LDAP Custom Filters
You can edit custom filters so that text strings typed at the control panel are changed to match the
format that the LDAP server requires.
There are three types of filters that you can customize:
• LDAP Authentication Filter allows you to add text to the beginning or end of a User ID, or the
Login Name configured as the System Login Name for the server. Typical filters are
domain_name\USERID or USERID@domain_name.
• Email Address Book Filter allows you to customize the standard filter that is used when a user
types a name to search in the Network Address Book.
• User ID Query Filter allows you to customize the standard filter that the printer uses when
searching for the name of the logged-in user. For example, when remote authorization is
configured, and a user logs in at the control panel, the printer searches the authorization server
using this filter. The standard filter looks in the field mapped as the Login Name field. If you are
using an ADS LDAP server, this field is typically sAMAccountName. If you want a search for a
specific person to return an exact match, do not use wildcard characters.
Configuring Custom Filters
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.
2. Under Protocol, next to LDAP, click Edit.
3. Click the Custom Filters tab.
4. Under LDAP Authentication, select Prepend Domain Name. This setting prepends the base Domain
Name (DN) to a user Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) when authenticating the user. Use the
Common Name (CN) attribute to specify USERID in the base DN.
Notes:
• If Authenticated User is selected for Login Credentials to Access LDAP Server, some UNIX/Linux
LDAP servers can require setting the Prepend Domain Name attribute.
• For details on Base DN formatting, see the RFC 2849 - LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF)
Technical Specification on the IETF website.
5. Under Email Address Book Filter, select Enable Custom Filter.
6. Type the LDAP search string or filter as needed, where LDAP represents the string provided for the
query. The filter defines a series of conditions that the LDAP search must fulfill to return the desired
information. For example, to find people only, type (ObjectClass=Person)&(cn=LDAP*).
7. Under User ID Query Filter, select Enable Custom Filter.
8. Type the LDAP search string or filter where LDAP represents the string provided for the query. The
filter defines a series of conditions that the LDAP search must fulfill to return the desired
information. For example, to ensure that only a person is returned rather than equipment or
conference rooms, type (objectClass=user) (sAMAccountName=LDAP).
9. Click Apply.
