PaperCut NG supports the following LDAP server types out-of-the-box:
Novell eDirectory
Microsoft Active Directory
Unix/NIS/Posix
and basic configuration options for these platforms/environments are discussed at the section called “Using LDAP for user synchronization”.
However, other server/schema types can be supported by defining the fields to query and the LDAP searches to perform. These options are configured by adjusting config entries in the Config Editor, which can be opened from the Options tab. The following config items are available:
Config name | Description |
---|---|
ldap.schema.user-name-field | The LDAP field that contains the user's username. |
ldap.schema.user-full-name-field | The LDAP field that contains the user's full name. |

ldap.schema.user-department-field | The LDAP field that contains the user's department. |
