Cisco Systems 1.4 manual How Personal Assistant uses directories

Appendix A Personal Assistant Administration Page Reference

Corporate Directory Settings

Table A-3describes the fields on the Corporate Directory Settings page. Use the Corporate Directory Settings page to identify the corporate directory server. This is the directory that contains information, such as phone numbers and locations, on all of the employees in the corporation. Personal Assistant uses this information to find the phone number for an employee when someone tries to phone the employee by using the employee name. When you have modified data in the fields on the page, click Save to save your changes.

Note that changes to corporate directory settings take effect on the next scheduled refresh. If you need the changes to take effect immediately, go to the Speech Services Configuration page, and click Refresh Now.

	Field		Considerations
	Unique User Attribute Name		Enter the field within the directory that is unique for each record. This helps
			Personal Assistant correctly locate numbers when users attempt to dial a person by name.
			The field that you use will depend on your corporate directory. Use one of the following
			fields:
			• For Cisco CallManager DC Directory—Use cn.
			• For Active Directory—Use sAMAccountName.
			• For Netscape Directory—Use either cn or uid.
			For any other directory, ask the directory administrator for the name of the unique field.
			Note that the name is case-sensitive.
			See the “How Personal Assistant Uses Directories” section on page 1-5for an explanation
			of how Personal Assistant uses directories.
	Directory Server URL		Enter the URL for the corporate directory, including the port number, as follows. (Note that
			the options below use the default port numbers for each type of directory.)
			• For Cisco CallManager DC Directory—Enter ldap://<Fully qualified domain name of
			the corporate directory server>:8404.
			• For Active Directory, single domain—If your users are contained in a single domain,
			enter ldap://<Fully qualified domain name of the domain controller>:389.
			• For Active Directory, multiple domains—If you have defined users in multiple domains,
			enter ldap://<Fully qualified domain name of the Global Catalog server>:3268.
			• For Netscape Directory—Enter ldap://<IP address of the Netscape Directory
			server>:389.
	Directory Admin DN		Enter the administrator name for the directory, if authentication is required for accessing the
			directory.
			• For Cisco CallManager DC Directory—Enter cn=Directory Manager,o=domain.com.
			• For Active Directory—Enter <Active Directory administrator user ID>@<Fully
			qualified domain name>.
			• For Netscape Directory—Enter cn=Directory Manager.
			Note that Directory Manager is the default administrator user ID for Cisco CallManager
			DC Directory and for Netscape Directory. If your system uses a different administrator
			user ID, use the applicable value.
