Setting Up Certificate Validation for Jabber clients

Hi:
I would like to get certificates signed from private internal CA for Jabber clients. Cisco documentation says it requires HTTP/Tomcat for CUPS, HTTP/Tomcat for CUCM and UCXN[8.6].
The exiting Tomcat certificate has these two files: tomcat.pem, tomcat.der and a bunch of tomcat-trust certificates as well with associated files.
My question is is there any harm in generating a new tomcat certifcate or could I just generate CSR's for the two existing Tomcat files to be signed? When you generate a new Tomcat certificate does it create or overwrite the .pem and .der? I don't want to break anything in this process so looking for some feedback.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_2_5/JABW_BK_CAAD3F25_00_cisco-jabber-for-windows-release-notes/JABW_BK_CAAD3F25_00_cisco-jabber-for-windows-release-notes_chapter_011.html

Generating a CSR for the Tomcat certificate and installing the signed certificate will replace the .pem/.der file you see listed. Once you sign the CSR and upload the final certificate, you'll need to restart Cisco Tomcat from the CLI for it to pickup the new cert. Anything that is in a -trust store is something that server will accept during a TLS/SSL handshake, not something it uses itself.

  • Any way to bypass server certificate validation in AIR client?

    Is there any way to bypass certificate validation and server identification for secure Channels or ChannelSets? I am aware of the existing workaround to import my own certificate into the user's CA chain, but I feel that having greater control on the client-side is preferred.
    If there is not a way to bypass client-side certificate validation I will be filing this as a feature request at http://bugs.adobe.com
    Thanks,
    Karl
    When producing a client-server solution it is occasionally useful to override the default behavior of HTTPS certificate validation and server identification. I would like to request the ability to override these systems in the AIR environment for applications installed with the "UNRESTRICTED" system access option.
    Simply allowing the use of self-signed certificates without verification (perhaps signified by a secure protocol identifier other than "https") would provide adequate functionality, but some users may desire finer control.
    This issue is partly addressed by bugs FP-711 and FP-214 but I feel it is important that any enhancement include the BlazeDS Channel in the case that the AIR application has unrestricted system access.
    When deploying an AIR client application which is securely connected to a network appliance which is controlled by the same developer it is desirable to bypass the overhead of acquiring a PKI issued certificate for every customer. Independent, open-source, and not-for-profit developers could see increased ability to adopt the AIR platform with this improvement.
    When deploying a network appliance to be used with an AIR application the requirement for a PKI issued certificate complicates the deployment of the network appliance by requiring DNS access, and thereby requiring Internet connectivity. Some customer sites require network isolation.
    It is possible to generate a developer-specific certificate and import that certificate into the AIR client host's Trusted Root Certification Authorities list. This workaround deteriorates PKI best practices and complicates the installation of AIR software. It is not possible to depend solely on the ".air" packaging for installation with the added requirement to install a new CA on the user's host.
    Java provides the requested functionality by allowing developers to provide their own implementations of javax.net.ssl.TrustManager for verification and javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier for identification. We have used this technique to communicate over the SDEE protocol with Cisco IDS devices which do not usually have PKI issued certificates.

  • Voice recording for jabber client

    hi,
    is there any voice recording solution for the jabber client via expressway E?
    seems there is no solution around, is it not supported?
    is it possible to use TCS to record the calls made by external jabber client?
    thanks.

    1. Use span (no span-less\Bridge_option) ports (via "expressway c e"  from outside)
    2. Use span-less\Bridge_option  and VPN access to connect from outside (without expressway).

  • SIP Authentication for Jabber clients

    What protocol does the Jabber client use for SIP authentication?  I assume it's using HTTP digest based authentication per the SIP standard.  Is this true?

    SIP authentication typically occurs over port 5060 (TCP, UDP, SCTP) or securely over 5061 (TLS) as per RFC3261 regarding SIP as a transport.
    Cisco follows these same standards and refers to the ports used for SIP communication in the Jabber Video Admin Guide.

  • Setting up as bridge for wired client

    I know this should be simple, but I cannot figure this out. I have an AirportExtreme base station that provides my house with wireless. What I want to do is to provide internet access to a client that only has an ethernet connection.
    Essentially, I just need the Airport Express to grab the wireless internet signal and send it through its ethernet port to my device. I don't want other wireless devices to connect to it...I'd prefer those only connect to the base station. Is this possible?
    Thanks for any help!

    Duane- thanks for the info. The AX is g and my TimeCapsule base station is n. So I guess I'll have to use the WDS feature. My network is already setup with WPA2/Personal security.
    To clarify what I meant by not allowing wireless clients: I want the AX to just serve as an ethernet "extension cord" a TiVo on the other side of the hosue (which only has an ethernet port). And I was thinking that since the AX is a G device, I'd rather my laptops use the base station as the wireless provider even if I'm closer the AX. Is that possible?
    One last question, in setting up WDS, would I set the AX to be a remote or a relay? I'm not sure I know the difference between those two modes.

  • How to set a proxy only for specific connection?

    Hi,
    I am trying to make an Http request through a proxy. So my code looks like:
        System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "myproxy.hello.net");
        System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");However, I believe this setting is now valid for the entire JVM. I do not want my setting to affect other programs that are running in the same JVM. The program I am writting is a servlet. So by setting the system properties I am affecting all other servlets under the same web container.
    What I would like to know is whether there is a way to specify an http proxy to be used only for my connection.
    It seems strange if there is no way to do this. Doesn't this raise synchronization issues as well? What if another servlet is trying to change the same system property at the same time?
    Thanks in advance!

    I see that the trick using
    URL url = new URL("http", "myproxy.hello.net", 8080, "http://www.target.com:8000/");is not correct because it sends the proxy host as the Host HTTP header:
    Host: myproxy.hello.net
    instead of the final target. So it's very likely that the target or the proxy will get confused. Is there any other way of doing this?
    THanks

  • Certificate Validity Period Question

    I work for a foster care organization and cant decide on how long we should have  our Validity period last. These certificates will be used for digitally signing word docs. The problem im running into is we have to keep adopted files for 100 years and
    all other files for 7 years. We are moving all of our files to electronic format but cant decide how to handle the adoption files. Do we put the validity to 100 years? or shorter? But if it is shorter than how do we manage when employees leave and then the
    certs become invalid after so and so years. Is that acceptable to have the cert expire but leave the docs published? 
    Running server 2008 r2 and windows 7

    Hi,
    Based on my research, it is not recommended to configure the certificate validity for too long, because the longer validity period brings the greater risk of the certificate being exposed.
    Another thing is that every Certificate Authority (CA) has its own certificate, so every CA has built-in
    expiration date.
    Certificate Services enforces a rule that a CA never issues a certificate to be valid
    beyond the expiration date of its own certificate.
    Therefore, once the CA’s certificate expired, all certificates issued by it became invalid.
    Actually you can just configure an appropriate validity to certificates, not too long or too short, the certificates can be renewed by CA, and CA’s certificate can also be
    renewed. As long as Certificates Services are running smoothly, there won’t be issues about your document signing.
    Here are some related links below that could be useful to you:

  • DAP rule for IPSec clients

    I'm setting up DAP rules for AnyConnect clients. When I set the default policy to terminate, I get the right results from AnyConnect connections, but all IPSec clients cannont connect. I know I need to set up a DAP rule for IPSec clients to allow them through, but can't remember how to set that up.

    Ok, that worked. Follow-up question though. So the only thing I'm looking at doing right now is setting up a policy to look at Anti-virus and disallow if the signature is more than a week old. Works fine with the AnyConnect. But if I add that to the IPSec rule (app = ipsec and av exists (< 7 days), it won't let the IPSec client connect at all. I seem to recall something about if we're doing posturing with IPSec client, we have to use endpoint assesment or pre-login policy? Is that the case; it would be nice to do it all w/in one DAP rule.
    Thanks

  • Home directories for Linux clients?

    Hello,
    I want to setup OS X Server to serve as an authentication server for Mac-, Windows- and Linux-clients. I have the services DHCP, DNS, OpenDirectory (as Open Directory Master) and Windows (as PDC) running.
    So far there is no problem to login on the three different platforms via LDAP. In WGM I set the home directory for Mac-clients and activated the virtual homes feature for windows. On both clients I get the network home functional but on the linux client the home does not appear.
    How do I configure the server to realize that? I thought that the linux clients would use the samba share that the windows clients use.
    iMac G5 (iSight) 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    When you log in to the linux machine, do you get an error that states that the home directory for the user cannot be found? That error message should give you the path that is set in the LDAP directory as the home directory for that user. This directory needs to be added to the Linux filesystem, and then the Users folder on the OS X Server needs to be NFS mounted (rw) on the Linux machine.
    For ease of transition, I softlink /home to this directory on the Linux machines.

  • This Certificate not valid for the selected purpose

    I have installed on my Windows 7 (64 bit Professional w/SP1)
    a Self-Signed CA (IDS_MstrCert)  that has been accepted by the system certificate "store".  via mmc & certmgr
    I generated this CA on my Redhat Linux 7 server using the openssl utilities. 
    It shows: This certificate is intended for the following purpose(s):
    All issuance policies
    All application policies
    It is enabled for ALL purposes (However I did not generate with ALL purpose set)
    Under Certification Path:
    Certificate Status: This Certificate is OK
    I have also installed a Client Certificate (winxclient) (also generated by my Redhat Linux 7 server)
    That has been "signed" by my CA (IDS_MstrCert)
    I added it successfully to the system certificate "store" via mmc & certmgr.
    However when I open the certificate I see the following message: This Certificate not valid for the selected purpose
    When I view the Certificate path I see the following:

    Hi,
    In my opinion, this is not Windows system problem. You need to make troubleshoot with the Certificate.

  • Is there a jabber client for iPad that will connect to Apple's iChat/jabber server?

    I've just purchased a third gen iPad and I'd like to be able to use the VPN connection in conjunction with an iChat client to communicate with my office's internal iChat/jabber server. However, none of the apps I've tried are able to successfully connect? I've tried Monal, IM+, IMO, munduIM OSE and Talkonaut. No joy.
    I use Messages (beta) on the desktop, but there's no way to setup anything other than an Apple ID in Messages on the iPad. I'd love to keep it unified.
    Any thoughts or suggestions? I've heard that Beejive is the way to go, but (call me a cheapskate) I don't want to pay for another app just to find out it won't do what I want!

    You almost certainly have a misconfigured router/firewall for jabber. I can confirm that OS X Lion Server works with the iPad and iPhone IM apps imo and BeeJiveIM.
    To track down your problem, which almost certainly is simply a port getting blocked or not forwarded at some point between your router and server, I'd suggest getting an nmap executable (e.g., get Xcode via app store, then macports, then sudo port install nmap) and download the old feature-rich Airport Utility 5.6 from Apple. First try this:
    $ nmap -p 5222 localhost
    $ nmap -p 5222 server_ip_on_LAN
    $ nmap -p 5222 server_ip_on_INTERNET
    This port should be open for each probe. When I first set up my server, Messages beta added a port forwarding entry on my Airport router, but this had a duplicate entry with another port forward, so I had to use Airport Utility 5.6 to track down and delete the superfluous port forward entry. I also had to use Server Admin to open all the iChat ports.
    One thing I was hoping for is an iOS app that supports video/voice over jabber, but all the apps I see are strictly IM. Can anyone recommend an app for this?

  • Is there a jabber client for windows users that's working?

    hello all,
    i've just deployed os x server 10.5 (standard configuration, upgraded to 10.5.3) and i have some users that are using ms windows. i can't seem to get google talk or any other windows jabber clients to successfully connect to the ichat server. i've tried to use the same server settings that i'm using when i create a new jabber account in ichat with google talk and a few others with no success. am i missing something? does anyone know of a windows jabber client that is currently working? if so, can you also share with me your findings (the settings or best practices for setting up this windows jabber client). the os x server ichat docs state several times that google talk should work. but after some research here, it looks as if it doesn't current work. any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I think Pidgin is the solution for you. It's quite easy to configure and seems quite reliable! It works well for me. I have use a portable version of it to connect from Windows XP/2000 to a 10.5.3 Server.

  • 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.
