Cisco Jabber Client for Linux

Are there any plans to have a Cisco Jabber client on linux?

Mike,
The larger body of use case and development for Jabber has centered on Windows and mobile iOS and Android devices. That's not to say that there isn't a contingency of customers that want a Linux client but, as of today, there is no "Jabber" client for that platform. However, I've heard this question asked in a few different forums and the answer thus far has typically been one or both of the following:
1) There is a Jabber SDK, which could potentially be used to custom develop an application.
2) Use 3rd-party XMPP client (e.g. Pidgin)
As for an official answer on "will there be in the future" with a yes/no/maybe and/or a possible timeframe, you would need to reach out to Cisco or your trusted partner as roadmap items cannot be discussed without having a non-disclosure agreement in place. That's what Jamie is getting at in his response.

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

Is there really a Cisco VPN client for Linux? _Really?_

Hello folks,
        I've finally after almost experiencing a brain aneurysm by trying to think too hard got my Cisco 881-SEC-K9 router properly configured for a multipoint IPSec VPN tunnel to my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, so that hurdle is finally passed and I actually feel it was a very important milestone in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non-stink... erm.. I mean, non-linksys router. Now I just can't seem to find a 'client' VPN program for Linux. I'm currently running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it's the only Linux distribution that completes all of my strenous requirements in a Linux server environment. It's also the most mature, and secure Linux on this planet, making it the most appreciable Linux distribution for my research needs. Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a basic Linux server environment, and OpenVPN is just too confusing to comprehend for my tiny little head. I've heard mention of some mysterious "Easy VPN" but after hours of digging online can't find any information about it, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page Not Found error. I do see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is that an actual VPN client, or just an API? It seems to want my money to download it but I don't have any money nor do I really know what it is because it's all secretive-like, closed source, and I can't even find a simple README file on it explaining what it is exactly. I'm just an out-of-work software developer trying to connect to my home router for personal use and I can't really afford to fork over a million and a half dollars for a single program that I'm only going to need to download once in my lifetime that should have been included with the router in the first place. I more than likely won't even be able to figure out how to use the program anyways because I don't know anything about VPN connections which is why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the not-for-profit open source, volunteer research I'm presently trying to conduct. Is there some kind of evaluation or trial period for personal use? That would be really nice so I could at least figure out if I'm going to be able to figure it out or not. I hate throwing money away when it's in such short supply these days. There's really no alternative to a Cisco router. It's an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so trying to settle for something else and going on with my life is not really an option. No, this is something I just need to face head on and get it over with.
<Rant>
       Maybe I have a little too much crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn how to do something for personal reference, it's not really a skill I would ever use otherwise. Wouldn't it be great if Cisco made their VPN client open source and free to the public to use and modify, to improve on, to learn and to grow and bring the whole world closer together as a community? Even the source code to the old discontinued Cisco VPN client could be used as a valuable learning tool for some poor starving college student or Open Source Software developer somewhere trying to get by on Ramen Noodles and Ramen Noodle Sauce on Toast (don't tell me you never thought about it). Through the ripple effect, It would drastically improve sales over the course of time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where those who previously could not afford to participate now could. That's the true power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled work force for the future by openly contributing and sharing knowledge together. What if the next big internet technology and the solution to world tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - were locked in the mind of an unemployed software developer who couldn't afford to upgrade their cisco router software or access the software they needed because it was closed source and required committing to an expensive service contract to download? That would be just terrible, wouldn't it? I guess there's no way to ever know for sure. I suppose I'd be just as happy if some kind soul out there could point me to an easy to use alternative to an always on VPN connection that runs in the background which doesn't require NetworkManager or having to spend days upon days digging through and trying to comprehend either some really poor or extremely complex documentation? I apologize for all the run on sentences posed as questions, but I've just got some serious mental burnout from all of this, being unemployed is some hard work folks. I could really use a vacation. Perhaps a camping trip to the coast is in order after I get this working, that sounds nice, doesn't it? Nothing like a good summer thunder storm on the ocean beach - far away from technology - to refresh the mind.
</Rant>

I do tend to talk too much and I don't mince any words either. What I am however, is really appreciative for the help. I know you hear that all the time, but you have no idea how much time and headache you just saved me. I think vpnc might be just what I've been looking for, unless someone can think of a client for Linux that I might be able to throw a little further. I'm very security minded now, after the backlash of Blackhat 2013, there's no telling which direction the internet might head next. Oh, you didn't hear? Well wether they realize it or not, DARPA basically declared war with other government agencies by releasing their own version of a spy program for civilians to use against the whoever -- possibly even the governmnet itself. They even went so far as to suggest it's private usage to blanket entire cities in information gathering. Civilians are a powerful foe, as they are not bound by the oath of office, any evidence they obtain is admissible in court, wether they know that or not. There's a very important reason for that. It's to prevent another civil war from ever happening, we shed enough blood the first time around less people forgot. It's something that can and will be avoided because our civilization has advanced beyond the need for bloodshed. The courts have to obey the majority rule, no matter what. For the first time in history, cyberwarfare can reach into the physical world to cause serious damage to physical structures like the nuclear facility incident in Iran. There's scarry bills trying to sneak through congress that are changing the landscape of technology forever for the entire world. We're at a pivotal point now where things can happen. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade or so. No matter which way you look at it, just be preparerd to sell a whole lot of routers.

Cisco Jabber Client for Windows 9.7 Can't Connect to Other IPSec VPN Clients Over Clustered ASAs

Environment:
2 x ASA 5540s (at two different data centers) configured as a VPN Load Balancing Cluster
Both ASAs are at version 8.4(5)6
IPSec VPN Client version: 5.0.07.440 (64-bit)
Jabber for Windows v9.7.0 build 18474
Issue:
If I am an IPSec VPN user…
I can use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the same ASA appliance.
I can’t use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the different ASA appliance that I am connected to.
In the hub-and-spoke design, where the VPN ASA is a hub, and the VPN client is a spoke; if you have two hubs clustered together, how does one spoke communicate with another spoke on the other hub in the cluster? (How to allow hairpinning to the other ASA)

Portu,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the ASA logs nor would I be permitted to turn on the debug settings asked for above. I might be able to get the logs but it will take awhile and I suspect they wouldn't be helpful as this ASA supports thousands of clients, therefore, separating out my connection attempts from other clients would be difficult.
I can, though, do whatever you want on the Linux router. Looking over the firewall logs at the time of this problem, I don't see anything that looks suspicious such as dropped packets destined for the Windows client.
As I said in my original post, I'm not a networking expert - by any means - but I am willing to try anything to resolve this. (But I might need a bit of handholding if I need to set up a wireshark andor tcpdump.)
Thanks again.

Cisco jabber client for anroid

Dear All;
I have created android user under cucm and it works fine only one time if disconnected never connected until i restart all the phone services then it reconnect. I also tested the same on different android phone problem is same.
Kindly suggest me what could me the issue. I am enclosing the pdf document through which i created android users.

Assuming you mean Jabber Voice 9.1(5) for Android.
Your phone is not listed as supported handset; the fragmenetation of the Android platform tends to lead to unreliable behavior on most handsets. The release notes stipulate what is supported.
What do the logs from the client or a packet capture from the CUCM server show when the client is attempting to reconnect?

A list of supported Android Phones for Cisco Jabber Client.

Hi there,
I opened a discussion before about the Cisco Jabber Client for Android phones.
This product from Cisco is only official support bij a several mobile Android telephones. (very poor)
As everyone knows is that the mobile market is continious in development. Since a half year the official support phone list is still the same, but a lot of new Adroid phones are now on the market.
It's even so worse that some of the Cisco supported phones, are not available anymore in the market.
- Samsung Galaxy S2 becomes a Samsung Galaxy S3
- Samsung Galaxy TAB is still there
- Samsung Galaxy S (are not available anymore) The S1 or S Plus are now becoming the Samsung Galaxy S Advanced.
At what are the alternatives?
Still the list on the documentation is out-dated.
See:
Samsung Galaxy S International (GT-I9000) with Android operating system (OS) Version 2.2.1 or 2.3
Samsung Galaxy Tab International (GT-P1000) with Android 2.2.1 or 2.3
Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T) with Android 2.3
To use Cisco Jabber for Android on the Samsung Galaxy S device, it is important that you upgrade your handset OS to Android Version 2.2.1 or 2.3. See the manufacturer/carrier site for more information about how to update the OS on your device. Minor voice quality issues may be experienced depending on the device used.
So hopefully Cisco is still working on the Cisco Jabber solution, and a lot of mobile Android phones will be supported so the road to success will be open.
Hopefully someone can help me to list of tested and supported phones (Official bij Cisco)
Kind regards,
Edgar

The official list of tested Android phones is what you've already discovered. With the next release of Cisco Jabber for Android, I'm sure it will be updated.
While the official list of what we tested is short, the client will work on many Android devices and TAC will provide support if you run into technical issues; provided the issue is with the Cisco Jabber client itself, and not with the OS of the manufacturer.
If there is a specific Android phone you are looking to have officially tested by Cisco, PM me with that information and I'll work with you to see what we can do to get it added.

Jabber Client for CME license

i have CME 2921 ISR router and i need to implement cisco jabber client for 50 user
is this needs a license or not
if yes, please provide me how to orser it and what is its part number
thank you very much

If you are going to use Jabber, that counts like a regular SIP Phone, just like 7945, or 99XX phones, you don't need an additional license:

Cisco Jabber client with other telephony devices

Hi,
I am completely new to Jabber and just started to understand Cisco jabber client for windows.
I understood that the jabber client supports xmpp for IM and CTI integration with Cisco Call manager for call control.
Is there a provision to integrate the jabber client to non-Cisco devices like Avaya or nortel or an ITS Netrix turret?
Integrate direct or indirect - as in with a plugin
Please do direct to any available documentation that would help
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to Jabber! Yes, the client supports XMPP and CTI.
And yes you can use your existing Avaya / Nortel phones using a Cisco UC feature called Extend and Connect. No plugin required! It allows Jabber to CTI control any phone with a dialable number, including public phones. You can read more about the Extend and Connect feature here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/9_1_1/ccmfeat/CUCM_BK_C3E0EFA0_00_cucm-features-services-guide-91_chapter_0110010.pdf
To configure it for Jabber for Windows you can follow these instructions:

Unable to select 'Use Phone for audio calls' on Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for Windows

Hi,
I have recently deployed Cisco Presence Server and integrated with Call Manager 9.1.2. I have successfully deplyed 6700 users on IM & Presence. Some of the users requested for Cisco Jabber with phone control.
I have added CFS client on the Call Manager and associated it with the same extension numbers from their desk phones. I am currently able to make audio and video calls for these specific users. I am currently using Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for windows. I have users both daisy chained to their desk phones and who are not. Can you please confirm if it does make any difference.
Problem Faced -
I am not able to use to option use phone for audio calls. The phone comes down with a cross sign on it. At the same time Cisco Jabber by default uses the client and it works as expected.
Can you please let me know if any of you guys have faced a similar issue.
Please let me know if you need any information regading the configuration used.
Looking forward for your valuable comments.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joseph Chirayath.

Hi Will,
I am attaching the screen shot for the END USER on CUCM 9.X that has been configured on Cisco Jabber.
Please do let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.

Unable to Externally Register Phone Services on Cisco Jabber Client via Expressway E

Hi,
I have currently deployed Cisco Jabber along with Expressway C and E for external regeneration without VPN. I have successfully registered IM and Presence service externally on the internet and I am able to chat with other Jabber users.
I am not able to register phone services for Cisco Jabber client who are registering externally over the internet without VPN.
I have checked that all the users are able to use IM and Presence along with Phone services in the internal network and over the internet using VPN. I have configured the required DNS SRV records on both the internal and external DNS Servers.
I am attaching a screen shot of the Jabber Client that is registered over the internet along with this post for your reference.
Appreciate if you can share your thoughts on the same.
Please do let me know if you need any further informaiton.
Thank you.
Regards,
Joseph Chirayath.

I am testing with an android device, and I had to add a "digest user" on the BOT device in order for this to work. Phone services are now connected.

Cisco Jabber Client - QoS Config

Hi Guys,
I'll be deploying the new jabber client for a customer and i'm unsure of what QoS to configure on the switch ports for end users. Users will also have 7942 handsets, so if i configure auto qos voip cisco-phone, I doubt this will protect the voice/video for Jabber.
Has anyone got any config or tips they can share?
Cheers,
James

Hi,
I believe you can use "auto qos voip cisco-softphone"
Please see below QOS SRND.

Jabber Client for Windows video not working with ManyCam

Hi everyone. We've been kicking around the Cisco Jabber client and I've noticed a small issue when it comes to video. I use a software package called ManyCam (http://www.manycam.com/) which creates a web cam that allows me to put effects on my actual web cam's video feeds. Primarily I use it when I'm in a remote office and have a video stream back to the main office I can put effects on the screen like "On a conference call" and such so people won't get upset when they approach me and I fail to respond to them. I use it with other applications just fine but with Cisco Jabber (v9.2.0 Build 496) when I attempt to set it the ManyCam camera as the video source in the video configuration of Cisco Jabber the preview doesn't appear. As well when I connect to another Cisco Jabber user they do not see my video stream.
Anyone else notice this? Or does anyone else have a link to some similar software that will give me equivalent functionality to ManyCam that works with Cisco Jabber?
Thanks!

Only if they are on a Mac using iChat(gmail account).
