[cisco-voip] CUCM 10.X Self Provisioning

[Ryan Ratliff (rratliff)]

Anthony is correct that the "self" in the feature is for end users.  Depending on your deployment specifics I think it would be an easy modification to treat the physical location as the enduser rather than the person making the call.  You probably also saw that there is an admin pin in the feature so you can provision phones on behalf of a user.

Nice work around.  Thanks for the idea Anthony.  In healthcare it's the exception that a phone has an assigned user so we buck Cisco's deployment tool trends.

The short answer is I don't think you can.  Did you see this?

Set Up Cisco Unified Communications Manager to Support Self-Provisioning
Before You Begin
The administrator must first either add the end user using the Bulk Administration Tool or synchronize the end user from LDAP to add the end users to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

I think, but I could be wrong, that the "self" in self-provisioning is referring to the end users.  So, knowing that it's for end users only, you could create a fake user for the phone during self provisioning, have a supervisor, receptionist, whoever, complete the process, and then just delete the user and convert to anonymous.

The clean up process can be automated or bulked by giving these common area phones a common attribute to search on.  E.g., description contains "anonymous" OR if you know the DB schema: select name from device where fkenduser = (select pkid from enduser where userid = 'selfprovioningfakeuser')

I've been playing with the Self Provisioning feature within CUCM 10.x.  I've got it working if I have a user with an assigned extension.  Is there a way to use this feature for phones that won't be tied to a user like TAPS can do?
