Supported Partitioned Intradomain Federation Integrations
For partitioned intradomain federation with Microsoft Lync or Skype for Business, you must configure TLS; TCP is not supported. For more information, see Microsoft Lync Configuration for Partitioned Intradomain Federation or Skype for Business Configuration for Partitioned Intradomain Federation.
This chapter describes the configuration steps for enabling partitioned intradomain federation between IM and Presence Service and Microsoft Skype for Business/Lync/OCS. The following Microsoft server platforms are supported:
-
Microsoft Skype for Business Server, 2015, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition
-
Microsoft Lync Server 2013, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition
-
Microsoft Lync Server 2010, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition
-
Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Release 2, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition
IM and Presence Service does not support an ASA in partitioned intradomain federation.
Note |
If you have a mixed deployment of both Lync and OCS servers, you must run the user migration tools for the Lync users, and then run the user migration tools for the OCS users. |
We recommended that you use the Federation Wizard to configure Partitioned Intradomain Federation. This Federation Wizard allows you to automatically configure partitioned intradomain federation with Microsoft Lync or Skype for Business, by creating the Static Routes, Access Control Lists and TLS peers that are required for Partitioned Intradomain Federation and provides the Windows server PowerShell CLI commands required to configure modifications on the Microsoft server.
To launch the Federation wizard from the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration, click
.However you can still manually configure this feature.
Presence Web Service API Support
The Presence Web Service is an open interface that allows client applications to share user presence information with IM and Presence Service. Third party developers use this interface to build client applications that can send and retrieve updates about the presence state of a user. Note the following restriction about Presence Web Service API support:
-
For partitioned intradomain federation, you cannot use the Presence Web Service API to obtain presence information from non-Cisco clients.
For more information about the Presence Web Service, see the IM and Presence Service Developer Guide at https://developer.cisco.com/site/collaboration/call-control/unified-presence/documentation/index.gsp.
Limitations for Microsoft Lync Integrations
-
You already have intradomain federation configured for video with Cisco VCS or Cisco Expressway and want to add partitioned intradomain federation with IM and Presence Service: Microsoft Lync is integrated with Cisco VCS or Cisco Expressway and you have a static route configured on Lync to route video and voice traffic for the local Lync presence domain to Cisco VCS or Cisco Expressway. If you modify the static route to point to IM and Presence Service (a requirement for partitioned intradomain federation) you will break the existing video integration because the traffic that is intended for Cisco VCS or Cisco Expressway would instead be routed to IM and Presence Service. You cannot have both video integration and partitioned intradomain federation to IM and Presence Service.
-
You already have integration with Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging and want to add partitioned intradomain federation with IM and Presence Service: You have a Microsoft Lync server configured for Unified Messaging to Microsoft Exchange (either on-premises, or to the cloud (Office365). If you add a static route from Lync for the local Lync presence domain to point to IM and Presence Service (a requirement for partitioned intradomain federation), Unified Messaging integration between Lync and Microsoft Exchange for the domain will be terminated because all Unified Messaging SIP traffic for that domain will be routed to IM and Presence Service. You cannot have both integration to Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging and partitioned intradomain federation to IM and Presence Service.
Note |
Neither Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging nor Cisco VCS (or Cisco Expressway) integrations are supported with partitioned intradomain federation if you are sharing the same domain between Microsoft Lync and IM and Presence Service. |
