The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Configure directory integration in an on-premises deployment so that user data in Cisco Unified Communications Manager is synchronized with your corporate directory. You can also configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to proxy authentication to your directory server when users sign in to the client.
Specify an LDAP attribute for the user ID.
You must specify a value for the user ID on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This value is required for the default IM address scheme and for users to sign in. The default value is sAMAccountName.
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager synchronizes with the directory source, it retrieves the values for the directory URI and user ID and populates them in the end user configuration table in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager database then synchronizes with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service database. As a result, the values for the directory URI and user ID are populated in the end user configuration table in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service database.
When you synchronize from your directory source to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can populate the user ID from an attribute in the directory. The default attribute that holds the user ID is sAMAccountName.
On Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 9.0(1) and later, you can populate the directory URI from an attribute in the directory. The default attribute is msRTCSIP-primaryuseraddress.
This service keeps data synchronized between the presence server and Cisco Unified Communications Manager. When you perform the synchronization with your directory server, Cisco Unified Communications Manager then synchronizes the data with the presence server. However, the Cisco Sync Agent service must be activated and started.
User data from your directory server is synchronized to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. Cisco Unified Communications Manager then synchronizes the user data to the presence server database.
