[cisco-voip] LDAP with CUP and CUPC

[Ryan Ratliff]

CUCM 5.x and later does not have an ldap server.  CUPS requires an  
external ldap server, and the usernames in that ldap must match the  
userids of the end users in CUCM.  Most often people accomplish this  
by pointing both CUCM and CUPS to the same ldap server however it is  
not strictly required for CUCM to be synched with ldap to get it to  
work.

You can certainly try to point CUPS at the CUCM for ldap, but it's  
not going to be able to do any ldap queries.

If you use the UCM LDAP, note that in order for CUPC users to add  
people to their contact list they must do it through the CUPS user  
web pages.  You cannot do it from the client directly.

Hello,



On the LDAP side, you must specify something. It will either be  
CallManager or AD typically. If you are AD-integrated on the UCM 6.X  
side, you will want to set the LDAP server as the same AD server on  
the CUPS side. All the Presence client uses this for is to query the  
users.



CUCM is an LDAP server by default.

This is a really good one that has what has to be done on UCM and the  
CUPS server

In response to #5, it is actually much easier to install if you are  
not having to worry about Microsoft at all.



Thanks,



James

I am installing a Presence server 6.0. in the CUCM 6.1 network. As I  
am setting it up I am having a hard time understanding all the  
functions of each part I am setting up. An example of this is I  
understand I need to settup an LDAP server however I am not finding  
many details behind the function of the LDAP for CUPC.

1. Is the LDAP a server that Cisco is expecting to be on the  
customers network like their Microsoft AD?

2. Can the CUCM act as LDAP?

3. What server does LDAP get installed on?

4. Does the customer need to provide this LDAP on one of their  
existing servers?

5. What if the customer did not have Microsoft or exchange and just  
wanted Cisco CUCM, IP Phones, Unity Connection, and CUPC clients for  
IM. In this situation where would you install the LDAPand what  
repository would it point to?

6. There are a lot of steps to get this system up and running has  
anyone found a good paper explaining all the correct steps in on  
document to get the Presence server configured with CUCM and  CUPC  
clients other than the multiple guides?
