Search Base |
Directory location where searches will be based. We recommend using a narrow search base. The impact of the searches can be minimized by using a more specific search base. (e.g., "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" is better than "dc=example,dc=com"). |
Search Scope |
Depth of the search through the directory tree.
- Subtree: Searches all entries in and below the location specified in the search base.
- One Level: Only searches entries in the location specified in the search base and not any subdirectories.
|
Filter — Optional |
Filter added to all searches made by the devices against the directory server. We recommend using a narrow filter. Defining a filter like “(objectclass=person)” can significantly reduce search load in certain directory implementations. |
Display Name Attribute |
Attribute used as the name in results returned to the device in searches. Used for Cisco/Linksys SPA devices. For Polycom SoundPoint IP devices, the results are displayed [Last Name Attribute], [First Name Attribute]. |
First Name Attribute |
Attribute that contains the first name in the directory. Devices will also filter against this attribute in searches. |
Last Name Attribute |
Attribute that contains the last name in the directory. Devices will also filter against this attribute in searches. |
Phone Number Attributes |
A comma separated list of phone number attributes in the directory. In the case of Cisco/Linksys SPA devices, the first listed phone number is the only number that the device can directly dial. The rest are only displayed for informational purposes. |
