Importing Users from CUCM
If the CUCM server already has a fully populated user database, those entries may be eas-
ily imported and synchronized in the CUC database. To enable this capability, perform the
following actions on both the CUC and CUCM server:
1.
From the
Cisco Unified Serviceability
interface, under the
To o l s
menu, select
Service Activation
.
2.
Select the

Importing Users from LDAP
LDAP is a standards-based user, password, and privilege database system. Multiple other
applications can access a LDAP directory to determine if a particular username and pass-
word are valid and have access privileges to a particular resource.
