Cisco Cisco Prime Unified Provisioning Manager 9.0 Installation Guide

After you deploy the Provisioning Manager OVA and complete the post-installation tasks, you are ready to set up Provisioning 
Manager for use. 

To set up Provisioning Manager, complete the following tasks: 

For Provisioning Manager to work properly, it must be able to communicate with other components of the Unified 
Communications Management Suite, including Unified Communications Manager and Unity Connection. 

If your environment includes an LDAP server for authentication, you can also configure Provisioning Manager communications 
with that server.

Similarly, if your environment includes Unified Presence, you can also configure Provisioning Manager communications for use 
with it. 

Provisioning Manager enables you to perform the following tasks from one screen: 

Confirm IP address and account information for Unified Communications Manager and Unity Connection/

Configure voicemail. 

Test access from Provisioning Manager to Unified Communications Manager and Unity Connection. 

Optionally, configure IP address and account information for Unified Presence, an Exchange server, and LDAP.

If you configure any of these optional services, the following rules apply: 

If you configure Provisioning Manager for communications with Unified Presence, you cannot remove it from the 
Provisioning Manager configuration.

If you configure Provisioning Manager for communications with an Exchange server, you cannot remove it from the 
Provisioning Manager configuration.

If you configure LDAP server access and need to remove it later, you can do so by removing the IP address for the LDAP 
server. 

For information about configuring LDAP servers and profiles on Unified Presence servers, and automatically 
provisioning user services, see the

If configured, test access to Unified Presence and an LDAP server.

Configure and test communications with other components of the Unified 
Communications Manager suite and, optionally, with an LDAP server.

Configure one or more sites with internal and external dialing options, a 
range of phone numbers, gateway, and options for local and long-distance 
calling.

Configure usage profiles for different types of users.
