Defined Groups for Cisco Jabber Group Chat

I dont think it is possible based upon this document but wondering if anyone knew any secrets out there. Is it possible to create predefined groups in Jabber for Windows preferably as defined in Active Directory or on the client side? We want to have chat groups automatically created for Sales, Engineering, etc. so users dont have to add other chat recipients users manually and can reach any engineering team member without knowing who is actually part of the engineering team for example.

Hi,
Jabber for Windows 9.7 supports Persistent Chat end user participation.
Our next Release, 10.5 will add Room Administration and Moderator features, including room creation.
Persistent Chat Rooms
Users in your organization can use persistent chat rooms to share ideas and information in a chat room. The chat rooms look like group chats, except that the chat rooms stay active even after participants leave the room. When participants come back to the room, they can scroll back to read the messages that they missed.
Participants can manage their chat rooms by browsing the existing rooms and joining open rooms, or being added to a room by an administrator. When they are in the chat rooms, participants can create mentions for other users, which notifies the mentioned user if they are a member of the room. They can also search chat rooms for particular keywords or senders by creating filters.
Administrator tasks include creating, configuring, and deleting chat rooms, and adding or removing users from chat rooms. In this release, chat room administration and moderation must be performed with a client that supports persistent chat room administration. Cisco Jabber for Windows will provide administrative capabilities in a future release.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Version 10 is a software prerequisite for persistent chat rooms.
For end user information about persistent chat rooms, see the chapter on Chats in the Advanced Feature Guide.
For administrator information about enabling persistent chat rooms, see the Installation and Configuration Guide and the Server Setup Guide.

  • Softphone feature for Cisco Jabber Client

    Hello everyone,
    I have a CUCM cluster v.8.6.2 and a CUPS v.8.6.4. I've installed my full CUWL licenses as well as my CUP Licenses AND the Jabber for Everyone COP file. I've managed to install Jabber on Mac and on Windows and have all the features such as Chat, Desktop phone integration and Visual Voicemail with Cisco Unity Connection working as well. The only feature I'm having a huge hassle getting to work is the Softphone feature. I've tried adding a CUPC device with the user (btw everything is integrated and uses LDAP for authentication) as the digest account for it as well as the Owner ID. I've tried adding a CSF device as well (I remember reading it somewhere) but the Jabber client never discovers a Softphone device and all of the options on the client are grayed out for me to put in the device settings. I thought I saw it once looking for a device name CSFACILLI (ACILLI being my username) in the System Diagnostics for the Jabber for Mac client but now it just shows:
       Soft Phone Server
    Server Address:           cucm02.mycompany.net
    Server Port:                     2748
    Server Protocol:           --
    Device:                               --

    Any help or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    It looks like it's trying to get CTLFile.tlv from my TFTP servers (which are my subscribers). I went under TFTP File Management under OS Administration on the Subscribers and no such file exists. Is this something I have to download from Cisco? It does look like it's trying for the correct device, just can't get the Configuration File it needs... Your thoughts?

  • Device Name for Cisco Jabber

    I found a document on Jabber Developer that explains all steps for the Cisco Jabber CUCM Setup Guide (http://developer.cisco.com/web/jabber-developer/jabber-sdk-cucm-guide), the phone type must be Cisco Unified Client Services Framework, everything fine, but says that the Device Name should be as ECP<username> when original setup guides says that must be as CSF<username>.
    My users setup Device Name are as CSF<username>, but just to follow a best practice, should I change all Device Names to ECP<username>??
    Regards,
    Juan Carlos Arias

    There's another thread on which someone mentioned some problems when using ECP for device name. Windows for jabber method of operation is the name of it. Do you have any configs using ECP??
    Since I already have this in m lab working as expected i'll configure a couple of users with ECP and see if something changes, just wondering if you have something configured with ECP already.

  • 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.

  • Manually start RADIUS, Authentication and groups for Cisco ASAs

    I am testing moving a 10.7 server to 10.8.
    We have used RADIUS to authenticate VPN traffic on our Cisco ASAs in the past.  In the past Server Admin allowed for our ASAs to be added manually to the list of devices using the service.  With Server Admin being removed and the limited funtionality of automated addition of Airports to the system I have no GUI method to get our ASAs into the service.  The ability to tell RADIUS which groups are using the service is no longer available in the GUI as well.
    I have found the clients file in /etc/raddb and added our ASAs to the clients list.  I believe I have done this correctly in accordance with the instructions on the freeRADIUS website.
    I need help with:
    1- I was hoping someone knows how to manually tell RADIUS which groups are permitted to use the service.
    2- Can anyone tell me how to turn on RADIUS?  radiusconfig -start appears to only tell the system to keep it on after a restart if i understand the manual page.
    Thanks

    With David's suggestion I was able to get RADIUS running.  The following assumes that you are comfortable with Terminal and would be able to back up any files you edit.  Here is what I did to our fresh installation of 10.8 Server:
    In Terminal enter "sudo radiusd -Xx" which tries to turn RADIUS on and runs it with full logging of activity in the window.  The last line after this entry should be something similar to "Ready to process records."  In our new installtion there were errors relating to "instantiating" sql and the ready message never came.
    In Terminal enter "sudo pico /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf" and authenticate as needed.  Scroll down in the file to the section where there are "instantiate" items.  I commented out the SQL setup, by putting a # before the line that says "sql".  Save the file by pressing Control-O, press return to save in the default location, and press Control-X to get out of the editor.  I redid step number 1 twice and eventually RADIUS was running.  Removing SQL from RADIUS will assure that problems will arise if you plan to use Server.app to add AirPorts to the network in the future.  OS X Server adds its clients in an SQL database according to the programming notes in the .conf files.  I will only be using our Cisco ASAs so SQL is not relevant to our setup.
    Testing the running RADIUS server was easy as well.  In Terminal enter "sudo pico /etc/raddb/users" and authenticate as needed.  This file contains details for users if you wanted to add them manually to the RADIUS server.  For testing purposes I removed the # before a line referring to a user "steve."  I had to get RADIUS restarted to take up the new information about Steve.  I killed the process using Activity Monitor and reran step number 1.
    In Terminal I opened a new tab and entered "sudo radtest steve testing localhost 0 testing123 -t".  You should get back a positive authentication message.  Switching back to the original tab will show the output of the RADIUS server.
    Reverse the entry in step 3 by adding back the # to comment out the line about steve in the users file.
    RADIUS is now running and authenticating against its own users file.
    Now we need to add our ASAs to the RADIUS server so it knows that it can authenticate for them.  In Terminal enter "sudo pico /etc/raddb/clients.conf".  We added lines for our ASAs, following the samples in the code.  The information in the lines we added included a generic name for each ASA or device needing RADIUS type authentication, its IP address, and the shared secret for device authentication.
    Following David's advice from above I created the RADIUS sacl by entering in Terminal "sudo dseditgroup -q -o create -u <admin user> -P <admin password> -n . com.apple.access_radius".  This created the sacl for the service.  Editing of the associated users and groups permitted to use the service was able to be done in Server.  Be sure to select from the View menu "Show system accounts".  Selecting "Groups" from the left margin of the Server window will show all of the SACLs along with any groups you have created.  The RADIUS sacl can then have groups and users added to it.
    To ensure that RADIUS is running and stays running enter the following in Terminal.  First, "sudo radiusd.conf" will start RADIUS without logging in the Terminal window.  Then, "sudo radiusconfig -start" to tell the system to keep it running and also run after a reboot.
    I made no changes to our ASA settings and found that I was able to authenticate the "Steve" user from the RADIUS test in the ASA.  I was also able to authenticate a user which had been added to the "Users" in Server.  It appears that the ASA will be permitted to authenticate Open Directory users without additional setup.
    I now need to set up our user groups to match those we use in our 10.7 server and add them to the RADIUS SACL and we should be set.
    Once I have everything running properly, I will add a post here to close this discussion.
    If anyone can shorten this procedure please let us know what you suggest.
    -Erich

  • Syncing Active Directory Groups for Unity Distribution Groups

    We have multiple remote stores with managers that move around quite a bit. This poses an administration nightmare when trying to keep voicemail distribution lists up to date. Is there a way to syncronize an active directory group to a Unity voicemail distribution group? Therefore when we move a manager around in ADS the user automatically moves in Unity.

    Unfortunately this feature has not been re-implemented in Unity Connection. This is one of the few things from Unity that I miss. I suggest voicing your desire for this as a feature enhancement with your Cisco AM.
    If you are doing that many changes you may want to consider going through the Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Interface. At least you could script the changes there using code that checked AD group membership and replicated the changes into CUC.

  • List view GroupBy pagination does not work for the second group?

    Hi,
    I have defined view for list with grouping by 2 fields. I noticed the paging works only for the first grouping, for the second field there are always all items on the page. How could I configure it to provide paging also for the second level of grouping?
    If it is possible to have paging for only one group level, I would like to change it for the second 2 (as there are only like 15 groups for the first level but there could be hundreds for the second one).

  • Target Group for different Relationships

    Hi All,
    I would like to create the target group consisting of Buisness Partners(Level 2) having specific relationship with Identified Business Partners(Level 1).
    How should I acheive this?
    Do I need to create the target group for Business Partners(Level 1) and treat it as master group for creating target group for Business Partners(Level 2).
    Afterwords filters needs to be applied on the Buisness Partners(Level 2).
    Regards,
    Piyush

    I think help file is pretty clear. SAP provides one example with CP but they expect you to follow up the following (there is some programming involved):
    You have defined data sources that are capable of providing the business partner relationship information. In the case of InfoSets, this means that the InfoSet itself contains all the fields required to provide the partner function information.
    You need a conversion function for the data sources Business Intelligence Cube and Attribute Set. This function uses a function module to deliver the required information (for example, contact person for an organization). You need a separate function module for each relationship type. The standard delivery contains the following example function modules:
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP_BW
          CRM_MKTTG_PF_FIND_CPS
