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 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 the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Guide, LDAP System Configuration, LDAP Directory Configuration, and LDAP Authentication
Configuration chapters.
Configuring Personal Directory
Personal Directory consists of the following features:
• Personal Address Book (PAB)
• Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials)
• Address Book Synchronization Tool (TABSynch)
Users can access Personal Directory features by these methods:
• From a web browser—Users can access the PAB and Fast Dials features from the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager User Options web pages
• From the Cisco Unified IP Phone—Users can choose Directories > Personal Directory to access
the PAB and Fast Dials features from their phones
From a Microsoft Windows application—Users can use the TABSynch tool to synchronize their PABs
with Microsoft Windows Address Book (WAB). Customers who want to use the Microsoft Outlook
Address Book (OAB) should begin by importing the data from the OAB into the Windows Address Book
(WAB). TabSync can then be used to synchronize the WAB with Personal Directory.
To configure Personal Directory from a web browser, users must access their User Options web pages.
You must provide users with a URL and login information.
To synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, users must install the TABSynch utility, which is provided by
you. To obtain the TABSynch software to distribute to users, choose Application > Plugins from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, then locate and click Cisco Unified IP Phone
Address Book Synchronizer.
Modifying Phone Button Templates
Phone button templates let you assign speed dials and call-handling features to programmable line
buttons. Call-handling features that can be assigned to buttons include call forward, hold, and
conference.
Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this way, you can access
customized phone button template options from Cisco Unified Communications Manager during
registration.
