LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a client-server protocol for managing related information from a centralized location through the use of a file and directory hierarchy. In other words, it is a protocol for accessing a directory service.
LDAP is used as a phonebook on Yeastar S-Series PBX and Yeastar Cloud PBX so that you can search a keyword from your IP phone. It is an easy and sophisticated solution based on LDAP services available, fulfilling the requirement of searching through a phone directory quickly. LDAP Server provides centralized phone book management, which makes phone book management easy and intuitive. You can set up S-Series VoIP PBX and Yeastar Cloud PBX as a server. Once the LDAP is set up, you can search the LDAP directory and look up contacts on your IP phone.
For example, you can search name, email, and telephone, such as “Yeastar”, and it will return all the contacts containing Yeastar.
The LDAP information model is based on entries.
An entry is a collection of attributes that has a globally-unique Distinguished Name (DN). The DN is used to refer to the entry unambiguously. Each of the entry’s attributes has a type and one or more values. The types are typically mnemonic strings, like “cn” for common name, or “mail” for the email address. The syntax of values depends on the attribute type. For example, a cn attribute might contain the value “Babs Jensen”. A mail attribute might contain the value “[email protected]”.
Yeastar LDAP phonebook options include phonebook name, first name, last name, nickname, department, office number, mobile number, home number, and email.

LDAP Server is an App in S-Series VoIP PBX App Center. So you can install, uninstall, and upgrade LDAP Server in App Center. After installing LDAP Server App on S-Series PBX, follow the below instruction.
