Adding a User to Cisco Unified CM

Adding a User to Cisco Unified CM

This section describes steps for adding a user to Cisco Unified CM. Follow one of the procedures in this

section, depending on your operating system and the manner in which you are adding the user:

• Adding a User From an External LDAP Directory, page D-2

• Adding a User Directly to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-2

Adding a User From an External LDAP Directory

If you added a user to an LDAP Directory (a non–Cisco Unified Communications Server directory), you

can immediately synchronize that directory to the Cisco Unified CM on which you are adding this same

user and the user’s phone by following these steps.

Procedure

Step 1 Log onto Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

Step 2 Choose System > LDAP > LDAP Directory.

Step 3 Use the Find button to locate your LDAP directory.

Step 4 Click on the LDAP directory name.

Step 5 Click Perform Full Sync Now.

If you do not need to immediately synchronize the LDAP Directory to the Cisco Unified

Communications Manager, the LDAP Directory Synchronization Schedule on the LDAP Directory

window determines when the next auto-synchronization is scheduled. However, the synchronization

must occur before you can associate a new user to a device.

Step 6 Proceed to “Configuring the Phone” section on page D-3.

Adding a User Directly to Cisco Unified Communications Manager

If you are not using an LDAP directory, you can add a user directly to Cisco Unified Communications

Manager Administration by following these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Choose User Management > End User, then click Add New. The End User Configuration window

appears.

Step 2 In the User Information pane of this window, enter the following:

–

User ID—Enter the end user identification name. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does

not permit modifying the user ID after it is created. You may use the following special

characters: =, +, <, >, #, ;, \, , "", and blank spaces.
