Configuring Corporate Directories

Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of Cisco Unified

resources that a user is permitted to use, such as a specific phone extension.
For more information, go to
