eCopy Connector for Fax via Microsoft Exchange

LDAP/EWS

No

EWS along with LDAP is recommended when your company employs a number of people, uses multiple Exchange servers, and you want to take advantage of the service URL autodiscover feature (administrator do not need to reconfigure ShareScan when the Exchange infrastructure is changed).

You can restrict LDAP queries with profile settings for the organizational unit which uses a particular scanning device; queries are executed faster, and result lists are considerably shorter. Our LDAP protocol implementation autodetects the Global Catalog server, and supports SSL communication as well. EWS also supports cross domain setups, so can be used when ShareScan and the target Exchange server exist within separate domains.

EWS/EWS

No

Recommended when the ShareScan Manager works outside of Active Directory domains (can be used within the domain as well), and simple firewall setup is a requirement. Also the best choice when your Exchange server is hosted in a Datacenter, and you want to access that via HTTPS.

EWS (Exchange Web Services) is based on SOAP/HTTPS, which transfers request and responses via TCP 443 port. EWS supports service URL autodiscovery, making it advantageous in environments where service endpoints change frequently.

Search user names

Setting this combo box controls how the client side Authentication form manages the logon information:

• Search while typing: The list of user names is queried as the user enters characters into the User name text box.
• Search on demand: The query for the user names based on the entered few characters runs when the button with magnifier is pressed.
• Disable search: The user is expected to enter the full user name, password and domain at client side.

The Global Address book provider runs the query for the hints. The method of searching depends on the provider.

Note that this function is only supported when using EWS protocol.
