Verifying that LDAP is enabled

This topic explains how to verify that public LAN access to the LDAP directory is enabled on your Avaya™ S3400 Message Server.

Security Risk! If you enable LDAP directory access, email addresses of each subscriber are viewable. Therefore, Avaya recommends that you administer LDAP for use only behind a corporate firewall, and that access to the LDAP port be blocked from external users.

To verify that public LAN access to the LDAP directory is enabled:

1. Start at the Messaging Administration main menu and select:

Feature Administration
     Internet Messaging
          General Options and Settings

The system displays the General Options and Settings page. The status of the LDAP directory is displayed in the LDAP enabled? field. If the field is set to Yes, public LAN access to the LDAP directory is enabled. If it is set to No, it is not enabled.

2. To enable public LAN access to the LDAP directory, click the Yes radio button in the LDAP enabled? field.
3. Click Submit.

Your selection is then registered with the system.

4. If your subscribers will be using the S3400 in conjunction with email client applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Express, for "by name" addressing, continue with Accessing the LDAP address directory.

5. If you are done administering the LDAP directory, click Return to Main to return to the Messaging Administration main menu.
