LDAP Channel Store Syntax

If channel definitions and subscriber definitions are maintained in an LDAP directory, then the syntax for the CHANNEL_STORE property is as follows:

LDAP://hostname:port/dn?attributes?scope?filter?bindname=bindname, password=password; Where:

hostname

name of LDAP server that contains channel information. HOSTNAME must be DNS name or IP address of a host that is running an LDAP server. If HOSTNAME is left blank or is not specified, the macro variable LDAP_HOST is used. If this too is blank or not defined, the LDAP host is assumed to be the host that is running the application that placed the CALL.

Port

TCP port of the LDAP server. If zero or not specified, the macro variable or environment variable LDAP_PORT is used. If this too is blank or not defined, the standard port of 389 is used.

dn

distinguished name is the base object that specifies the point in the LDAP tree where the channel search is to begin. If this value is blank, the macro variable or environment variable LDAP_BASE is used for the definition of the base.

bindname

base distinguished name used to bind to the server. When specifying the bindname on the LDAP store information string, any commas or question marks that are contained within the bindname must be replaced with their ASCII hexadecimal equivalents. The format of the ASCII hexadecimal equivalent consists of a percent sign followed by the ASCII hexadecimal value of the character. For example, if the bindname contains commas, replace the commas as shown:

   bindname=cn=John Smith%2c o=Alphalite Airways%2c 
      c=US, password=JSmith3

password

password used to bind to the server.
