Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users 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 5-16 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 5-17 for more information. Configuring Corporate Directories Cisco Unified CallManager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of Cisco Unified CallManager applications that interface with Cisco Unified 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 Unified Customer Directory Configuration Plugin document. This document guides you through the configuration process for integrating Cisco Unified 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 Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE to look up users in the corporate directory. 5-16 Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G/7961G-GE and 7941G/7941G-GE Administration Guide for Cisco Unified CallManager OL-11528-01
