Cisco Jabber for Windows 10.5 search Contact with two lastnames

Hey Guys,
I have a little problem with the contact search feature of the cisco jabber for windows (Version 10.5.37889)
In my environment I have some Users (secretary phones and users too) which have two lastnames.
Exampleuser1: Firstname: Thomas Lastname: Meier Cisco ....
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by lastname (Cisco) the correct contact won't be listed
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by firstname (Thomas) the correct contact will be listed
If a user is searching for Exampleuser1 by lastname (Meier) the correct contact will be listed
is there a workaround or something else for resolving my problem?
thanks for reading my question :)

Workaround: "Cisco Meier, Thomas"
Have you looked at enabling wild card searches in jabber-config.xml?

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply!
I have gone through the link but query is different actually, please assist on below query and provide any document links if possible.
1> The contacts does not appear when I perform a search
2> Do I required to integrate LDAP for same? If Yes Then Do I need to perform integration with CUCM Or IM & Presence? Or Only CUCM? Or only IM & Presence? (Please post a link to perform same)
3> Please also provide If any specific system requirement for LDAP server.
4> Is it possible without LDAP integration?
It is really urgent and every post would highly appreciate..........

Cisco Jabber for Mac - Directory Lookup and Contact Fields

Hello,
After having issues myself with Cisco Jabber for Mac 9.2 specifically with Active Directory lookups not working, or contact information not populating (and therefore not being able to call users from the contact list as no telephone information exists) I am including a sample jabber-config.xml file that works for me.
Please note: there are many different ways to configure this. What I will be showing is the method that works for me and my deployment, which is pretty standard.
As always and as a disclaimer, once again, this is what has worked for my deployment scenario. Always keep backups of your configuration files, and always be mindful of anything you have configured already, especially in the jabber-config.xml file.
Background
My deployment is based on CUCM 9, with 1 publisher and 2 subscribers. I also have a CUCM IM & Presence 9.0 server. This assumes that you have already configured your deployment and Jabber is functioning already, albeit with the aforementioned issues.
As for Active Directory, my deployment will be based on Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers running in native 2008 mode. For this example, we will be searching directly against one of the DCs with a Global Catalogue role. Please be aware that in large deployments you will have to plan accordingly with regards to lookup traffic from Jabber clients to the DCs.
Also, as of Cisco Jabber for Mac 9, the client no longer can search via the CUCM internal directory (which may be made of local end users, Active Directory synced users, or a mix of both) and this must be done via a LDAP mechanism.
Scenario
In this deployment scenario, Cisco Jabber for Windows is working properly - you can search and add people from Active Directory, and contacts in your contact list have all the appropriate fields populated from Active Directory. However, when trying the same with Jabber for Mac, Jabber for iPhone or Jabber for iPad you notice that you cannot perform a directory lookup, and if you add people directly (for example, [email protected]) the user only has the IM field populated. No telephone, email or additional information is displayed.
Solution
Whereas Cisco Jabber for Windows uses the EDI mechanism (native Windows), whereby when running from a computer that is on the domain (or in the event that you are search for contacts in another Active Directory domain where a domain trust exists) , Jabber for Mac / iPhone / iPad uses the BDI mechanism.
In this case, you will need to provision a jabber-config.xml file that you will upload to your TFTP server (or Publisher) that will be "downloaded" by your Jabber for Mac client and also used by the iPhone and iPad client. You can configure many options in the jabber-config.xml file, but for this example we will place just the information that we need to order for these clients to request and display Active Directory information.
Please note that the configuration may vary depending on your deployment, but at the very least we will be:
- Configuring a DC where we will perform the lookup.
- Configure credentials that will be used to perform the lookup. This will be an Active Directory account that has read rights on the Active Directory domain. Please note that these credentials are saved in plain text in the file, so ensure that the account that you will be using is not privileged.
- Configure the server port that we will be using to perform the lookup.
- Configure the Search Base. This is basically where we want the directory lookup to happen. You can either choose for this lookup to start at the "base" of the domain (and therefore the search will iterate through all the user accounts and and OUs below the root base) or define a specific OU where you want to search.
Caution!
- There is a current limitation with Cisco Jabber for Mac whereby you can only have 1 search base configured. Please keep this in mind if, like me, you have multiple OUs (like an OU for each company in your organization) and under these OUs you have sub OUs as a user account container.
- If using the top level search base, unless you specify a filter, you will potentially be able to search for all user accounts in the domain. You will need to configure the <BDIBaseFilter> parameter if you want to fine tune your search ability.
Steps
These are the steps I have followed. Other steps or considerations may vary.
- Log in to your TFTP server and download the jabber-config.xml file and keep it as a backup. If you are already using the jabber-config.xml file for other purposes, do not worry - you can add your BDI information parameters inside.
- Remove the jabber-config.xml file
- Edit the jabber-config.xml file and configure thus:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>DOMAIN CONTROLLER IP ADDRESS</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>YOUR PRESENCE DOMAIN</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>YOUR SEARCH BASE</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>PASSWORD</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
For example, let´s assume the following:
- Domain controller IP address is 10.1.1.2 .
- Your presence domain is test.local .
- Your search base will be test.local using the top level of the domain.
- Your username with which you will be doing your searches is called walt . Usually you can either identify walt as test.local\walt or [email protected] . It is always best, in these sort of scenarios, to use the UPN convention so we will be configuring a [email protected] .
- The password is the Active Directory password for the account walt .
- I have disabled TLS in my case. There are issues with the Jabber for Mac client when using other security methods.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
    <Directory>
        <DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
        <BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
        <BDIPrimaryServerName>10.1.1.2</BDIPrimaryServerName>
        <BDIPresenceDomain>test.local</BDIPresenceDomain>
        <BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
        <BDISearchBase1>DC=test,DC=local</BDISearchBase1>
       <BDIConnectionUsername>[email protected]</BDIConnectionUsername>
        <BDIConnectionPassword>walt01!</BDIConnectionPassword>
        <BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
   </Directory>
</config>
One you have configured the jabber-config.xml file, you will now need to upload it to you TFTP server. Once uploaded, you will need to restart the Cisco TFTP service. Again, my TFTP server is on my CUCM publisher, so:
- I go to Cisco Unified OS Administration on my Publisher server, TFTP File Management and I upload jabber-config.xml to / directory
- I then go to Cisco Unified Serviceability on my Publisher server, I locate the Cisco TFTP service and I restart the service
Once this is done, you can figure up your Jabber for Mac client. As a test, on your Mac (using Terminal) go to:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Cisco/Unified Communications/Jabber/Config
In here you will see several files, but what we want to see is jabber-config.xml . As soon as you start the Jabber for Mac client and log in, the jabber-config.xml file will download from your TFTP server and get saved here. When you see it appear, just type in your terminal window more jabber-config.xml and make sure that the output is the same as the xml file you created.
From there, try doing directory search. If you have previously added contacts and they still lack attribute information, you will need to remove them (sometimes it will not refresh properly) and add them again from the directory.
I will be updating this guide and ammending anything that is incorrect, but this is meant to be a quick checklist and steps to get this, at least in the most very basic version, up and running for Jabber for Mac.

Hello,
Thanks for this post! It works, I can do lookup and also I can add found contact to contact list and get information about contact from LDAP.
One more question: - I can't get all information about contact. I don't get e.c mobile phone number and more others attributes. I have tried to expand your file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>BDI</DirectoryServerType>
<BDILDAPServerType>AD</BDILDAPServerType>
<BDIPrimaryServerName>IP of AD</BDIPrimaryServerName>
<BDIPresenceDomain>Presence Domain</BDIPresenceDomain>
<BDIServerPort1>3268</BDIServerPort1>
<BDISearchBase1> Search Base</BDISearchBase1>
<BDIConnectionUsername>User</BDIConnectionUsername>
<BDIConnectionPassword>Password</BDIConnectionPassword>
<BDIEnableTLS>0</BDIEnableTLS>
       <BDISipUri>msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress</BDISipUri>
       <BDIPhotoSource>thumbnailPhoto</BDIPhotoSource>
       <BDIBusinessPhone>telephoneNumber</BDIBusinessPhone>
       <BDIMobilePhone>mobile</BDIMobilePhone>
       <BDIHomePhone>homePhone</BDIHomePhone>
       <BDIOtherPhone>otherTelephone</BDIOtherPhone>
       <BDITitle>title</BDITitle>
       <BDICompanyName>company</BDICompanyName>

       <BDICity>l</BDICity>
       <BDIState>st</BDIState>
       <BDIStreetAddress>streetAddress</BDIStreetAddress>
</Directory>
</config>
But it didn't help.
When I capture lookup via Wireshark, I can see that Jabbers sends search request with bunch of attributes, but from LDAP answer contains only 8 attributes. (see attached screenshots)

Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact Away status doesn't show duration

.Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact "Away" status doesn't show duration. I am wondereing if it is possible with Cisco Jabber client. Microsoft OCS client used to show.

Hi,
This is currently not supported in Jabber.
If you think that this feature should be in Jabber, you can open a TAC case and do Enchancment request with them?

Cisco Jabber for Windows - Anti-Virus Software

Hello,
Cisco Jabber for Windows could not resolve outlook contacts, when a client has installed McAffee Anti-Virus Software.
Is there any documentation available, how to setup a Anti-Virus Software, to get Cisco Jabber for Windows running?
Cisco Jabber for Windows Version 9.2.4 Build 4528
Outlook 2013
Thanks
Alex

this is all what we mention about antivirus; http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_2/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup_chapter_00.html
Some antivirus or firewall applications, such as Symantec EndPoint Protection, block inbound CDP packets, which disables desk phone video capabilities. You should configure your antivirus or firewall application to allow inbound CDP packets. See the following Symantec technical document for additional details about this issue: Cisco IP Phone version 7970 and Cisco Unified Video Advantage is Blocked by Network Threat Protection.
with that being said; we probably would like to get the jabber process excluded from the antivirus list so that it allows for inbound MAPI communication as that is what is used for quering for the outlook contact.
The only process that ever runs from Jabber for windows is "CiscoJabber.exe" which is located in the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber
i hope this helps.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Voicemail issue

At this I'm in processing of implementation Cisco Jabber UC solution for big Company.
I use CUCM 9.1.2, Cisco IM and Presence 9.1.2, CUC 9.1.2, Cisco Jabber for Windows 9.6.1.
I have issue in Cisco Jabber with VoiceMail Integration - when I leave voice message for any user,
than this message is arrived only him Cisco IP Phone, but not in him Cisco Jabber.
From Cisco Jabber Connectivity status in help menu I see that VoiceMail service is successfully connected
and I see VoiceMail button in Cisco Jabber.
How can I resolve this issue?

Have you configured the UC Service profile on CUCM with both Voicemail server and mailbox servers?

Call/video not working between Cisco jabber for Windows and VCS control C40s

Hello,
I've been struggling with no luck how to make a call using Cisco Jabber for Windows 9.6.0 registered to CM 8.6.2 with intercluster ICT to another CM 8.6.2 where we have a VCS Control 7.0.2 via GK H225, and all C40s are registered as H.323.
The VCS has interworking between H323 and SIP, however not sure if there is any problem with that. Assuming it is ok, not sure either if I'm facing any interoperability issue because in my remote site I have C40 (H323 registered at VCS and SIP listening mode) and cisco jabber for windows which is SIP based.
If is not possible, would I be able to change my C40 from H323 to SIP at VCS, or have both H323/SIP registered at VCS? If so, will I need to change as well instead of GK I'll have to establish a SIP Trunk between the CM and VCS?
Another thing I do not believe either I would be able to have one VCS connected with two clusters, right?
I'm just trying to find a solution in case my current topology is not compatible, but feel free if you have any better idea to make it work.
Anyway here is what is happening:
When I make a call from my cisco jabber windows to C40 using alias number. The call is being redirected just fine to the C40 and it rings, however when someoene or the auto answer picks it up, the call dropped right away.
However, if I enabled the MTP in my CSF device, the call gets longer before dropping. I was even able to see my jabber " start video" turns green, before was grayed out all the time and the call dropped faster. I hear a fast busy tone.
I'm able to provide SDI traces, logs, diagnostic sip/h323 calls from VCS in order to know for sure if this is an incompatible issue or something I can workaround.
Let me know if someone of you are interested in read these logs or could point me on the right direction.
Thanks!

Ok,
I have looked at both logs. I have to mentinon though that you didnt
provide the log that shows the h323 setup between cucm and the VCS. This
is most likely because the call originated from a different cucm than
the ones you provided the logs from.
The call would have orginated from the first cucm in the cucm group of
this trunk: Name=RL_TRUNK_VIDEO
The cucm ip will be : 10.252.53.10.
This is the VCS log that confirms where the h323 request originated

Cisco Jabber for Windows User Photos

CUPS 8.6.3
Jabber Client for Windows Version 9.0.1 Build 8802
I noticed that the Cisco Jabber for Windows Client does not automatically update with the photos that updated in Active Directory.
I had updated a user's photo in AD and noticed that it would not change. I browsed to "C:\Users\<user name>\App Data\Local\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Photos" and had to manually delete the user photos in this folder. I exited out of the Jabber Client and restarted the program. When I did this, the Jabber Client crashed, I saved the crash report, and re-opend the Jabber client. This time the client opened properly, and the updated photos were now appearing!
Seems like Cisco would not have set the photos to Cache to the local computer....
Any thoughts?

Yes, Here is a sample .xml script.

Cisco Jabber for Windows in Extend and Connect mode and making outbound calls

Hi guys,
I've set up Cisco Jabber for Windows to use Extend and Connect to control a remote PBX endpoint. I've configured the required CTI-RD device, remote destinations, associated the users to the line and added the devices to end-user controlled device. The extend and connect part is working flawlessly without any issues. I'm able to receive inbound calls on the remote PBX endpoint and control the call (hold, resume, transfer etc.) using the Jabber call window that pops up.
However, I'm unable to make any outbound calls via the Jabber client when in extend and Connect mode. Reading the Extend and Connect guide, I need to configure Dial Via Office (DVO) Reverse. So when the user initiates a Dial-Via-Office reverse call, CUCM calls and connect to the Extend and Connect device (CTI-RD). CUCM then calls and connects to the number the user dialled and finally connects the two call legs.
After attempting to configure DVO-R for Jabber for Windows in Extend and Connect mode following the CUCM feature services guide, i'm unable to get any outbound calls working. From RTMT, i am receiving the following Termination Cause Code: (27) Destination out of order. What i also notice is that there is no calling number for that trace either. I would've thought that the calling party would've been the Enterprise Feature Access (EFA) number.
Has anyone got this working or can provide some guidance?
Thanks.

Cisco Jabber for Windows always shows "Away"

Cisco Jabber for Windows (9.0.1, CUPS 8.6.4, UCM 8.6.2, Exchange 2010) always shows status as "Away" for one user. Others seem to be working correctly showing "one the phone", "in a meeting", etc. Tried reinstalling client with no change. If you manually change to "Available", it changes right back to "Away". Anyone have an idea where to look (registry, logs, etc.)?

I am seeing the same problem. I haven't tried a different user to login on the same machine, but I did try closing my client on my primary machine (exited) and then logged in on a different computer with a fresh Jabber for Windows install.
I am running Jabber for Windows Version 9.0.2 Build 9453 on windows 7 64bit primarily, and Windows XP as the second test. Running CUPS 8.6.4 in HA over WAN cluster mode with CUCM 7.1.5 and Unity Connection 8.5.1 ES 16.
Phone presence information does still flow through when I pick up my phone hand set my status changes from Away to On a Call.
When I check the presence diagnostic test for my user, it also reports that I am away.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

Jabber for Windows 10.5 shows contacts from Address Book multiple times?

What would cause Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 to show a contact multiple times from the address book when searching? See attached screenshot.

I tried removing firefox and rebooting/reinstalling Jabber with no luck. I reimaged my machine and loaded 10.5.2 fresh install with no previous versions and still getting the random crash. Also, I have users who say it has crashed on them during a WebEx and have had installation problems when upgrading from 9.x to 10.5.x. Version 9 is very solid, sticking with 9.7.5. I have about 10% of my test users having varying problems with version 10.5.x, waiting till the next release. Hopefully Cisco will spend a few more weeks testing the next one before publishing it on their site.
--edit--
Also, when you finally get frustrated and want to downgrade, Jabber 10.5.x doesn't uninstall completely and you end up with an error like the image attached when you try to install v9.7.5 for example and can't install Jabber even after rebooting. I had to run Microsoft Fix It install/Uninstall option and tell it to uninstall Jabber before Windows allowed me to install an older version of Jabber. Not too happy with this release. Strange enough though, some of my users have the exact same laptop I do, same windows build, same patches, etc, and it works fine for them. Anyway, not deploying this one. Good luck.

Jabber for Windows 9.1 external contact adding

I have a Jabber for Windows 9.1 deployment, and I can't add external contacts. The external contacts in this case are on a federated OCS deployment with the same LDAP. If I add them in the user options page and restart they work fine. My LDAP searches only return the local jabber domain directory.
Anyway, a quick look around shows me that adding external contacts in Jabber 9.0 was not supported, but it was supposed to be added in 9.1. Is this not the case?

Yeah the problem is that that will add the local jabber IM address rather than the LDAP one since the user exists in both directories.
e.g. jabber domain = tst.local
OCS = test.com
if you add the [email protected] as a contact then it will replace it with [email protected]
If you add [email protected] in the user options page and restart jabber it works

No Audio on either end Cisco Jabber for Windows over Cisco AnyConnect

Our telephony staff is replacing our aging/unsupported VoIP system with a Cisco system and as the network tech, I'm trying to get Jabber for Windows to work over our AnyConnect VPN client. Jabber to Cisco phone and Jabber to Jabber calls work fine within our LAN.
However, when I take a laptop to a separate internet connection and connect to the network via the VPN, I can't get any audio to pass across the system, in either direction. If I call a phone on our LAN using the Jabber client (via AnyConnect), the phone rings and when I answer it, it's just dead air on both ends. If I reverse the process, calling from the phone to the Jabber client, the same thing, Jabber client rings, but dead air both ways once I answer.
Things I can do from the laptop over the VPN connection:
I'm able to get to the phone's web interface using that same laptop.
I can ping the phone as well. In fact, the VPN profile I'm using has full access to the entire VoIP Vlan including all IP traffic (all ~65,000 ports).
Searching the address book also works fine. I can search for staff and it's pulling directly from our Active Directory environment.
Is there any special settings on the firewall that I need to setup to allow the voice traffic (which I assume is RTP traffic)? I tried to add a service policy for RTP traffic, but that didn't seem to work...unless I built it wrong.
Jabber for Windows - 10.6.0
Cisco Anyconnect - 3.1.06079
Cisco 5515-x ASA - 9.2

I was able to resolve this on my own. I thought that SIP traffic needed to be inspected via the global inspection policy in order for it to pass through the firewall. I ran into the same issue with ICMP traffic from an Anyconnect client to LAN devices. I had to enable ICMP in that policy for us to be able to ping LAN devices over the VPN tunnel. So when I saw that SIP was already being inspected by this policy, I moved on looking for other solutions. Then I stumbled deep within a Google search (almost hit the end of the Internet doing so) where someone mentioned that SIP shouldn’t be inspected by that policy. So I unchecked it and bam! Voice is now working over the anyconnect client to phones on the LAN.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Certificate Issues

Hi,
I have configured a Cisco Jabber with device security mode "Encrypted". Once I use this mode I am getting a error message in Cisco Jabber as:
"The certificate enrollment for secure computer calling has not been activated. Contact your system administrator."
The softphone feature is not working because of this.
Do you have any fix for this issue?
Thanks,
VJ

Hi Jonathan,
I have one more issue with Cisco Jabber using authentication string. The authentication string works fine with the Jabber and softphone functionality is working.
Now the problem is: if the single user has two Jabber clients, one installed on laptop and second on desktop, the authentication string window is presented to the jabber client which logs in first. For example is I login from my laptop the window pops up to enter the authentication string. But now when I open the Jabber on my desktop it doesn't give me option to enter the authentication string and the softphone doesn't work.
Thanks,
Vaijanath
