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 5-15 for more information.
Cisco CallManager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of
Cisco CallManager applications that interface with Cisco CallManager.
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 Installing and Configuring the
Cisco Customer Directory Configuration Plugin document. That manual guides
you through the configuration process for integrating Cisco 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 IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and
7941G/7941G-GE to look up users in the corporate directory.
Personal Directory provides a personal address book stored in the
Cisco CallManager Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory. It
also provides a Cisco IP phone synchronizer, and two Cisco IP phone services,
Personal Address Book and Personal Fast Dials. The Cisco IP Phone Address
Book Synchronizer allows users to synchronize Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express address book entries with the directory in Cisco CallManager. From a
Cisco IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE, a user can use the
Personal Address Book service to look up entries, make a selection, and press a
softkey to dial the selected number.
To configure Personal Directory, users must access their User Options web pages.
If they want to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, they must also install the
Cisco IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer utility, provided by you.
