LDAP

Bring your Active Directory contacts straight into SMSEagle

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.

Phone numbers stay up to date on their own

Choose which Active Directory field holds the phone number, so the right number shows up for every contact.

Contacts stay available if the directory server fails
