Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories
The Directories button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and
7941G/7941G-GE 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 5-26 for more
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 “Configuring Personal Directory” section on
page 5-27 for more information.
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 Installing and Configuring the
Cisco Unified Customer Directory Configuration Plugin document. This
document 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 your Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and
7941G/7941G-GE to look up users in the corporate directory.
