Edit Credentials of Your LDAP Directory
When you access the LDAP directory on the phone, you might be prompted to enter your user credentials.
You can edit the credentials in advance to bypass the sign-in procedure. You can also change the LDAP
account by editing the user credentials.
The phone saves the credentials for different types of users. For example, the users who sign into the phone
with the Flexible Seating or Extension Mobility feature. After you switch a user on the phone, the phone
retains the user's credentials. Therefore, you can still access the LDAP directory without the need to sign in.
