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 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.
To install and set up these features, refer to Installing and Configuring the Cisco
Unified Customer Directory Configuration Plugin. That manual 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, the Corporate Directory
service is enabled on your Cisco Unified IP Phone and allows users access to the
corporate directory.

•Personal Address Book (PAB)
•Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials)
