User Manual

Configure the Settings for the LDAP Server
Introduction
If the scan-to-email function is enabled, a list of user codes and matching email addresses is
required. When a user enters his/her unique code on the control panel, the scan job will be sent
to the matching email address.
The list of user codes and matching email addresses can be available at the following places:
• On an LDAP server, if available
• If an LDAP server is unavailable, in an address list file (default name: ral.csv), which must be
uploaded to the PRISMAsync controller through the Settings Editor ([Configuration] ->
[Connectivity]).
When a user enters the user code, the system will first look for a matching email address in the
LDAP database. When the system does not find a matching email address there, or when an
LDAP server is not available, the system will search the address list file (ral.csv) for the matching
email address.
How to Configure the Settings for the LDAP Server
The table below describes the settings that the system administrator must configure in the
