LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol used to process queries and updates to an 
information directory, also known as an LDAP directory, stored on an external server. LDAP directories 
are heavily optimized for read performance. Use this page to define how the printer retrieves user 
information from an LDAP directory.
Configuring LDAP/LDAPS Server Settings
1.
In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > LDAP > LDAP 
Server
.
2.
Under Server Information, type the appropriately formatted main and backup LDAP server 
addresses and port numbers. The default port number is 389.
Optional Information
1.
Type the search directory root path in the Search Directory Root field by using the Base DN 
format.
Note:
For details on Base DN formatting, refer to the 
RFC 2849 - LDAP Data Interchange Format 
(LDIF) Technical Specification on the IETF website.
2.
Type Login Name and Password, as needed. Retype the password to confirm.

those LDAP servers in your searches.

Defining User Mappings
LDAP servers provide different results to search queries depending on how user data is mapped. Editing 
the mapping allows you to fine-tune server search results.
1.
In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > LDAP > LDAP User 
Mappings
.
2.
To send a test query, under Search, type the name of the user you want to search for in the User 
Name
 field, then click Search.
If a match occurs, the user information is displayed.
3.
Use the drop-down menus under Imported Heading to remap fields as needed.
Note:
Headings are defined by the LDAP server’s schema.
