LDAP and Digital Sending settings

Here is one that has been a pain to setup, digital sending using the Active Directory for mail addresses.

To set this up, open the web front end, go into the Digital Sending tab and then into the Addressing option on the sidebar.

The settings are as follows:

'Allow Device to directly access an LDAP Address Book' = Checked.

Accessing the LDAP Server:
'LDAP Server Bind Method' = Simple
'Use Public Credentials'
Username: -AccountwithreadrightstoLDAP-
Password: -password-
'LDAP Server' = -ADDomainController-
'Port' = Either 389 for LDAP or if the server is a Global Catalog you can use 3268

Searching The Database:
'Search Root': dc=mydomain, dc=com (split your domain into sections seperated by the dot and then add dc= to the start and , to the end)
'Device user information retrieval'= Custom
'Match the name entered with the LDAP attribute of' = We use 'cn' for the container of the user to match the name against
'Retrieve the recipients email address using attribute of' = mail (the mail attribute specifies the E-mail address)
