GS Tutorials - UCM: LDAP Sync

Hey there Grandstreamers! We have a little treat for you today that comes packaged with all of our UCM6xxx series. In this tutorial we're going to talk about LDAP and LDAP Sync.

LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol which is a client/server protocol used to access and manage directory information. It reads and edits directories over IP networks and runs directly over TCP/IP using simple string formats for data transfer. Just as a database management system which is used to process queries and updates to a database, the UCM6xxx acts as an LDAP server for users to manage the corporate phonebook in a centralized manner.

The LDAP information model is based on entries. An entry is a collection of attributes that has a globally-unique Distinguished Name(DN). The DN is used to refer to the entry. Each of the entry's attributes has a type and one or more values. The types are typically mnemonic strings, like "cn" for Common Name, or "mail" for Email Address. The syntax of values depends on the attribute type.

The UCM built-in LDAP server provides corporate directory to IP Phones using one or multiple phonebooks. UCM6xxxoffers also “Sync LDAP directory”feature allowingto synchronize LDAP directories between other UCMs for SIP peer trunksto have a centralized phonebook directory between all UCM branches.
