Collect UserID from Corporate Directory

[Maciej Karpinski]

Hi

We currently collect Caller Name from our corporate directory in UCM but would also want to collect UserID, is that possible?

Hi

Most likely yes. However you will have to describe how you are retrieving it from the directory currently, and for what purpose, using what versions of what products...

Right now we are retrieving the name by setting dirURL="http://UCM:8080/ccmcip/xmldirectorylist.jsp?n="

and then using the following:

UCCX: 8.5

UCM: 8.6

I see - in that case, it wouldn't be as simple as you hoped. You are looking up against the user directory that is designed to return contact info for users, not expose their security credentials.

The data is available in CUCM, what I would do is write a small AXL web page that would look up the enduser table based on the number you supply to a parameter on the web page. This would then just return a simple XML document with the userID.

This would also need to be hosted on a seperate server..

Is your CUCM integrated with LDAP? - if yes then maybe you could modify one of the ASP scripts from the CallManager SDK to return userid in XML format

Thank you for you answers, I was hoping that this would be something easy to do.

No such luck I'm afraid.
