Solved: CME and CCM Corporate Directory

twissam · ‎02-22-2008

Hi,

i have a setup where CCM can call CME and the other way around.

the customer need is to have on the CCM a service pointing to the CME showing the users in the Corporate directory.

also we need the other way around from CCM to see the CME CD.

Good day

Hey Wissam,

The recommended config for this type of setup is to actually configure the CME users on the CCM Directory and then tweak the CME to point to the CCM Directory. Have a look;

To enable an external directory resource on supported Cisco Unified IP phones and disable local directory services on those same phones, perform the following steps.

Prerequisites

To use a Cisco Unified Communications Manager directory as an external directory source for Cisco Unified CME phones, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager must be made aware of the phones. You must list the MAC addresses of the Cisco Unified CME phones in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and reset the phones from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It is not necessary for you to assign ephone-dns to the phones or for the phones to register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Restrictions

Provisioning of the directory URL to select an external directory resource disables the Cisco Unified CME local directory service.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. telephony -service

4. url {directory | service} url ***something like http://172.16.242.240/CCMCIP/xmldirectory.asp

5. end

From this good CME doc;

Hope this helps!

Rob, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm having the same issue, but unfortunately not the same result.

I have a CCM 4.1(3) sr2 in the US and a CME in Japan.

I'm trying to figure out how to read the directory from CME as an additional directory listing in CCM and then how to get the CME directory as an additional directory to CCM.

I've tried editing the xmldirectory.asp on the CCM but it's not working, the path I'm using to connect to CME is http://10.103.0.2/localdirectory and I'm getting an XML Error [4]: Parse Error.

Any ideas, would be greatly appreciated.

you can e-mail me directly if you don't want to continue in this thread. dolah@vocollect.com
