While configuration terminology and format will vary, these can be used to configure most LDAP directory clients.

• Server:
  • Hostname:

    dir.hamshackhotline.com

  • URL:

    ldap://dir.hamshackhotline.com/

• LDAP Version: 3
• Use SSL: No - we do not support LDAPS, SSL, TLS, or StartTLS
• Authentication/Bind
  • Authentication is not required. If given the option, choose None or No or Anonymous Bind.
  • If asked for Bind DN/User and/or Bind Password, both should be left blank.
• Search Base DN:

  ou=phonebook,dc=hamshackhotline,dc=com

• Scope: sub
• Search Filter
  • Some configurations, e.g. Cisco, only ask for attributes and build the filter for you.
  • Some configurations, e.g. Snom, ask for a specially formatted search filter
    • This is only an example:

      (|(givenName=%)(callsign=%)(l=%))

• These attributes are searchable and can be used in an LDAP Filter
  • name
  • givenName
  • callsign
  • cn - includes name and callsign
  • l - city (this is a lower case L)
  • st - state/province
  • c - country
  • telephoneNumber
• These attributes are useful for the response
  • telephoneNumber
  • displayName - matches closely to HH Caller ID
