The LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory is used
as the primary storage location for Avaya™ S3400 Message
Server subscriber names, email addresses, extensions, and other
data. There are two types of LAN access to the LDAP directory data:
private LAN and public LAN access.
Private LAN access
Private LAN access to the LDAP directory is always enabled on the
S3400. The Messaging Application Server (MAS) uses the private
LAN to access the LDAP directory information on the Message Storage
Server (MSS). You cannot enable or disable this type of access.
Public LAN access
Public LAN access to the LDAP directory can be enabled or disabled.
You can enable public LAN access to the directory if your subscribers
will be using the S3400 in conjunction with email client applications,
such as Microsoft Outlook and Express, for "by name" addressing
or if you are using subscriber management products such as Mailbox
Manager or Avaya's ProVision software. Email client applications
have only read permissions to a limited amount of directory data
while products such as Mailbox Manger or ProVision have read/write
permissions to the directory data.
For instructions on how to verify if public LAN access is enabled
on your S3400, see Verifying that LDAP is
enabled.
Before your subscribers can take advantage of "by name"
addressing, you must first administer and test Email (Internet Messaging).
For more information, see Email (Internet
Messaging). After Email (Internet Messaging) has been administered
and tested and you have verified that public LAN access to the LDAP
directory is enabled on your S3400, you can notify your subscribers
that they can administer their external email client applications
to access the LDAP directory for "by name" addressing.
For more information, see Accessing the LDAP
address directory.
