Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users

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.
For more information, refer to the "LDAP System", "LDAP Directory", and "LDAP Authentication"
