Chapter 7 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users

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
Communications Manager applications that interface with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Authentication establishes the users' rights 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 the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Guide, LDAP System Configuration, LDAP Directory Configuration, and LDAP Authentication
Configuration chapters. That manual guides you through the configuration process for integrating Cisco
Unified Communications Manager with Microsoft Active Directory, Sun ONE Directory, Netscape
Directory, and iPlanet Directory Server.
After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate Directory service on
your Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G to look up users in the corporate directory.
