Re: Filtered proxy to Active Directory

We have Panasonic KX-UTG300B phones (SIP phone) which has LDAP Phonebook option.



Settings on the phone to make this work are simple:



LDAP Server Address:

LDAP Server Port:

LDAP Authentication ID:

LDAP Authentication Password:

LDAP Search Base:



When I go to LDAP address book on the phone I get thousands of entries listing
not only users with their phone number but also all other entries like
resources, empty lines(???), N/A, Distribution lists …. Etc. in short probably
everything.

Sounds like quite a stupid phone; they probably expected you to point the search base at an "ou=people" folder that doesn't contain any other types of entries.

There is no way I can set up a filter to filter users only that have phone
number set in AD.



What I need is LDAP proxy server which will be queried by our phones instead
of querying AD Server directly and return filtered list (example: just entries
containing information in  “telephoneNumber” attribute)



Is this possible? I’ve been trying for weeks now with no success.

I'm not aware of any existing modules that do what you want. But it would be a trivially small piece of overlay code to write.

Please someone, send me sample ldap.conf and slapd.conf configuration files





Thanks
