Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users
Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories
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.
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 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.
For more information on directories, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide,
Understanding Directory chapter.
After completing the LDAP directory configuration, users can use the Corporate Directory service on
their Cisco Unified IP Phone to look up users in the corporate directory.
Configuring Personal Directory
Personal Directory consists of the following features:
• Personal Address Book (PAB)
• Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials)
• Address Book Synchronization Tool (TABSync)
Users can access Personal Directory features by these methods:
• From a web browser—Users can access the PAB and Fast Dials features from the Cisco Unified CM
User Options
• From the Cisco Unified IP Phone—Users can choose Directories > Personal Directory to access
the PAB and Fast Dials features from their phones
• From a Microsoft Windows application—Users can use the TABSync tool to synchronize their PABs
with Microsoft Windows Address Book (WAB). Customers who want to use the Microsoft Outlook
Address Book (OAB) should begin by importing the data from the OAB into the Windows Address
Book (WAB). TabSync can then be used to synchronize the WAB with Personal Directory.
To ensure that Cisco Unified IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer users have access only to end-user
data that pertains to them, activate the Cisco UXL Web Service in Cisco Unified Serviceability.
To configure Personal Directory from a web browser, users must access their User Options web pages.
You must provide users with a URL and login information.
To synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, users must install the TABSync utility, which is provided by
you. To obtain the TABSync software to distribute to users, choose Application > Plugins from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, then locate and click Cisco Unified IP Phone
Address Book Synchronizer.
