Create user accounts and FindMe profiles 

The password to log into the user’s account on the Cisco VCS. 

Repeat the password entered above. 

The FindMe ID is a unique alias through which the user can be 
contacted on all of their endpoints. It can be a URI, an H.323 ID or 
an E.164 number. 

For example name.surname@company.com 

Note: the FindMe ID must be different from the username (but it 
can, for example, be in the format username@domain). 

The ID of the initial device in the FindMe - specified as the URI, 
H.323 ID or E.164 number of the primary device of this user. 

Note 1: Principal devices cannot be deleted by users. 

Note 2: The principal device address must be different from the 
FindMe ID. 

For more details on principal devices, see “Appendix 8 – 
Determining the FindMe ID for a caller” on page 22. 

Select Individual or Group (see “Appendix 6 – Individual and group 
FindMe types” on page 20.) 

 

**

 The password entries are only displayed if User authentication source is set to Local (see “User 

account (FindMe) login authentication” on page 10.)  If User authentication source is set to Remote, 
the login password will be authenticated by the LDAP connected database. 

4. Click 

Save. 

5.  Repeat steps 2 to 4 to create all the required user accounts. 

Additional FindMe devices can be added on the Edit user account page by following the Edit user 
link in the Configure devices and locations section. See the “FindMe User Guide” for more details. 

Where user accounts and their FindMe profiles are required to be in a consistent format for all users of 
a system, Cisco TMS can be used to create the accounts for all the users it manages. 

Templates are created which are applied to a user when that user is created (or found in AD if Cisco 
TMS users are imported from AD). 

1.  In Cisco TMS, go to Systems > Provisioning > Directory.
