Keeping a separate contact list in sync with your company directory is tedious and error-prone. LDAP integration brings Active Directory or OpenLDAP into SMSEagle directly, so your phonebook is read live from the directory, or synced on a schedule you choose.
The LDAP integration takes contacts straight from Active Directory, so every change in the directory applies in SMSEagle right away.
With LDAP sign-in that can’t happen: access to SMSEagle goes away together with the company account.
Active Directory suggestions appear automatically in Compose as you type a recipient’s name or number.
Choose which Active Directory field holds the phone number, so the right number shows up for every contact.
Store directory contacts on the device, so lookups keep working even if the directory is unreachable.
Everything set up once
Connection details, directory structure, attributes, and security all live on one settings page, no jumping between menus to get directory sync working.
Know it works before you rely on it
Fill in your AD or OpenLDAP server details, save your changes, then test the connection, so the connection is confirmed before anyone searches for a contact.
Switch on, save, test
Turn on Enable LDAP Integration, fill in one settings page, save and test, and directory contacts and groups are ready to use across SMSEagle.
The right number, every time
Point SMSEagle at the correct Active Directory field so the number shown for every contact is always the right one, with security settings to match your environment.
Stop retyping numbers
Once synced, Active Directory contacts and groups appear automatically while typing in Compose. You can also let people sign in to SMSEagle with their directory account.
SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway
SMSEagle combines hardware and software into a single, self-contained gateway. It is designed for critical environments, so security is built in from the ground up, confirmed by CE, FCC, ISED, UKCA, PTCRB, RCM, IMDA, TDRA, CB Scheme, GCF, carrier certifications (Verizon, AT&T) and ISO 27001.
SMSEagle connects to Active Directory or OpenLDAP, reads contacts and groups, and shows them as suggestions in Compose.
Yes, optionally. Set up admin and user groups in your directory and enable LDAP authentication.
In Compose, as you type a recipient’s name or number.
Active Directory and OpenLDAP. Contacts can be fetched live from the directory, or stored offline on the device so lookups keep working even if the directory is unreachable.
LDAP is a built-in feature available on all current SMSEagle hardware SMS gateways.
