Setting up LDAP Server

If the information for an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server is registered in the machine, you can search for e-mail addresses and fax numbers via the LDAP server. E-mail addresses and fax numbers obtained via the server can be specified as destinations or stored in the Address Book.
NOTE
The following types of LDAP servers can be used with this machine:
Windows 2000 Server with Active Directory
Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory
Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory
Lotus Notes R5 to R8
For more information, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
You can register up to five LDAP servers.

Registering LDAP Server

Specify the relevant information for the LDAP server, such as the server name and address.
1
Press  (Additional Functions) → [System Settings].
2
Press [] or [] until [Register LDAP Server] appears → press [Register LDAP Server].
3
Press [Register].
4
Specify the LDAP server information.
1
Press [Server] → enter a server name → press [OK].
2
Press [Server Address] → enter the server’s address → press [OK].
NOTE:
If <Login Information> is set to ‘Use (security authent.)’ 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.
3
Press [Location to Start Search] → enter the location to start searching → press [OK].
Enter the location to start searching according to the type of LDAP server you are using, or as described below. You can leave this field blank.
NOTE:
If you are using Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory:
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 R5 or later:
Enter the dn (Distinguished Name) of the node on the directory tree, such as “ou=team1”, “ou=salesdept”, “o=canon”, or “c=jp”.
If the server’s LDAP version is 3, you do not have to specify [Location to Start Search]. (If the LDAP version is 3, the machine automatically retrieves settings from the server, and sets the location to start searching.) If the server’s LDAP version is 2, you have to specify [Location to Start Search].
5
Press [Next].
6
Press [Port Number] → enter a port number using - (numeric keys).
7
Press [Max. No. of Addresses] → enter the maximum number of addresses to search using - (numeric keys).
8
Press [Search Timeout] → enter the timeout time, in seconds, using - (numeric keys).
IMPORTANT:
Depending on the conditions such as authentication methods you are using, the timeout time may be shorter than designated.
9
Press [Next].
10
Select [Do not use], [Use], or [Use (security authent.)] for <Login Information>.
NOTE:
[Use (security authent.)] can be selected only if the LDAP server is running on Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory.
If you entered an IP address in step 4, and Reverse DNS Lookup (a function that looks up the host name from the IP address) is not supported, select either [Do not use] or [Use].
If <Login Information> is set to ‘Use (security authent.)’, and if Date & Time Settings in Timer Settings (from the Additional Functions screen) is different from the time settings on the LDAP server, the machine may not be able to connect to the LDAP server.
If [Do not use] is selected:
1
Select the Server LDAP version and character code → press [OK].
Select the LDAP version and character code according to the LDAP server’s environment.
If [Use] is selected:
1
Select the LDAP version and character code according to the LDAP server’s environment → press [Next].

Press [User] → enter the user name according to the type of LDAP server you are using → press [OK].
NOTE:
If you are using Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008 with Active Directory:
Press [User] → enter “Windows domain name/Windows user name”.
Example: If <team1> is the Windows domain name, and <user1> is the Windows user name: team1/user1
If you are using Lotus Notes Domino R5 or later:
Press [User] → enter the dn (Distinguished Name) of the user, such as “cn=admin”, “ou=team1”, or “ou=salesdept”.
