Step 5 Select Upload File. Step 6 Restart the Tomcat service from the CLI using this command: utils service restart Cisco Tomcat
Creating LDAP Profiles and Adding Users
ProcedureCisco Jabber for iPad connects to an LDAP server on a per-search basis. If the connection to the primary server fails, the application attempts the first backup LDAP server, and if it is not available, it then attempts to connect to the second backup server. The application also periodically attempts to return to the primary LDAP server. If an LDAP query is in process when the system fails over, the next available server completes this LDAP query.
Step 1 Select .
Note LDAP profile configuration is done in Cisco Unified Communications Manager starting with Release 9.0.
Step 2 Select Add New. Step 3 Enter information in the fields.
Field Setting Name Enter the profile name limited to 128 characters. Description Optional. Enter a description limited to 128 characters. Bind Distinguished Name Optional. Enter the administrator-level account information limited to 128 characters. This is the distinguished name with which you bind for authenticated bind.
The syntax for this field depends on the type of LDAP server that you deploy. For details, see the LDAP server documentation.
Anonymous Bind Optional. Uncheck this option to use the user credentials to sign in to this LDAP server. For non-anonymous bind operations, Cisco Jabber for iPad receives one set of credentials. If configured, these credentials must be valid on the backup LDAP servers.
Note If you check Anonymous Bind, users can sign in anonymously to the LDAP server with read-only access. Anonymous access might be possible on your directory server, but Cisco does not recommend it. Instead, create a user with read-only privileges on the same directory where the users to be searched are located. Specify the directory number and password in Cisco Unified Presence for the application to use.
Password Optional. Enter the LDAP bind password limited to 128 characters. This is the password for the administrator-level account that you provided in the Bind Distinguished Name string to allow users to access this LDAP server. Confirm Password Reenter the password you entered in Password. Search Context Optional. Enter the location where you set up all the LDAP users. This location is a container or directory. The name is limited to 256 characters. Use only a single OU/LDAP search context. Recursive Search Optional. Check to perform a recursive search of the directory starting at the search base. Primary LDAP Server and Backup LDAP Server Select the primary LDAP server and optional backup servers. Add Users to Profile Select the button to open the Find and List Users window. Select Find to populate the search results fields. Alternatively, search for a specific user and select Find. To add users to this profile, select the users, and select Add Selected. Step 4 Select Save.
Setting Up the LDAP Attribute Map
Before You BeginProcedureSet up the LDAP attribute map on Cisco Unified Presence where you enter LDAP attributes for your environment and map them to the given Cisco Jabber for iPad attributes.
If you want to use LDAP to store your employee profile photos, use a third-party extension to upload the photo files to the LDAP server or extend the LDAP directory server schema by other means to create an attribute that the LDAP server can associate with an image.
For Cisco Jabber for iPad to display profile photos, in the LDAP attribute map, map the Jabber for iPad "Photo" value to the appropriate LDAP attribute.
Note
- Contact photos may be cropped when they are displayed in Jabber for iPad.
- The UPC UserID setting in the LDAP attribute map must match the Cisco Unified Communications Manager user ID. This mapping allows a user to add a contact from LDAP to the contact list in Cisco Jabber for iPad. This field associates the LDAP user with the corresponding user on Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Presence.
- You can map an LDAP field to only one Cisco Jabber field.
Step 1 Select . Select
if you are using Release 9.0.Step 2 Select a supported LDAP server from Directory Server Type. The LDAP server populates the LDAP attribute map with Cisco Jabber user fields and LDAP user fields.
Step 3 If necessary, make modifications to the LDAP field to match your specific LDAP directory. The values are common to all LDAP server hosts. Note the following LDAP directory product mappings:
Step 4 Select Save.
Tip If you want to stop using the current attribute mappings and use the factory default settings, select Restore Defaults.
Indexing Active Directory Attributes
Index these Active Directory attributes:
In addition, index any attributes that are used for contact resolution. For example, you might need to index these attributes:
Specifying LDAP Authentication Settings
ProcedureThe LDAP authentication feature enables Cisco Unified Communications Manager to authenticate user passwords against the corporate LDAP directory.
Note
LDAP authentication does not apply to the passwords of application users; Cisco Unified Communications Manager authenticates application users in its internal database.
Step 1 Select . Step 2 Check Use LDAP Authentication for End Users. Step 3 Specify the LDAP authentication settings. Step 4 Specify the LDAP server hostname or IP address and port number.
Note To use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to communicate with the LDAP directory, check Use SSL.
Step 5 Select Save.
Tip If you set up LDAP over SSL, upload the LDAP directory certificate to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Setting Up LDAP Synchronization for User Provisioning
Perform this task in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
LDAP synchronization uses the Cisco Directory Synchronization (DirSync) tool on Cisco Unified Communications Manager to synchronize information (either manually or periodically) from a corporate LDAP directory. When you turn on the DirSync service, Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically provisions users from the corporate directory. Cisco Unified Communications Manager still uses its local database, but turns off its facility to allow you to create user accounts. You use the LDAP directory interface to create and manage user accounts.
Before You BeginProcedure
- Ensure that you install the LDAP server before you attempt the LDAP-specific configuration on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
- Understand that LDAP synchronization does not apply to application users Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You must manually provision application users in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration interface.
- Activate and start the Cisco DirSync service on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Step 1 Select . Step 2 Select Add New. Step 3 Set up the LDAP server type and attribute. Step 4 Select Enable Synchronizing from LDAP Server. Step 5 Click Save. Step 6 Select . Step 7 Select Add New. Step 8 Set up these items: Step 9 Check Use SSL if you want to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to communicate with the LDAP directory. Step 10 Click Save.
Tip
- If you configure LDAP over SSL, upload the LDAP directory certificate onto Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
- See the LDAP directory content in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager SRND for information on the account synchronization mechanism for specific LDAP products and general best practices for LDAP synchronization.
Turning IM Policy On or Off
ProcedureThis procedure describes how to turn on or off IM features for all IM applications in a Cisco Unified Presence cluster. IM features are turned on by default in Cisco Unified Presence.
Caution
If you turn off IM features in Cisco Unified Presence, all group chat functionality (ad hoc and persistent chat) will not work in Cisco Unified Presence. Cisco recommends that you do not turn on the Cisco UP XCP Text Conference service or set up an external database for persistent chat in Cisco Unified Presence.
Step 1 Select . Step 2 Select Enable instant messaging.
Note Step 3 Select Save. Step 4 Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router service.
Specifying IM Policy Settings
Procedure
Step 1 Select . Step 2 Turn on or off automatic authorization for viewing availability.
If you want to… Do this… Turn on automatic authorization so that Unified Presence automatically authorizes all availability subscription requests it receives from Jabber for iPad users in the local enterprise Check Allow users to view the availability of other users without being prompted for approval. Turn off automatic authorization so that Unified Presence sends all availability subscriptions to where the user is prompted to authorize or reject the subscription Uncheck Allow users to view the availability of other users without being prompted for approval. Step 3 Select . Step 4 Turn on or off these global settings: Step 5 Select Save. Step 6 Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router service.
Setting Up URL Strings to Fetch Contact Pictures from Web Server
You can set up a parameterized URL string in the Photo field in the LDAP attribute map so that Cisco Jabber for iPad can fetch pictures from a web server instead of from the LDAP server. The URL string must contain an LDAP attribute with a query value containing a piece of data that uniquely identifies the photo of the user. Cisco recommends that you use the User ID attribute. However, you can use any LDAP attribute whose query value contains a piece of data that uniquely identifies the photo of the user.
Cisco recommends that you use %%<userID>%% as the substitution string. For example:
- http://mycompany.example.com/photo/std/%%uid%%.jpg
- http://mycompany.example.com/photo/std/%%sAMAccountName%%.jpg
You must include the double percent symbols in this string, and they must enclose the name of the LDAP attribute to substitute. Cisco Jabber for iPad removes the percent symbols and replaces the parameter inside with the results of an LDAP query for the user whose photo it resolves.
For example, if a query result contains the attribute "uid" with a value of "johndoe," then a template such as http://mycompany.com/photos/%%uid%%.jpg creates the URL http://mycompany.com/photos/johndoe.jpg. Cisco Jabber for iPad attempts to fetch the photo.
This substitution technique works only if Cisco Jabber for iPad can use the results of the query and can insert it into the template you specify above to construct a working URL that fetches a JPG photo. If the web server that hosts the photos in a company requires a POST (for example, the name of the user is not in the URL) or uses some other cookie name for the photo instead of the username, this technique does not work.
Note
- Limit a URL length to 50 characters.
- Cisco Jabber for iPad does not support authentication for this query; the photo must be retrievable from the web server without credentials.
Setting Up CTI Gateway Profiles
Create the computer telephony interface (CTI) gateway profiles in Cisco Unified Presence Administration and assign primary and backup servers for redundancy.
Before You BeginProcedureReview the following:
- Specify the CTI gateway names and addresses by going to before you can select the servers as primary or backup servers in this procedure.
- Cisco Unified Presence dynamically creates a TCP-based CTI gateway profile based on the hostname of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Before using this profile, verify that Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Jabber for iPad can ping Cisco Unified Communications Manager by the DNS name. If they cannot contact the server, you need to add the IP address of Cisco Unified Communications Manager by going to . You do not need to delete the host profiles that are created automatically.
- If you previously set up Cisco Unified Communications Manager with an IP address through the menu, Cisco Unified Presence dynamically creates a TCP-based CTI gateway profile based on that address. The fields you see by going to are automatically populated, and you need to only add users to the default CTI TCP profile that is created (See step 3.).
Step 1 Select . Step 2 Search for the CTI gateway profile in the Find and List CTI Gateway Profiles window. If the CTI gateway profile is found, no further action is required from you.
Step 3 If the CTI gateway profile is not found, select Add New. Step 4 Enter the following information into the fields.
Field Setting Name Enter the profile name. Description Enter a profile description. Primary CTI Gateway Server and Backup CTI Gateway Server Select a primary server and a backup server. Make this the Default CTI Gateway Profile for the System Check this option if you want any new users that are added to the system to be placed automatically into this default profile.
Users who are already synchronized to Unified Presence from Unified Communications Manager are not added to the default profile. However, once the default profile is created, any users synchronized after that are added to the default profile.
Step 5 Select Add Users to Profile. Step 6 Use the Find and List Users window to find and select users. Step 7 Select Add Selected to add users to the profile. Step 8 Select Save in the main CTI Gateway Profile window.
Turning on Control of iPad as a Phone

Setting Up Connect on Demand VPN
Cisco Jabber for iPad supports two ways to enable the Connect on Demand VPN feature.
If your Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers are configured with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), the Connect on Demand VPN feature is enabled or disabled using Cisco Jabber for iPad. If your Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers are configured with an IP address, configure the On Demand VPN URL parameter to enable the Connect on Demand VPN feature.
Note
Cisco recommends that Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified Communications Manager be deployed with a FQDN. Use of the Connect on Demand VPN feature requires no additional Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration when deployed with a FQDN.
Before You BeginProcedure
- Determine if your Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers use a Fully Qualified Domain Name or IP address for network identification.
- Identify a URL that is set up to launch VPN on demand. Enter the URL in the Cisco AnyConnect client. Cisco Jabber for iPad triggers VPN on demand if a DNS query on this domain fails. Use one of the following methods:
- Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to be accessed through a domain name and not an IP address. Ensure this domain name is not resolvable outside the firewall. Include this domain in the Connect If Needed list in the Connect On Demand Domain List of the Cisco AnyConnect client connection.
- If you cannot use a domain name to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager or cannot make the DNS lookup of that domain name fail from outside the firewall, set the parameter in the following procedure to a nonexistent domain. This nonexistent domain would cause a DNS query to fail when the user is inside or outside the firewall. Add that domain to the Always Connect list in the Connect On Demand Domain List of the Cisco AnyConnect client connection. The URL must include only the domain name. Do not include a protocol or a path. See the following example for more information:
Step 1 Sign in to Cisco Unified CM Administration. Step 2 Go to the device page for the user. Step 3 Go to the Product Specific Configuration Layout section. Step 4 Enter the URL you identified before beginning this procedure in the On-Demand VPN URL field.
Note The URL must be a domain name only. Do not include a protocol or path.
Step 5 Select Save.
Disabling Connect on Demand VPN in the Corporate Wireless Network
ProcedurePerform the following steps to disable the Connect on Demand VPN feature in the corporate wireless network.
Step 1 Sign in to Cisco Unified CM Administration. Step 2 Go to the device page for the user. Step 3 Go to the Product Specific Configuration Layout section. Step 4 Set the Preset Wi-Fi Networks to up to three corporate Wi-Fi SSIDs separated by a slash (/). Step 5 Select Save.
