[cisco-voip] Removing users from the Corporate Directory (onthephones)

[Matt Slaga (US)]

They took it out in 4.1, but you used to be able to leave out the first
name to omit from the directory.

Now it is a little more involved:

1.  Open Notepad on the publisher server.

2.  Cut and paste these four lines and save the file as a text file on
the C: drive as hideuser.ldif.

Note:  The spaces should appear as this output shows. Ensure that there
are no extra spaces in the LDIF file. Otherwise, the script fails when
you run it.

dn: cn=[userid], ou=users, o=cisco.com
changeType:modify
replace:Description
Description:CiscoPrivateUser

3.  Set the [userid] to be the user you want to hide. For example: 

dn: cn=ctiuser, ou=users, o=cisco.com
changeType:modify
replace:Description
Description:CiscoPrivateUser

4.  Select Start > Run > cmd to open a command prompt on the publisher
server and run this script in order to set the description field in DC
Directory: 

ldapmodify -h <server name> -p 8404 -D "cn=Directory
Manager,o=cisco.com" -w <DCDAdmin Password> -c -f hideuser.ldif.txt


This output shows a successful run:

C:\>ldapmodify -h CallManagerPub -p 8404 -D 
"cn=Directory Manager, o=cisco.com" -w Cisco -c -f hideuser.ldif.txt
modifying entry cn=ctiuser, ou=users, o=cisco.com

Sounds good, but there I still want to be able to work with these
accounts. I just want them to not show up on the phone, directory,
corporate directory...
