I would suggest you use a ldap browser to find the root of your searches, i use softerra, you enter ip address port and user name and password and it should resolve what you need.

And after creating this external ldap, don't forget to activate the system option 'use external LDAP overflow' and connect the LDAP to one or more entities.
Otherwise the users will not be able to search the overflow directory at all.

Have you done what freedom told you to do? If you have when you do a search if the name is found in the internal and also the LDAP you should get a phone book on your handset to do the extra search. You should also get an alarm within incvisu indicating that you have in facted connected to the ldap phone book if configured correctly

Did you change the Entity parameter to search on your LDAP?
