(Settings/Registration).
2.
Press [Set Destination] → [Register LDAP Server] → [Register].
3.
Specify each setting → press [Next].
[Server Name]:
Enter a server name → press [OK].
[Server Address]:
Press [Server Address] → enter the server's address → press [OK].
[Position to Start Search]:
Press [Position to Start Search] → enter the location to start searching → press [OK].
If the LDAP server is version 3, then you do not have to specify [Position to Start Search]. (If the LDAP server is version 3, the machine automatically retrieves settings from the server, and sets the location to start searching.) If the LDAP server is version 2, you have to specify [Position to Start Search].
Enter the location to start searching according to the type of LDAP server you are using, or as described below.
If you are using Windows Server:
Add "DC=" to each dot separated series of characters in the Active Directory domain name, and separate each series of characters by a comma.
Example: If <team1.salesdept.canon.co.jp> is the domain name in Active Directory:
DC=team1, DC=salesdept, DC=canon, DC=co, DC=jp
If you are using Lotus Notes Domino:
Enter the dn (Distinguished Name) of the node on the directory tree, such as "ou=team1", "ou=salesdept", "o=canon", or "c=jp".
<Use TLS>:
If you want to use TLS, select [On] for <Use TLS>.
<Port Number>: |
Press ![](./images/book_images/b_lips_square.jpg) for Port Number → enter a port number using ![](./images/book_images/b_in_0.jpg) - ![](./images/book_images/b_in_9.jpg) (numeric keys). |
<Max Addresses to Search>: |
Press ![](./images/book_images/b_lips_square.jpg) for Max Addresses to Search → enter the maximum number of addresses to search using ![](./images/book_images/b_in_0.jpg) - ![](./images/book_images/b_in_9.jpg) (numeric keys). |
<Search Timeout>: |
Press ![](./images/book_images/b_lips_square.jpg) for Search Timeout → enter the timeout time, in seconds, using ![](./images/book_images/b_in_0.jpg) - ![](./images/book_images/b_in_9.jpg) (numeric keys). |
IMPORTANT |
If you select [Use (Security Auth.)] for <Authentication Information> for the LDAP server and Reverse DNS Lookup (a function that looks up the host name from the IP address) is not supported, enter a host name instead of an IP address. |
4.
Select the items for the <Authentication Information> → press [OK] → [Close].
IMPORTANT |
You can only select [Use (Security Auth.)] next to <Authentication Information> if the LDAP server is running on Windows Server. If you entered an IP address in step 3, and Reverse DNS Lookup (a function that looks up the host name from the IP address) is not supported, select either [Use] or [Do Not Use]. If you select [Use (Security Auth.)] for <Authentication Information>, and the [Date/Time Settings] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration) are different from the time settings on the LDAP server, the machine may not be able to connect to the LDAP server. |
If you select [Do Not Use]:
Press [Do Not Use].
Select an item for <LDAP Server Version and Character Code> → press [OK].
Set <LDAP Server Version and Character Code> according to the LDAP server's environment.
If you select [Use]:

Enter the user name according to the type of LDAP server you are using.

Example: If <team1> is the Windows domain name, and <user1> is the Windows user name:
team1/user1
If you are using Lotus Notes Domino:
Press [User Name] → enter the dn (Distinguished Name) of the user, such as "cn=admin", "ou=team1", or "ou=salesdept".
[Password]:
Press [Password] → enter a password → press [OK].
Press [Confirm] → enter the password again for confirmation → press [OK].
After pressing [OK], the password that you entered appears as asterisks (********) on the password entry screen.
