[cisco-voip] Change Corp Dir without loosing/breaking PersonalDirectories (6.1)

[Adam Blomfield]

When a Cisco IP phone retrieves the Directories URL (or the Services URL for
that matter) it appends it with a querystring parameter of "Name". In order
to achieve what you are trying to do you will need to use whichever
scripting language you are most comfortable with to create a dymaic page
that can read this querystring parameter and pass it on to the next page.
You can see in your example below that it is going to
http://10.2.10.10:8080/ccmpd/pdCheckLogin.do?name=undefined - that undefined
should actually be SEPXXXXXXXXXXXX based on whatever phone is requesting it,
hence the need for a scripting language. I have an example of something
similar using ASP and VBScript on my website for creating an alterate
services list that you can reference as an example if you like -
