Searching the Global Directory

---

The Global Directory for Cisco CallManager contains every user within a Cisco CallManager directory. Cisco CallManager uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to interface with a directory that contains user information. Cisco supports this embedded directory with Cisco CallManager. Maintaining the associations of devices with users describes its primary purpose.

Using either a basic or an advanced user search, you can access the Global Directory.

See the "Adding a New User" section on page 62-1 for details on adding and configuring a new user.

The following topics contain information on searching the Global Directory:

Using Basic Search

The Basic User search utility searches the first name, last name, and user ID fields for matches of any substring that you enter as search criteria. For example, if you enter "li" in the search field, the search results include users whose first name, last name, or user ID matches that substring. If you enter two or more substrings that are separated by spaces, the search looks for matches for any substring in any of the three search fields.

Using Advanced Search

With the Advanced User Search utility, you can enter search criteria by using four search fields and built-in Boolean logic to perform more complex searches. If you enter two or more names or substrings that are separated by spaces in any one field, the search looks for matches where any of your specified criteria is true. For example, if you enter "john jerry," the search returns all users whose first names are John or Jerry. If you enter a substring in two or more search fields, the search looks for matches where both criteria are true. For example, if you enter "Ling" for first name and "Chu" for last name, the search returns the user named Ling Chu.
