LDAP Configuration for Cisco UCM

D.

When LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM), the Cisco DirSync service must be enabled.

LDAP is a protocol used to access and maintain directory information services over an internet protocol (IP) network. In Cisco UCM, LDAP can be used to import user information from an external directory source such as Microsoft Active Directory. This can be helpful in managing user accounts and permissions, as well as allowing users to log in to the Cisco UCM system with their existing directory credentials.

The Cisco DirSync service is responsible for synchronizing user information between the external directory source and the Cisco UCM system. It is necessary to enable this service so that changes made to user information in the external directory source can be reflected in the Cisco UCM system, and vice versa. Without this service, user information may become out of date or inconsistent between the two systems.

The other services listed in the answer choices are not directly related to LDAP integration.

• Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service is used to automate the process of adding, updating, or deleting large numbers of users or devices in Cisco UCM.
• Cisco AXL Web Service is used to programmatically access and modify the configuration of Cisco UCM using XML-based APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).
• Cisco CallManager SNMP Service is used to enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for Cisco UCM, allowing network administrators to monitor and manage the system using SNMP-based tools.
