[cisco-voip] IP Phone SDK: LDAPSearch Active Directory Root

[Chris Ward]

As a test to see if referrals are the problem, you can point the search to
your AD Global Catalog server and use port 3268. The GC eliminates the need
for referrals.

Can you get a packet capture of the failing search?  Searching the root of a
Win2k3 AD will cause you to get 3 referrals that must be followed to
complete the search.  The referrals will be for domaindnszones.domain.com,
forestdnszones.domain.com, and the configuration container of domain.com.
 If any of those DNS searches fail, or return invalid hosts, then this can
cause problems.

This is all based on experience working with CCM ldap integration.  The sdk
ldap stuff may behave differently.

LDAPSearch Active Directory Root
 
I am trying to use the localizeddirectory.asp service with my cisco IP
Phones. 
 
 It does work but I cannot figure out how to specify my LDAP Search base as
the whole Active Directory.
 
 I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain. The root of the domain is
"DC=schools,DC=org"
 
 I have an OU called administration.
 
 If I set the code to point to "OU=Administration,DC=schools,DC=org" I can
search all users in the Administration OU and return phone numbers. It
works. 
 
 I try setting the LDAP search base to a more general path
"DC=schools,DC=org" so I can search all of my organization but it returns a
500 internal server error.
 
 Can you use the root of a windows 2003 Active Directory domain as the
search base for the LDAPSearch.dll version 3?
 
 Thanks
 
Erik
