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. For more information, refer to the "LDAP System," "LDAP Directory," and "LDAP Authentication" chapters in the Cisco Unified Communications Administration Guide. After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate Directory service on their Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE to look up users in the corporate directory.
