Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G and 7911G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1
OL-14585-01
The Directories menu on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G gives
users access to several directories. These directories can include:
Corporate Directory—Allows a user to look up phone numbers for
•
co-workers.
To support this feature, you must configure corporate directories. See the
"Configuring Corporate Directories" section on page 5-21
information.
• Personal Directory—Allows a user to store a set of personal numbers.
To support this feature, you must provide the user with software to configure
the personal directory. See the
page 5-22 for more information.
After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate
Directory service on your Cisco Unified IP Phone to look up users in the
corporate directory.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information
about users of Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications that
interface with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Authentication
establishes a user's right to access the system. Authorization identifies the
telephony resources that a user is permitted to use, such as a specific telephone
extension.
To install and set up these features, refer to Installing and Configuring the
Cisco Customer Directory Configuration Plugin. That manual guides you through
the configuration process for integrating Cisco Unified Communications
Manager with Microsoft Active Directory and Netscape Directory Server.
After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate
Directory service on their Cisco Unified IP Phone to look up users in the
corporate directory.
