Jabber clients and phone control

Hello All
This may be a stupid question but I was speaking with a Cisco pre-sales engineer about a POC.
Basically the client wants to try out unified comms with jabber. The currently have a cucm cluster and are going to connect
to a new POC cluster consisting of cucm 9.0 and presence.
They will be call forwarding all on their current devices to the device on the new poc.
The bit that has confused me is that when I asked the engineer if they will have new devices on the POC cluster he said
"no" they will register the current devices to the new cluster.
How will this work as you can't have the same device registered to two seperate clusters?
Will the original cluster just have a DN of the users original number that is CFA to the new cluster?
Proper confused ???
Thanks

As I suggested yesterday, you would be better served by integrating the IM&P cluster to the existing CUCM cluster. Each IM&P product is intended to service only a single CUCM cluster and it actually joins the Informix database replication mesh of CUCM. If you're deadset on a separate CUCM cluster you really want to move the entire phone/DN over. You can use route patterns with an Inter-Cluster Trunk on the existing CUCM trunk to forward calls over to the new cluster.
If you don't do this you are going to run into a bunch of snags, all of which are untested/charted territory:
For deskphone control you would have to set the CTI Gateway to be the existing CUCM cluster since that's the CTI Manager service that would be capable of controlling the user's DN and device.
The CSF device would also need to be on the existing CUCM cluster which means the TFTP setting in IM&P needto be pointed at the existing cluster. This in turn means that your jabber-config.xml file will need to be loaded to the existing cluster.
If you want the "on the phone" status to work you need a SIP PUBLISH trunk from CUCM to the IM&P server. Here again this would need to be from the old cluster. This gets even more iffy since the System Troubleshooter does a bunch of AXL-based tests, including on that SIP PUBLISH trunk. It won't be able to test since the feed will be coming from a different cluster. I'm skeptical if this would even work but if you have any chance at it happening the usernames in the two CUCM clusters would have to match.

Jabber client and IP Phone SSL VPN to ASA using AnyConnect

Also for Jabber 9.1 can the Jabber for X softphone client (CUCM) can fireup a SSL VPN direct to ASA, similar to how 7965s can? Anyone aware if Jabber 10 or next version will support Jabber client with ASA? I have this delpoyed with 7965s and certificates but I have to manually start a AnyConnect session for Jabber for Windows on my laptop.

Jabber Windows - no phone control with LDAP Custom filter

I am unable to control the desktop phone from the Jabber 9.1 Windows client when the CallManager LDAP Directory uses a Custom Filter.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If I set the LDAP Custom Filter to <none> and save, then Desktop Phone control works great.
If I set it to use my custom filter, then trying to enable Desktop control just gives me the spinning circle, then times out to the Red X symbol.
I do not need to resync the LDAP Directory to get the error, just enable/disable the custom filter and save.
In both cases calling from the Computer works great.
This is an On-Prem deployment with full MS-AD LDAP integration.
Versions are:
Jabber - 9.1.0 build 12296
CUPC - 8.6.4.11900-1
CUCM - 8.6.2.22900-9
I upgraded to CUCM 8.6.2 SU2 last night hoping that would fix the problem, but no luck.
The LDAP filter is one I have used in numerous other clusters with no CTI issues.
It allows me to sync to the root directory, but only import active user accounts with an entry in the ipPhone AD attribute:
(&((objectclass=user)(ipPhone=*))(!(objectclass=Computer))(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))
Thanks, Randy

Hi Randy,
Have you specified this base filter in jabber-config.xml file? As per Admin Guide:
"In some cases, base filters do not return query results if you specify a closing bracket in your Cisco Jabber for Windows configuration file. For example, this issue might occur if you specify the following base filter: (&(memberOf=CN=UCFilterGroup,OU=DN))
To resolve this issue, remove the closing bracket; for example, (&(memberOf=CN=UCFilterGroup,OU=DN)"
Thanks,

Jabber 9 UCM 6 and phone control..

Hello, I'm setting up Presence and Jabber for a client with UCM 6.1. Everthing seems to be working fine except the ability to control desktop phones from Jabber. Although all the settings appear to be ok whenever a user tries to change from softphone to hardphone in Jabber it fails. I have a TAC case open and we are at the..let's pull the same logs again stage..which means they are stumped usually. So my question is..Has anyone out there ever got this to work with CallManager 6? I am begining to suspect that this feature just doesn't work with this version of CallManager. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Justin

BT Yahoo, e-mail client and phone

On 16 November I was unable to access my BT Yahoo e-mail account. I usually access through Thunderbird or my Android phone. Reasons unclear but I had had no problems since March when something similar (but transient) happened. Password was reset and since then I can access BT Yahoo webmail. BUT I have been unable to reestablish neither my desk top computer e-mail client (POP3) nor my phone (IMAP). Ditto for my wife's sub-account and I-phone. Accounts have been deleted and recreated; settings checked and rechecked; and passwords changed. On my last call to BT I was told that the problem had to be my end if I could access webmail. I might accept that argument if the problem was on a single platform but as I cannot connect to the server across multiple devices (and it was working perfectly before) I am yet to be convinced. In the last few days on occasion after several retries my e-mail client or my phone will connect but it is very flaky. Sometimes a webmail password change helps but fails the next time a connection is attempted. Colleagues suggested a cache problem and I have made sure these are cleared - no obvious improvement. Meantime I have had to set up a forward instruction for my wife and myself to our gmail accounts to establish any sort of service. In my last contact with BT (apart from being told that IMAP was only for Apple!) it was suggested I called in a local technician - frankly I don't know what to ask. For some reason I am not able to connect and I would be most appreciative of suggestions re a way ahead. BT have failed to respond to an e-mail and have not called back at a pre-arranged time (over and above the other calls) so I am pretty fed-up as you may have guessed if you have read this far!

BT Yahoo has had loads of issues over the recent week(s), see fixed messages above. My android phone and my pop 3 client has had log on problems off and on, but it seems to be getting better. Over this time BT Yahoo webmail was working as probably on a different platform their end. I found the following like good for checking outages, its Yahoo mail but if you are on BT Yahoo I have found it accurate.

Jabber for Window, phone mode, how to disable "use my computer for calls"

We have a Citrix environment and only want to control the Cisco deskphone with Jabber for Windows in the phone mode.
We use CUCM 8.6.2 and I have installed Jabber for Windows 9.7.0 and all works fine, I can control my deskphone, make and receive calls, phonebook and Outlook integration works fine.
Is it possible to disable "use my computer for calls" as we do not want users to make calls via Citrix, but only use the deskphone for this.
Thanks, Perry

Hi Matthias,
Soft-phone mode cannot be disabled. Supported Features on Virtual Environment are the following.
Supported Features
    Instant messaging and presence with other Cisco Jabber clients
    Desk phone control
    Voicemail
    Presence integration with Microsoft Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013

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).

Cisco Phone Control and Presence 8.6.1.1185 with IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 (Integrated Sametime Client 8.0.2) - No presence status visible

Hi community,
I am trying to integrate Cisco Unified Presence 8.6.1.10000-34 with IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 with the integrated Sametime Client version 8.0.2 via the Cisco Plugins 8.6.1.1185.
Phone control is working fine, whereas the presence status is not shown (= no handset symbol next to the Sametime user). When I look in the preferences of the plugin, I can see that the plugin has connected successfully to the CUCM (8.6.2.20000-2),whereas the connection to the CUPS has not been established.
The user id as well as the password are all the same on all systems. Here is a description of what I have configured via the ciscocfg.exe tool:
Feature Control:
- Enable Phone Status -> checked
- Enable Dial Using Cisco IP Communicator -> unchecked (not required)
- Enable Control Desk Phone -> checked
- Default Mode -> Control Desk Phone
Control Desk Phone Settings:
- Voicemail Pilot Number -> left blank (no voicemail)
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager
     - Servers -> IP address of CUCM
     - Read Only -> unchecked
     - Use as Default CUCM -> checked
     - Synchronize Credentials -> checked
          - Use Sametime Credentials -> checked
Use Secure Connection: -> not required
LDAP Phone Attributes: -> not required
Phone Status Settings:
- Cisco Unified Presence Servers -> IP address of CUPS
- Read Only -> unchecked
- Synchronize Credentials -> checked
     - Use Sametime Credentials -> checked
- Sametime User ID Mapping
     - Use Business Card Attribute -> MailAddress
     - Remove Domain -> checked
- Display Off-Hook Status Only -> unchecked
At the moment I don't see an error in the configuration, but maybe I am wrong. Could anyone please tell me what the error could be?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,

Hi all,
here are some additions to my above post:
Servers and clients used:
1x CUCM 8.6.2.20000-2
1x CUPS 8.6.1.10000-34
1x IBM Lotus Domino Messaging Express Server 8.5.2
1x Sametime Entry Server 8.5.2 (on top of the Domino server)
2x IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2 with integrated Sametime 8.0.2
2x Cisco Phone Control and Presence with Lotus Sametime (PCAP) 8.6.1.1185
2x Cisco Unified Personal Communicator 8.5.5.19839
Setup:
- CUCM, CUPS and CUPC are working fine, i.e. Desk Phone control via CUPC, as well as availability and presence status are working without issues
- IBM Lotus Domino server is the LDAP Directory, the Sametime Entry Server is installed on top of the Domino server and uses the Domino Directory
- User ID and password on CUCM/CUPS match the ShortName field and password in Domino
- The PCAP plug-in has been manually deployed to both Notes clients with the following configuration:
     - Enable Phone Status -> active
     - Desk Phone Control -> active
     - no credential synchronization for CUCM and CUPS, i.e. every user must fill the user details himself
     - Sametime User ID Mapping is implemented via the LDAP Attribute uid (which is equal to the user id in CUCM)
     - LDAP configuration filled in with details of the Domino server
Phone Control is working fine, also the connection to the LDAP server (Domino) is fine. However, when I type in the credentials for the CUPS server login, I can see (in Troubleshooting pane) that the user (pparker) is connected to the CUPS server for a short period of time and then gets disconnected. After that no connection is possible to the CUPS server, i.e. status is always disconnected.
I have collected the Tomcat (EPASSoap00010.log and security00010.log) logs via RTMT and compared them to the logs from the PCAP plugin. The relevant time period is from 15:14 to 15:17. In the Tomcat logs I can see that the authentication is successful (see attached files), however in the log of PCAP plugin I can see the following messages:
2012/02/03 15:14:35.281 WARNUNG Credential is rejected. Nothing to retry ::class.method=com.cisco.sametime.phonestatus.cup.CUPPresenceWatcher.answerChallenge() ::thread=CT_CALLBACK.1 ::loggername=com.cisco.sametime.phonestatus.cup

I don't understand why the connection is rejected although the Sametime Internal ID and CUPS User ID match. Does anyone know what the issue could be?
All posts are very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Igor

Jabber Client for Windows. Desk phone control trouble.

Good day!
I have CUCM - version 9.1.1.20000-5, JFW version 9.2.3 build 4417 and Microsoft AD server.
I have configured:
1. LDAP directory in CUCM using SSL connection
2. LDAP authentication in CUCM using SSL connection (port 636) too.
All other configurations, needed for allowing CTI control from JFW to desk phone, are made.
So, the problem is: CTI control in JFW is not available in this case. But, if I change in CUCM LDAP authentication from SSL to non-SSL - all work fine. JFW establishs CTI connection and successfully controls my desk phone, when LDAP authentication does is non-SSL.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Hello, usually this is fixed by changing to global catalog for authentication (3269) since I would suppose that the issue you're experiencing is an LDAP timeout.

Jabber 10.5 for Windows + App Dial Rules + Phone Control Mode

I am using all 10.5.
I have Jabber for Windows integrated with Outlook. I have Application Dial Rules set up to handle converting numbers to what I need by stripping, adding 9s, adding 1s, etc. It all works great when I'm using Jabber as a soft phone.
My problem is that almost nobody in the company has a PC camera/mic/speakers. So all of the Jabber clients will be in phone control mode. Because the call originates from the phone and not from an application, the Application Dial Rules get bypassed. I understand why this is happening but I'm hoping there is a way around it. Is there some setting that tells CUCM to notice that there was a CTI call to the phone from an application requesting that it make the call or something like that where CUCM realizes that the request "initially" came from a Jabber client?
OR is there some way for me to put in route patterns similar to the App Dial Rules but specify that those patterns are only available when the number is sent enblock so they don't mess with regular dialing?

Why dont you apply called party transformation rules and modify the called number as per your need.

Jabber for Windows 9.0(1) will not be posted automatically for all customers.
An internal communication will be issued to all internal CSM's and PSM's in the next couple of days explaining the exact procedure for requesting access to the client and how to raise the ops request to make it available for the customer org in question ... so reach out to the your Partner manager to understand that procedure and to enable access for your customers.

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.
