Can Jabber use two UDS Server?

[IsenLin]

I have two domain. They are in HK and Taiwan.

I have connect two domain with VPN.

Can I use two uds services for contact?

Be setting in CUCM or jabber-config.xml??

If your question is regarding two different cucm clusters then you can follow the deployment guide

"Contact Resolution with Multiple Clusters

For contact resolution with multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters, synchronize all users on the corporate directory to each cluster. Provision a subset of those users on the appropriate cluster.

For example, your organization has 40,000 users. 20,000 users reside in North America. 20,000 users reside in Europe. Your organization has the following Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters for each location:

• cucm-cluster-na for North America

• cucm-cluster-eu for Europe

In this example, synchronize all 40,000 users to both clusters. Provision the 20,000 users in North America on cucm-cluster-na and the 20,000 users in Europe on cucm-cluster-eu.

When users in Europe call users in North America, Cisco Jabber retrieves the contact details for the user in Europe from cucm-cluster-na.

When users in North America call users in Europe, Cisco Jabber retrieves the contact details for the user in North America from cucm-cluster-eu."

The guide does not mention any support for defining two diff UDS servers in the jabber config file.

Hi Manish,

Can UDS/TLS solve a design where multiple clusters have the same domain name?

How can I direct Jabber Users not on the Internal network to access its CUCM cluster?

1. Cluster APAC
   1. Jabber APAC Users
2. Cluster NA
   1. Jabber NA Users
3. Cluster EU
   1. Jabber EU Users

Unfortunately all CUCM clusters noted above have the same domain name.

How do I direct each Jabber User to their CUCM cluster without using the IP Address of VCS-Edge?

Can I use our external DNS where all Jabber Users have the same DNS name to route to its VCS-Edge?

If having the same domain name of all CUCM clusters can UDS/ILS to solve this configuration roadblock?

My goal is to use DNS and not manually configuring IP addresses on each Jabber client.

Your help is appreciated

Hi Everyone,

currently I have similiar case but in my deployment i have 2 different domain (compay-A.com and company-A.com),

is there any posibilities for jabber (also IP phones and TP endpoint) to lookup contact directory from another domain using multi (two) UDS with latest software version?

Btw all of my jabber login to cucm via MRA, so I can only use UDS for jabber lookup directory.

UDS can be used for MRA login and ILS, but not for a shared directory, answer remains the same, you can only look at one UDS server with the endpoints.

[Ovindo Prastyo Utomo]

Hi Jaime,

Is there any solution for Jabber MRA to look at more than one directory server?

[Jaime Valencia]

No, if using pre 11.5, you'll be forced to use the UDS service from the cluster where the registrations are proxied, and there's no way around that.

If 11.5, you can use the LDAP search to proxy the LDAP search via UDS, but you're still limited to, basically the same config you use for the LDAP sync.

[Christian Bongiovanni]

Imagicle has a solution for that (www.imagicle.com/go/speedy)

We can act a UDS Proxy for Jabber and provide access to contact synced from multiple sources or segregated per customer.

[Jaime Valencia]

No, you can only work with one UDS, you would need to either sync your users across both, or if they use the same LDAP forest, integrate that way.
