IP phone ignoring URL for Directory XML

[JohnPeca18]

I need to use external source for directory XML ,I set it in External Data Locations Information on IP phone settings on Call manager, or in Enterprise parameters on Call Manager. I can see that IP phone get the URL in HTTP configuration menu, but it still use default URL pointed to CCM.Strangely, when I try the same setting for Cisco softphone CIPC, everything works fine. All phones are localized in Czech except the CIPC so maybe this is the problem, but I cant see how can I fix it and how localization affects URL for XMLs  and scripts. Do you have any idea?

CUCM version:7.1.3.32900-4

IP phones:7965,7975

thanks for any help

Jan,

The issue is that in 7.1.3 the provisioning of features like directories (corporate/personal/missed calls/received calls/placed calls/etc.) has changed quite a bit.  Cisco introduced the concept of enterprise subscriptions for services (which are automatically provisioned on all phones).  Coupled with this concept is a provisioning method.  The provisioning method tells the phone can you access an enterprise level service via "Internal", "External", or "Both".  You have to understand a few things about this new provisioning method and the enterprise service subscription to solve your issue.

I wrote a blog about this exact topic here:
