Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories
The Directories button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G 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 5-15 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 5-16 for more information.
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.
After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate Directory service on
their Cisco
Unified IP Phone to look up users in the corporate directory.
