| 5 | 1 | Jörg Ebeling | An LDAP to CardDav (1 way read) Phone Book Gateway for modern (business) phones. |
| 6 | |||
| 7 | ## Use case |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Most modern (business) voice phones have the capability to do comfortable LDAP directory look-up like: |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | - Directory search by alphabet letters |
||
| 12 | - Reverse lookup for inbound calls |
||
| 13 | - Reverse lookup by entering parts or the phone number |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Unfortunately, most of the 'smaller' companies (i guess companies beyond 100 employee) don't have an 'enterprise' LDAP directory, much less than private persons. |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | Most of such companies do have something like a cloud address book, often based on WebDAV / CardDAV (i.e. Nextcloud, Ownlcoud, ...). |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | This is, where this Gateway might make your live easier (hopefully). |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | If this program get started on some kind of hardware (Windows, Mac, Linux, ???), it will do the following: |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 6 | Jörg Ebeling | 1. Answer on LDAP requests from your voice phone(s) |
| 24 | 2. Ask your CardDAV (Nextcloud, Owncloud, ...) Server for the LDAP requested phone book entry |
||
| 25 | 3. Return the CardDAV query results, back as LDAP results to your phone. |

| 29 | ## Features |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 7 | Jörg Ebeling | - Query your CardDAV address book(s) by entering the alphabetic letters (or parts of the telephone number) in you (LDAP capable) (business) phone (and dial one of the matching numbers). |
| 32 | - Reverse lookup inbound calls and display matching contact information on the phone. |
||
| 33 | - Work with local (non- E.164) formatted CardDAV entered phone numbers like: '040-123456' or '001 807 1234567' as well as '+49 (0)40 1234567-8'. |
||
| 34 | - Alphabetic search requests get queried live (without a caching layer or sync delay). This might get changed or optionally enhanced in future, once I do have some experience with different CardDAV Server and larger (+1000 CardDAV) address books. |
||
| 35 | - Reverse lookup on phone numbers, depend on a tiny caching layer and thus a (configurable) sync interval. |
