LDAP directory
Add any LDAP directory as a data source to XPhone Connect Directory.
Requirements
XPhone Connect Directory uses an internal index. The index must query all of the information on all entries in accordance with the configuration parameters, search basis and filters. The LDAP directory to be connected must be configured in such a way that it does not supply any Exceeded number of hits error message. It must be ensured that all of the entries can be queried.
