By default, AppManager uses the ccmadmin account to access Unified Communications data. If you do not want to use the ccmadmin account, you can set up a new user in a new user group and then configure that group with read-only permission for AppManager. After configuring the new user group, configure the new information in AppManager Security Manager, and then run Discovery_CiscoUCM on the primary Unified Communications Manager server.
To allow AppManager to access Unified Communications server data, create a new user and assign the user to a new access control group.
To configure a new user:
Navigate to the Administration Web site of your primary Unified Communications server.
In the Username and Password fields, type your user name and password, and then click Submit.
From the Cisco Unified application Web page, select Application User from the User Management menu, and then click Add New.
In the User ID field, type netiq.
In the Password and Confirm Password fields, type a password for the new user and then click Save.
On the Cisco Unified application Web page, select Access Control Group from the User Management menu, and then click Find.
In the Search Results panel, click the Copy icon in the Standard CCM Read Only row.
In the Explorer User Prompt dialog box, type NetIQ CUM Read Only and then click OK.
Click Add Application Users to Group and then click Find.
Select netiq and then click Add Selected.
On the Cisco Unified application Web page, select Access Control Group from the User Management menu.
In the NetIQ CCM Read Only row, click the Roles icon.
Click Assign Role to Group and then click Find.
Select Standard AXL API Access and then click Add Selected.
On the Cisco Unified application Web page, confirm the NetIQ CCM Read Only group is assigned to the following roles:
Standard CCM Admin Users
Standard CCMADMIN Read Only
Standard SERVICEABILITY Read Only
Standard AXL API Access
After you create a new user in a new access control group, add the new user name and password in AppManager Security Manager.
