[cisco-voip] CCM 4.2 w/ Unity 4.0 AD integration and directory services.

[Ryan Ratliff]

Nothing about this is specific to Unity, that just happens to be the same server as your AD.   Replace every instance of Unity with AD in your email below and see if you can answer your own questions.

The ldap integration with CUCM 5.x and later is completely different than in 4.x  We no longer just point to the external ldap, but actually sync in users from ldap.  This means your directory is still there when AD is down (except for auth, if you configure it).  

The custom corporate directory has been asked numerous times on this list.  You should be able to find a good bit of info on it from the archives.  Basically you will need to create a custom directory search page to search AD however you want it to be searched.

Users can be added in Unity admin webpage and then get populated in the CCM global directory.  The user password must be changed by the administrator in Unity, not CCM.  Also, the CCMAdministrator user account is in the Unity server.  Anytime Unity is down, the CCM admin page cannot be accessed.  The directories URL for phones still point to the CCM server, http://ccm1/CCMCIP/xmldirectory.asp.

Can I accomplish this using Unity and then just point to a directory on the Unity server since it is already integrated with it or what would be the best approach to accomplish this?  I’d prefer doing this than a separate server that would be separately managed and create more work.  Also, if we were to pull directory services from the unity server, is that still possible in new versions of CUCM such as versions 7 and 8?
