Bulk Import Using BAT
Instead of adding potentially hundreds or thousands of users one at a time, the adminis-
trator can add users in bulk using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). BAT allows the ad-
ministrator to create and upload a CSV file with all the users' information populated and
insert the data into the database in an automated way. BAT is a fast way to add, remove, or
modify database entries for almost every part of the CUCM database.
LDAP Integration
CUCM supports integration with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP
is a standards-based (with some significant vendor-specific exceptions) system that allows
an organization to create a single, centralized directory information store. LDAP holds in-
formation about user accounts, passwords, and user privileges. The information central-
ized in LDAP is available to other applications, so that separate directories do not need to
be maintained for each application. Using LDAP simplifies user administration, and makes
using systems slightly easier for users because they only need to maintain their informa-
tion and passwords in one place.

Note: Only End Users are replicated by LDAP Sync. Application users are always and
only maintained in the CUCM database.
CUCM supports LDAP integration with several widely used LDAP systems, including the
following:
