You have to specify the relevant information for the LDAP server, such as the server name and address.

1. Press (Additional Functions) → [System Settings] → [Register LDAP Server] → [Register].

2. Specify each setting → press [Next].

[Server Name]:

Enter a server name → press [OK].

[Server Address]:

Press [Server Address] → enter the server's address → press [OK].

[Location to Start Search]:

Press [Location to Start Search] → enter the location to start searching → press [OK].

If the server's LDAP version is 3, then 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].

Enter the location to start searching according to the type of LDAP server you are using, or as described below.

• If you are using Windows 2000 Server 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 Novell NetWare 5.1 (NDS) or later:
  Add the corresponding object class "o=", "ou=", or "c=" to each dot-separated series of characters that configure the distinguished name, and separate each series of characters by a comma.
  Example: If <TEAM1.SALESDEPT.CANON> is the distinguished name in NDS:
  ou=team1, ou=salesdept, o=canon

• 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".

  Press [User] → add the corresponding object class "o=", "ou=", or "c=" to each dot-separated series of characters that configure the distinguished name, and separate each series of characters by a comma.
  Example: If <user1.TEAM1.SALESDEPT.CANON> is the distinguished name in NDS:
  cn=user1, ou=team1, ou=salesdept, o=canon
