LDAP Directory
The BluStar 8000i is able to use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server for reading directories over an IP
network. Your system administrator can allow you to edit your own LDAP directory configuration settings, which will over-
ride the configuration coming from the configuration server. You can also configure whether to display both the global
and LDAP directories on your BluStar 8000i or just the LDAP directory.
The LDAP directory has two sets of settings: Server and User. Server settings are set by the administrator. User settings are
configured by the user in the tools menu on the BluStar 8000i UI.
