Microsoft Active Directory 2000, 2003 and 2008• Netscape Directory Server• Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2• OpenLDAP•

In this example, Microsoft Active Directory 2008 is used.

Note: In order to know how to synchronize Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.x with LightweightDirectory Access Protocol (LDAP), refer to Integrate Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.x withActive Directory.

Add LDAP Users to User Groups

In order to enable LDAP users to login to CUCM , you must add the users to Standard CCM End Usersgroup. Complete these steps:

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > User Management > UserGroup.

1.

Choose Standard CCM End Users group.2.

Click Add End Users to Group and select the check box for users whom you want to add to thisparticular group.

3.

Similarly, add the End Users to the Standard CTI Enabled Group by performing the previous steps.4.

CUPS as an Application Server

Complete these steps in order to add Cisco Unified Presence as an Application Server on Cisco UnifiedCommunications Manager.

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > System > Application Server.1. Click Add New.2. Choose Cisco Unified Presence Server from the drop down menu and click Next.3. Set Name to hostname that you have given while installing CUPS and URL as IP address that is beenassigned to CUPS server.

4.

Configure the Presence Service Parameter

You enable the Inter−Presence Group Subscription parameter to allow users in one Presence Group tosubscribe to the availability information for users in a different presence group.

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > System > Service Parameters.1. Choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from the Server menu.2. Choose Cisco CallManager from the Service menu.3. Choose Allow Subscription for Default Inter−Presence Group Subscription in the ClusterwideParameters (System − Presence) section.

4.

Click Save.5.

Configure SIP Trunk on CUCM

Complete these steps in order to configure the SIP Trunk on Cisco Unified Communications Manager:

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > System > Security > SIPTrunk Security Profile.

1.

Click Find.2. Choose Non Secure SIP Trunk Profile.3. Verify that the setting for Device Security Mode is Non Secure.4. Verify that the setting for Incoming Transport Type is TCP+UDP.5. Verify that the setting for Outgoing Transport Type is TCP.6.

Check to enable these items:

Accept Presence Subscription♦ Accept Out−of−Dialog REFER♦ Accept Unsolicited Notification♦ Accept Replaces Header♦

7.

Click Save.8.

Configure the SIP Trunk for Cisco Unified Presence

You only configure one SIP trunk between a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster and a CiscoUnified Presence cluster.

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > Device > Trunk.1. Click Add New.2. Choose SIP Trunk from the Trunk Type menu.3. Choose SIP from the Device Protocol menu.4. Choose None for the Trunk Service Type.5. Click Next.6. Enter CUPS−SIP−Trunk for the Device Name.7. Select a device pool from the Device Pool menu.8. In the SIP Information section at the bottom of the window, configure these values:9.

In the Destination Address field, enter the dotted IP address, or the FQDN (Fully QualifiedDomain Name), or the DNS SRV record for the Cisco Unified Presence server.

Note: Check Destination Address is an SRV if you have configured a DNS SRV record forthe Destination Address value.

a.

Enter 5060 for the Destination Port.b. Choose Non Secure SIP Trunk Profile from the SIP Trunk Security Profile menu.c. Choose Standard SIP Profile from the SIP Profile menu.d.

Click Save.10.

After you configure the SIP trunk, you must assign that SIP trunk as the CUP PUBLISH Trunk on CiscoUnified Communications Manager by selecting Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration> System > Service Parameters.

Modify the User Credential Policy

You need to set an expiration date on the credential policy for users. The only type of user that does notrequire a credential policy expiration date is an Application user.

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > User Management >Credential Policy Default.

1.

Click Default Credential Policy for End user and Credential Type as PIN.2.

Check the Does Not Expire check box.3.

Note: Similarly, repeat the steps 2 and 3 for Default Credential Policy as End user and Credential Type asPassword.

Verify that Required Services are Running on CUCM

Ensure that these services are activated and running on the CUCM:

From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, go to Cisco Unified Serviceability> Tools >Control Center − Feature Services.

1.

Choose a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from the Server menu.2. Make sure that these services are running:

Cisco CallManager♦ Cisco TFTP (if you are deploying Cisco Unified Personal Communicator softphone)♦ Cisco CTIManager (if you are deploying Cisco Unified Personal Communicator in deskphone control mode)

♦

Cisco AXL Web Service (for data synchronization between Cisco Unified Presence and CiscoUnified Communications Manager)

♦

3.

End User Management

Associate an IP Phone for the Enduser.

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > User Management > End User.1. Click on the User.2.

Click the Device Association button.3. Check the check box adjacent to the phone you want to associate with the user, then clickSaveSelected/Changes.

4.

Choose the Primary Extension for the User.5.

Configure CUPC on CUCM

In order to enable Cisco Unified Personal Communicator softphone features, you must create a new softphonedevice for each user:

Go to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > Device > Phone.1. Click Add New.2. Choose Cisco Unified Personal Communicator from the Phone Type menu.3.

Click Next.4. Configure this information:

Specify the softphone device name in the Device Name field. Name must be: UPC<userid>

Click Save.13. Select the Add a New DN link in the Association Information section that displays on the left side ofthe window.

14.

Configure this information:

Enter the directory number and route partition for the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.

The directory number that is configured for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and theCisco Unified IP Phone must be identical. A directory number is configured with a partition,and you assign a directory number to Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and the CiscoUnified IP Phone. This configuration causes the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator toshare the line with the Cisco Unified IP Phone for this user.

a.

Enter the caller ID in Display (Internal Caller ID), in the Line 1 on Device Device−Namesection.

Cisco Unified Presence Server Configuration

After installing CUPS using an OVA template on a VmWare Esxi Server. For more information, refer toPreparing to Install Cisco Unified Presence on a VMware Server).

Login to the Cisco Unified Presence Server Administration window GUI interface using the browser and typehttps://<hostname/ipaddress>/cupsadmin/. It will prompt you for the username and password. Enter thatwhich you have given while installing CUPS. This will take you to a post install setup wizard.

Complete these steps in order to accomplish the task:

For Host Name/IP Address, enter the hostname of the publisher node. It is the same hostname thatyou entered in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration web from the System > ApplicationServer menu.

1.

Enter the AXL username and password that you have created in CUCM and click Next.2. Enter the security Password and click Next.3. Make sure the settings are correct.4. This finishes the Post Install Wizard, then you can click Home and go to the CUPS Administrationwindow.

5.

Navigate to System > CUCM Publisher. Scroll down and you can see the status as Reachable.6.

Access the CUPC Configuration Menu

Navigate to Application > Cisco Unified Personal Communicator > CTI Gateway Sever menu as shownhere.

You can see that the CTI Gateway Host was automatically created. This also verifies that the CUCM−CUPSintegration is working fine.
