Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories
The Directories button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 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 Configuring Corporate
Directories, page 5-24 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 Configuring Personal Directory, page 5-24 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.
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 ensure that Cisco Unified IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer users have access to end-user data
that pertains only to them, activate the Cisco UXL Web Service in Cisco Unified Serviceability.
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.
