Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Directory Integration of Cisco Jabber client.

Ask questions from Monday, April 13th, 2015 to Friday, April 24th, 2015

Cisco Jabber has the capability to obtain the directory information directly from either LDAP or CUCM server- using EDI, BDI or UDS. Enhanced Directory Integration (EDI) is an LDAP-based contact source for Cisco Jabber for Windows clients. Basic Directory Integration (BDI) is an LDAP-based contact source for non-Windows Jabber clients (MAC and Mobile).Cisco Unified Communications Manager UDS is a Cisco Unified Communications Manager contact source and is available as a contact source for all Cisco Jabber clients. UDS is the contact source used for Expressway Mobile and Remote Access.

The directory parameters can be configured using jabber-config.xml file or the service profile. Alternatively, Cisco Jabber for Windows can also automatically discover and connect to the directory server if the workstation on which you install Cisco Jabber is on the Microsoft Windows Active Directory domain.

Furthermore, Cisco Jabber can also search for contacts from the Personal Address book in Microsoft Outlook client using MAPI when both the clients co-exist in a PC.

This session aims in helping customers with the design, configuration and troubleshooting of Cisco Jabber Directory Integration.

Hi,

I was directed to this forum by our Cisco SE in hope of posting Directory Integration questions surrounding our hybrid Jabber WebEx Messenger Loosely Coupled SSO Integration.

However, I just noticed this forum focuses on on-premises deployments.

I find there is very little Directory Integration information for our deployment.

Can you point me to a source that can provide an "ask the expert" or similar forum for hybrid "Jabber WebEx Messenger" deployments (NOT WebEx Connect/Messenger).

Thanks

MM

Hi Mendoza,

 

Thank you for the query. We specialize in On-Premises deployment, and On-Cloud Integration is managed by the Cisco WebEx team.  I'm unsure if any Ask The Expert session is planned for Jabber WebEx integration. I would say, the best way to find answers for your queries would be opening a TAC case with the WebEx team.

 

A similar query was raised by another customer in this session, and I'm trying to find a suitable document which explains more about On-Cloud integration. I will post one here if I find one.

 

Please let me know if you have any additional queries.

 

Regards

Nirmal Issac
