4.5 Preferences – Directory

If your organization has an LDAP or Active Directory server, you can configure Bria to connect to that server.
The entries from the directory will appear in the Directory tab (alongside the Contacts and History tabs).

If your users use both Bria for Windows and Bria for Mac, you can deploy a directory using LDAP. If your users
use only Bria for Windows, you can deploy a directory using LDAP or Active Directory.

In Directory Type, select the desired option. Other fields appears; see below.

Description

Server Settings

Server

The hostname or IP address of the directory server. For example, ldap.example.com.

Authentication method

Anonymous or Simple.

Choose Simple if your LDAP server requires a valid login in order to allow binding and searching
the directory.

Username

The full DN of the username that will be used for authenticating to the directory.

For example:

CN=ldapauthuser,OU=users,OU=company,DC=example,DC=com

Leave blank if Authentication is set to Anonymous.

Credential

The password for the username. Leave blank if Authentication is Anonymous.

Root DN

The “base” DN of the server where searches will begin. The entire subtree under the Root DN will
be used for searching. For example:

OU=users, OU=company, DC=example,DC=com

Search expression

The query used to filter valid users in the directory. This query can be used to retrieve only
members of a group, for example. For example:

(memberOf=CN=Corporate Users, Ou=Groups, OU=company, DC=example,DC=com)
