Problem

Users cannot access the Corporate Directory from the 7936 conference phones. The Server not found or Host not found error messages are displayed. The other IP phones (7940, 7960) are able to access the Corporate Directory.

Solution

This problem arises when the Corporate Directory in use is not the default Corporate Directory that ships with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager(CallManager). Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7936 does not support Custom Corporate Directory. It only supports the default /CCMCIP/xmldirectory.asp.

Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7936 does not support all XML tags listed in the IP Phone Services SDK. Also, it does not support the URLs and action tags used specifically by the ldapsearch.asp included with the Cisco IP Phone Services SDK.

In order to overcome this problem, in the Custom Corporate Directory, use the same XML format, script flow, HTML method and action as used by the default Corporate Directory that comes with Cisco Unified Communications Manager(CallManager).
