OL-11515-01
The Directories button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 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 5-11
information.
• Personal Directory feature of Cisco Unified CallManager—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 5-12 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 CallManager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information about
users of Cisco Unified CallManager applications that interface with
Cisco Unified CallManager. 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 CallManager with
Microsoft Active Directory and Netscape Directory Server.
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.
