Custom User Field Name on CUCM

[fdharmawan]

Hi Guys,

I have this field on AD that I need to sync to CUCM. But apparently CUCM does not sync that AD field by default. And there is this column "Custom User Field Name". If I read on Cisco documentation, it "allows you to synchronize LDAP directory attributes that are not included among the defaults for the Standard User Fields to be Synchronized". Has anyone done this before? Is there any downside when using this feature? Thanks.

There's really no downside for this, just be aware that those custom fields are not used by CUCM, but meant to be used by other applications, like AC.

And they don't show up in the GUI.

It can also help administrators find, categorize, and select users programmatically, if say for example you were using run sql select from the command line or axl sql toolkit.

Hi Jaime and Anthony,

I already added the custom LDAP field, and it does not show up on GUI as expected. And yes I intended to run sql command for AXL purpose. Thanks guys.
