After LDAP synchronization occurs, a report is generated. The report lists the number of new users created, the 

number of existing users updated, and the number of users deleted during the synchronization. The report also 

lists the operations that could not be performed during the synchronization. The failed operations can be due to 

incorrect data entered into the LDAP server or wrong settings. 

● 

Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning only reads the user information from the LDAP server. Cisco Prime 

Collaboration Provisioning does not write any information to the LDAP server. 

● 

Only Microsoft Active Directory servers 2000, 2003, and 2008 are supported as LDAP servers. 

● 

LDAP synchronization only creates the users; it does not add their services to their user records. Make sure 

you run domain synchronization after LDAP synchronization so that the user

s’ services are added to their 

user records. 

● 

The user search base configured in LDAP services in the domain is used to synchronize LDAP users into 

the Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning user database. Although the LDAP user search base is 

configured when users are added, the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server is used to 

authenticate Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning users when they log in to Cisco Prime Collaboration 

Provisioning. 

Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Concepts 

Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning uses certain concepts to ease the management of Cisco Unified 

Communications Manager deployment. The concepts consist of the following: 

● 

Domain 

◦  A logical partition to subdivide a shared environment to create separate local administrative partitions 

containing service areas, a domain can contain multiple service areas and may be associated with multiple 

Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unity clusters. 

◦  Example: A domain could be a company headquarters building or all users in western Europe or each 

department in a large enterprise. 

If you want to allow a group of subadministrators to manage only a limited part of the voice network, then you 

should create a domain for them to manage. 

● 

Service area 

◦  A logical partition to subdivide a shared environment within a domain to group users by their location, 

device pool, and partition. A service area is associated with only one Cisco Unified Communications 

Manager or one Cisco Unity cluster. 

◦  Example: A service area can be a department within a company headquarters building domain (for 

example, engineering, marketing, finance, and other departments) or may be tied to a specific location 

or site. 

You most likely will have a service area defining the set of commonly used service parameters for each site you 

manage.
