Adding a User to Cisco Unified CM
This section describes steps for adding a user to Cisco Unified CM. Follow one of the procedures in this
section, depending on your operating system and the manner in which you are adding the user:
•
Adding a User From an External LDAP Directory, page D-2
•
Adding a User Directly to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page D-2
Adding a User From an External LDAP Directory
If you added a user to an LDAP Directory (a non–Cisco Unified Communications Server directory), you
can immediately synchronize that directory to the Cisco Unified CM on which you are adding this same
user and the user’s phone by following these steps.
Procedure
Step 1
Log onto Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Step 2
Choose
System > LDAP > LDAP Directory
.
Step 3
Use the
Find
button to locate your LDAP directory.
Step 4
Click on the LDAP directory name.
Step 5
Click
Perform Full Sync Now
.
If you do not need to immediately synchronize the LDAP Directory to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, the LDAP Directory Synchronization Schedule on the LDAP Directory
window determines when the next auto-synchronization is scheduled. However, the synchronization
must occur before you can associate a new user to a device.
Step 6
Proceed to
“Configuring the Phone” section on page D-3
.
Adding a User Directly to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
If you are not using an LDAP directory, you can add a user directly to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration by following these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Choose
User Management > End User
, then click
Add New.
The End User Configuration window
appears.
Step 2
In the User Information pane of this window, enter the following:
–
User ID—Enter the end user identification name. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does
not permit modifying the user ID after it is created. You may use the following special
characters: =, +, <, >, #, ;, \, , "", and blank spaces.
