"Configuring Corporate Directories" section on page 5-7
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

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