3.1.5 Cisco CallManager  
The following configuration options on the Cisco CallManager need to be configured for 
Operations Manager to discover and manage the Cisco CallManager. Failure to do so 
may result in incomplete monitoring of the Cisco CallManager and cause some features 
in Operations Manager to behave inconsistently, 
3.1.5.1 HTTP Credentials 
Operations Manager uses the AVVID XML Layer (AXL) API in addition to SNMP to 
manage Cisco CallManager. This means that Operations Manager will make SOAP calls 
over HTTP through the AXL interface to collect fault and performance information from 
the Cisco CallManager. Operations Manager needs an HTTP username/password to 
execute these queries. When you add or discover a Cisco CallManager with Operations 
Manager, you must supply a username/password or that Cisco CallManager will enter the 
partially monitored state (see section 5.3.3, Device Discovery Process).  The 
username/password do not need to be administrator credentials. Any set of credentials 
with read level access that will get authorized for the URL 
http://server-name/ccmadmin
 will 
suffice.   
3.1.5.2 HTTPS Configuration and Security Certificates 
Cisco CallManager 4.1 or later supports enabling Secure Socket Layers (SSLs) on virtual 
directories. If you intend to secure the communication between Operations Manager and 
Cisco CallManager, you will need to enable SSL on the Cisco CallManager and 
specifically certain virtual directories.  
•  CCMApi: Operations Manager uses services in this virtual directory to perform 
AXL/SOAP database queries. 
•  SOAP: Operations Manager uses services in this virtual directory to perform 
AXL/SOAP device queries.
