The LDAP integration in Unity Connection involves: • Creating Unity Connection users by importing user data from an LDAP directory. • Configuring Unity Connection to periodically synchronize the users with the user data in an LDAP directory. • Authenticating Unity Connection users against the user data in an LDAP directory. An LDAP authenticated user uses the LDAP password as the web application password to log in to Unity Connection web applications. For a list of the LDAP directories that are supported for use with Unity Connection, see the “Requirements for an LDAP Directory Integration” section in System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 15 available at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/15/requirements/b_ 15cucsysreqs.html. Integrating Unity Connection with an LDAP Directory If a Unity Connection server is integrated with a Cisco Unified CM phone system and you want to integrate both the servers with an LDAP directory, you must separately integrate each server with the LDAP directory. Integrating only one of the servers with an LDAP directory is not sufficient to allow the other server to synchronize or authenticate to the LDAP directory.
