CUCM corporate directory address book

[Bekzod Fakhriddinov]

Hi, how is corporate directory function gets users and phone numbers  list from CUCM database ? I there way to manipulate which data to get from UCCM ? 

Thank you

It uses the data from the end users page for the corporate directory, it's provided as-is and is not configurable.

If you want to get more/less/different info, you need to create your own directory script.

Thank you, Directory script you mentioned, is it need to be created in the CUCM ? 

Can you share any links how to create Directory Script?  

[Jaime Valencia]

No, you host the script on a separate web server and point your phones to it.

You can find resources over at DevNet or just google info on the topic.

ok, Do u know anything about this issue or limitation: so we have 2 user accounts one is regular Windows AD account, second is network account  Windows AD account too.   I see network account doesn't have telephone number  under End User page, I tried to add ipPhone and telephone number into AD for that user then sync with LDAP. But still that network account doesnt have telephone number. 

Is it limitation on some purpose or ... ? 

Thank you

Hi there

Cisco Unified Communications Directory Architecture

By default, all users are provisioned manually in the publisher database through the Unified CM Administration web interface. Cisco Unified CM has two types of users:

• End users — All users associated with a physical person and an interactive login. This category includes all Unified Communications users as well as Unified CM administrators when using the User Groups and Roles configuration (equivalent to the Cisco Multilevel Administration feature in prior Unified CM versions).
• Application users — All users associated with other Cisco Unified Communications features or applications, such as Cisco Attendant Console, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant. These applications need to authenticate with Unified CM, but these internal "users" do not have an interactive login and serve purely for internal communications between applications.

Table 16-2 Directory Requirements and Cisco Solutions

Requirement	Cisco Solution	Cisco Unified CM Feature
User lookup for endpoints	Directory access	Cisco Unified IP Phone Services SDK
			User provisioning	Directory integration	LDAP Synchronization
Authentication for Unified Communications end users	Directory integration	LDAP Authentication
Authentication for Unified Communications application administrators	Directory integration	LDAP Authentication

You can download the latest Cisco Unified IP Phone Services SDK from Cisco DevNet, the Cisco developer community, at https://developer.cisco.com/site/devnet/home/index.gsp
