Create user accounts and FindMe profiles 

FindMe profiles are configured in user accounts. User accounts can be set up manually, one at a time 
through the Cisco VCS interface. Alternatively if you want to set up every user’s account and their 
initial FindMe profile in the same format then Cisco TMS can be used to provision the accounts. 

 

For manual configuration see the section “Manual creation of user accounts and FindMe profiles” 
on page 6. 

 

For Cisco TMS configuration see the section “Using Cisco TMS to mass provision user accounts 
and FindMe” on page 7. 

For manual configuration, on Cisco VCS: 

1.  Go to the User accounts page (Maintenance > Login accounts > User accounts). 

2. Click 

New. 

 

 

3.  Configure the fields as follows: 

 

The username for logging into this user account. 

For example name.surname 

(Username is case sensitive, and may include spaces.) 

If LDAP login authentication is to be used, the username must 
exactly match the username in the LDAP accessible database. 

If local database authentication is to be used, this username must be 
used as the name in the local authentication database. 

Note: the username must be different from the FindMe ID. 

The user’s name without formatting restrictions. It is displayed on the 
FindMe search page and used in phone books. 

For example Name Surname  

The E.164 caller ID to be presented on outdialed H.323 calls, e.g. to 
ISDN gateways. (It must only contain digits – do not include any 
spaces, hyphens or brackets.) 

Note: If calls may be placed to an ISDN gateway, ensure that the 
format of this phone number matches the requirements of the ISDN 
provider. 

If Cisco TMS provisions the user accounts, the Cisco TMS provided 
E.164 number will be used in preference to the value typed in here.
