.
If you want to specify or register destinations via an LDAP server, the LDAP server settings must be specified in the machine beforehand. (Setting up the Machine for Your Network Environment)
NOTE
The information that can be obtained through the LDAP server varies, as follows:
If only the Send function (optional for the imageRUNNER 2525/2520) is activated: Names and e-mail addresses
If only the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 is attached to the machine: Names and fax numbers
If both the Send function (optional for the imageRUNNER 2525/2520) is activated and the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 is attached to the machine: Names, e-mail addresses, and fax numbers
You cannot directly specify a destination that is obtained via a server as a forwarding destination. To specify the destination as a forwarding destination, you must first store it in the Address Book. (Registering Addresses Obtained via an LDAP Server)

Specifying Addresses via an LDAP Server

Follow this procedure to specify the destinations via an LDAP server.
1
Press (SEND) → [Network Add. Book].
2
Press the Server to Search drop-down list → select the desired server to search.
3

To use Simple Search:
1
Select [Name], [E-mail], or [Fax].
2
Enter the name, e-mail address, or fax number → press [OK].
The search criteria boxes that are not filled out, are not searched.

Search by organization unit (e.g., departments in an organization).
For example, if cn(common name)=user1, ou(organization unit)=salesdept, o(organization)=canon, c(country)=jp is the distinguished name in the directory, enter [Organization]/[Org. Unit] of the user as follows:
[Organization]=canon
[Org. Unit]=salesdept
NOTE:
[Oganization]/[Org. Unit] can be used as search categories only if the information has been registered on the LDAP Server.
Detailed Search by [Oganization]/[Org. Unit] may not be performed, depending on whether the attribute types have been registered on the LDAP server and depending on the type of application on the server.
You can also add additional user-defined search attributes. For instructions on how to register or edit a search attribute, see Setting up the Machine for Your Network Environment.

[equals]:
The result must be exactly the same as the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit.
[differs from]:
The result must be different from the entered name, e-mail address, fax number, organization, or organizational unit.

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.
If you press [Simple Search] → [Yes] after specifying search criteria on the Detailed Search screen, the display changes to the Simple Search screen and the specified detailed search criteria are deleted.

Press [Start Search].
To cancel searching while the machine is searching for your criteria, press [Cancel]. If the machine finds some results before you press [Cancel], these search results are displayed.
IMPORTANT:
Searching for a destination via an LDAP server is not possible if the time setting of the server and the time setting of the machine are more than five minutes apart. If you cannot send even when the user name and password are correct, check the time settings on the server and the machine.
The number of search results displayed will not exceed the maximum limit set in Register LDAP Server in System Settings. (Setting up the Machine for Your Network Environment) If the desired destination is not displayed, either increase the maximum number of addresses to search, or change the search criteria.
NOTE:
If you press [Start Search] without specifying any search criteria, all of the addresses stored on the LDAP server are displayed.
If the Enter Network Password screen is displayed, enter your user name and network password → press [OK].
The Enter Network Password screen is displayed if either one of the following is true:
If <Login Information> in Register LDAP Server in System Settings is set to ‘Use’ or ‘Use (security authent.)’, and <Display authentication screen> is set to ‘On’. (Setting up the Machine for Your Network Environment)
If the user name, password, and domain name specified in Register LDAP Server in System Settings are incorrect. (Setting up the Machine for Your Network Environment)

Select the desired destination from the search results → press [OK].
You can select up to 32 destinations.
If you press [Select e-mail for I-Fax], the selected e-mail address can be specified as an I-fax destination.
To continue searching, press [Back].
NOTE:
To cancel a selected destination, select the destination again to clear the check mark.
If both the Send function (optional for the imageRUNNER 2525/2520) is activated and the optional Super G3 Fax Board-AG1 is attached to the machine, you can sort and limit the view of the displayed addresses by using the Type drop-down list.
The destinations you can specify may vary depending on the settings under <Send Restriction Settings>. (Customizing Settings) For example, if E-mail Send is set to ‘Do not allow’ or ‘Only allow sending to own address’, e-mail addresses are not displayed as the search results.
If a fax number or I-fax address is specified as the destination, read the displayed message → press [OK].
