Custom Directory service

Question

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to create a custom directory service, that would allow me to search the directory using the first name or last name, but only among certain users, eg. those who have "dep1" written in their department field. Is that possible? I tried using the LDAPSearch component, but it doesn't seem to provide the functionality that I need.
Also, I noticed that in the default directory service "UMX.UMDefaultProviderX" is used instead of LDAPSearch, though I didn't manage to find any documentation on that one. Any information on that component would also be really helpful.
Thank you,
Cheers,
Victor

Hi Paul,
I've got another question for you ~ I'm able to pull the department info out of the DC Directory, though when I try to display the results, I get a parser error on the phone.
I know that it has to do with the fact that only "Telephone" and "Name" are defined as extensions for the CiscoIPPhoneDirectoryEntryType object, and I tried using a field called "Department". So how can I get the phone to display something that isn't defined in the schema?
If I query the CCM from a browser the directory entry comes back fine with the appropriate DepartmentNumber as configured from the CCM Admin Global Directory, though I just don't know how to get it to display it on the phone ... Any ideas?
I've attached my xmldirectorylist.asp file for reference.
Thanks in advance!
