IP phones in the database tables. When a change is detected, it modifies the
/etc./dhcpd.conf file and restarts the DHCPD daemon.
Cisco Intercluster Lookup Service
The Intercluster Lookup Service (ILS) runs on a cluster-wide
basis. ILS allows you to create networks of remote Cisco Cisco Unified
Communications Manager clusters. The ILS cluster discovery feature allows Cisco
Cisco Unified Communications Manager to connect to remote clusters without the
need for an administrator having to manually configure connections between each
cluster. The ILS Global Dial Plan Replication feature enables clusters in the
ILS network with the ability to exchange global dial plan data with the other clusters
in an ILS network.
ILS can be activated from the ILS Configuration window that
can be accessed in Cisco Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration by
selecting Advanced Features > ILS Configuration.
Cisco UserSync Service
Cisco UserSync service synchronizes the data from Cisco
Unified Communications Manager end-user table to the LDAP database.
Cisco UserLookup Web Service
Cisco UserLookup Web service routes the commercial calls
(calls through external gateways) to an alternate internal number of the called
party in order to avoid the commercial cost of calling an external number.
If a caller within a Cisco Unified Communications Manager
network makes a call on an external number, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager checks if an internal number exists for the called party in the LDAP
database. If an internal number exists, the call is routed to that internal
number. If the internal number is not found in the LDAP database, the call is
routed to the original (external) number.

- Cisco WebDialer Web Service
- Self-Provisioning IVR
- Cisco IP Manager Assistant
This service supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Assistant. After service activation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Assistant enables managers and their assistants to work together more
effectively. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant supports two modes
of operation: proxy line support and shared line support.
The feature comprises a call-routing service, enhancements
to phone capabilities for the manager, and desktop interfaces that are
primarily used by the assistant.
The service intercepts calls that are made to managers and
routes them to selected assistants, to managers, or to other targets on the
basis of preconfigured call filters. The manager can change the call routing
dynamically; for example, by pressing a softkey on the phone, the manager can
instruct the service to route all calls to the assistant and can receive status
on these calls.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager users comprise managers
and assistants. The routing service intercepts manager calls and routes them
appropriately. An assistant user handles calls on behalf of a manager.
Cisco WebDialer Web Service
Cisco WebDialer Web Service for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Systems
Cisco Web Dialer provides click-to-dial functionality. It
allows users inside a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster to initiate
a call to other users inside or outside the cluster by using a web page or a
desktop application. Cisco Web Dialer provides a web page that enables users to
call each other within a cluster. Cisco Web Dialer comprises two components:
Web Dialer servlet and Redirector servlet.
The Redirector servlet provides the ability for third-party
applications to use Cisco Web Dialer. The Redirector servlet finds the
appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster for the Cisco Web
Dialer user and redirects the request to the Cisco Web Dialer in that cluster.
The Redirector functionality applies only for HTTP/HTML-based Web Dialer client
applications because it is not available for Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP)-based Web Dialer applications.
Cisco Web Dialer, which is used in conjunction with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, allows Cisco Unified IP Phone users to make
calls from web and desktop applications. For example, Cisco Web Dialer uses
hyperlinked telephone numbers in a company directory to allow users to make
calls from a web page by clicking on the telephone number of the person that
they are trying to call.
Self-Provisioning IVR
With the introduction of Self-Provisioning IVR Service, the
autoregistered IP phones on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager are
assigned to users quickly with less effort. When you dial the CTI RP DN, that
is configured on the Self-Provisioning page, from an extension of a user that
uses the IVR service, the phone connects to the Self-Provisioning IVR
application and prompts you to provide the Self-Service credentials. Based on
the validation of the Self-Service credentials that you provide, the IVR
service assigns the autoregistered IP phones to the users.
You can configure self-provisioning even if the service is
deactivated, but the administrator cannot assign IP phones to users using the
IVR service. By default, this service is deactivated.
To enable the Self-Provisioning IVR service, you must also
enable the Cisco CTI Manager service.
For more information about how to configure
self-provisioning, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager .

The Cisco SOAP – CDRonDemand Service, a SOAP/HTTPS-based
service, runs on the CDR Repository server. It receives SOAP requests for CDR
filename lists that are based on a user-specified time interval (up to a
maximum of 1 hour) and returns a list of filenames that fit the time duration
that is specified in the request. This service also receives requests for
delivery of a specific CDR/CMR file with the filename and the transfer method
(SFTP/FTP, server name, login info, directory) that is specified in the
request.
If you are using a third-party billing application that
accesses CDR data through an HTTPS/SOAP interface, activate this service.

apply to Cisco Unity Connection.
- Cisco CTL Provider
- Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function
(CAPF)
- Cisco CTL Provider
Cisco Unified Communications Manager only: The Cisco
Certificate Trust List (CTL) Provider service, which runs with local system
account privileges, works with the Cisco CTL Provider Utility, a client-side
plug-in, to change the security mode for the cluster from nonsecure to mixed
mode. When you install the plug-in, the Cisco CTL Provider service retrieves a
list of all Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco TFTP servers in the
cluster for the CTL file, which contains a list of security tokens and servers
in the cluster.
You can install and configure the Cisco CTL Client or the
CLI command set utils ctl, and then activate this service for the clusterwide
security mode to change from nonsecure to secure.
After you activate the service, the Cisco CTL Provider
service reverts to the default CTL port, which is 2444. If you want to change
the port, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more
information.
Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF)

Cisco Unified Communications Manager: The Cisco DirSync
service ensures that the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database stores
all user information. If you use an integrated corporate directory, for
example, Microsoft Active Directory or Netscape/iPlanet Directory, with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the Cisco DirSync service migrates the user
data to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. The Cisco DirSync
service does not synchronize the passwords from the corporate directory.
Note Users with duplicate email IDs are not
synchronized and the administrator receives no notification about the list of
users which are not synced. These IDS are shown in the DirSync error logs from
Unified RTMT.
Network Services
Installed automatically, network services include services
that the system requires to function, for example, database and platform
services. Because these services are required for basic functionality, you
cannot activate them in the Service Activation window. If necessary, for
example, for troubleshooting purposes, you may need to stop and start (or
restart) a network service in the Control Center – Network Services window.
After the installation of your application, network services
start automatically, as noted in the Control Center – Network Services window.

This service runs on all the servers, but the service on the first server has
the responsibility for issuing and reclaiming licenses.
Security Services
Cisco Trust Verification Service
Cisco Trust Verification Service is a service running on a
CallManager server or a dedicated server, that authenticates certificates on
behalf of phones and other endpoints. It associates a list of roles for the
owner of the certificate. A certificate or the owner can be associated with one
or many roles.
The protocol between phones and Trust Verification Service
allows phones to request for verification. Trust Verification Service validates
the certificate and returns a list of roles associated with it. The protocol
allows Trust Verification Service to authenticate a request and conversely, a
phone to authenticate the response from Trust Verification Service. The
protocol protects the integrity of the request and the response.
Confidentiality of the request and the response is not required.
Multiples instances of Cisco Trust Verification Service run
on different servers in the cluster to provide scalability. These servers may
or may not be the same as the ones hosting the Cisco Unified CallManager.
Phones obtain a list of Trust Verification Services in the network and connect
to one of them using a selection algorithm (example: Round Robin). If the
contacted Trust Verification Service does not respond, the phone switches to
the next Trust Verification Service in the list.
Database Services
