LDAP Cache
You can configure the following parameters in the LDAP Cache section when you define or modify an LDAP:
Search Scope: The LDAP search scope indicates the set of entries at or below the base search DN that
can be considered potential matches for a search operation.
There are three search scope values:
• base (search the object itself): This specifies that the search should only be
performed against the entry specified as the base search DN. No entries below it will
be considered. Use this option if the base search DN is close to the data to be searched
for, because this way desired data can be found quickly.
• one level (search the object’s immediate children): This specifies that the
search operation should only be performed against entries that are immediate
subordinates of the entry specified as the base search DN. Neither the base entry
itself nor the entries below the immediate subordinates of the search base entry are
included.
• subtree (search the object and all its descendants): This specifies that the
search operation should be performed against the base search DN itself and all of
its subordinates.
Max. No Search Results: This value specifies the maximum number of search results to be returned by the LDAP
server. The default value is 100. A value of 0 indicates that the results are returned
unlimitedly.
If the value is too small, not all addresses stored in the LDAP database will be considered
for routing; that is, the excess entries will be considered non-existent.
Server Address: Enter the IP address of the Active Directory server. This entry is mandatory, because
Diva SIPcontrol does not use a default server.
You can enter the server address either as an IP address or as an FQDN, e.g.,
11.11.11.11 or ldap.dialogic.com.
It is possible to configure multiple servers for an LDAP query. In this case, SIPcontrol
will use the second server if the first one fails.
Server Port: Enter the port to which the server is listening. The default value is 389. If you set the
port to 0, Diva SIPcontrol will select a port automatically.
If you use an indexed database, such as Microsoft
®
Active Directory, set the port to
3268 to speed up LDAP queries.
User Name: Enter a user name. This can be a DN, UPN (User Principal Name, e.g.,
another name that the directory server will accept as an identifier.
In some cases, it is possible to connect to an LDAP server without a user name and
password. If it is not possible, you can create a dummy user for this gateway task.
Password: Enter a password for the user account.
Note: Diva SIPcontrol currently supports Simple authentication, which means that the
password is transmitted in clear text over the network. The password also is stored and
processed locally in clear text.
It is recommended that you use a separate user account with restricted permissions
for Diva SIPcontrol access.
Max. Entries The maximum amount of entries in the cache, which is the maximum number of entries
retrieved from the LDAP server. Note that if the value is to small, some LDAP entries
will not be resolved.
Default is 100.
