Fix Corporate Directory Issues in Cisco CallManager 3.x

Change the URL Directory Value in Cisco CallManager 3.x

Complete these steps to change your Corporate Directory URL in Cisco CallManager 3.x. This URL is the same URL that your IP phones need to access the Corporate Directory.

1. Access your Cisco CallManager Administration Menu and select System > Enterprise Parameters.

   

2. Select URL Directories and check the Value field.

   If this field contains your Cisco CallManager name, change it to your Cisco CallManager IP address. If this field contains an IP address, make sure that it is the same as your Cisco CallManager IP address.

   

   Note: Change only the name of your Cisco CallManager to your Cisco CallManager IP address. The path must be the same.

3. Click Update after you make these changes.

   The new URL value now has your Cisco CallManager IP address.

   

   In this example, the Cisco CallManager name My_Call_Manager is changed to its IP address of 10.10.10.1.

4. Reset the TFTP server and IP phones after you change the URL Directories value.

   The IP phones request their TFTP information from the TFTP server. The new URL is delivered to the phone at boot time via TFTP.

When you access the Directories button from the IP phone, the Corporate Directory option is not listed, but a Host not found message is displayed on the IP phone.

Share Corporate Directories Between Clusters

If you have two clusters and you use DC Directory, you must maintain two different LDAPs. DC Directory replicates itself only within the cluster. Therefore, if you want to search for a user in cluster B from cluster A via directories, the cluster B user needs to be in the directory for cluster A. Essentially, when you add a new user, you must add the user to both directories. You can then create translation patterns and send the calls across an inter cluster trunk (depending on your dial plan). This is possible only if you have Directory Numbers (DN) that do not overlap.

"Server Not Found" Error Message When You Access the Corporate Directory

When you try to access the Corporate Directory on a Cisco IP Phone, you might receive the "Server Not Found" error message if the default User Locale in the Enterprise Parameters configuration is different than the locale that the device uses. For example, you might receive this error message if the User Locale is English and the Device Locale is Spanish.

In order to resolve this issue, make sure the device is set to the same local as the User Locale in the Enterprise Parameters configuration.
