        What to Do Next

        Add a directory number to the device and apply the configuration.

        Set Up Secure Phone Capabilities

        You can optionally set up secure phone capabilities for CSF devices. Secure phone capabilities provide secure SIP signaling, secure media streams, and encrypted device configuration files.

        Configure the Security Mode

        To use secure phone capabilities, you must configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager security mode using the Cisco CTL Client. You cannot use secure phone capabilities with the nonsecure security mode. At a minimum, you must use mixed mode security.

        Mixed mode security:
        • Allows authenticated, encrypted, and nonsecure phones to register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
        • Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports both RTP and SRTP media.
        • Authenticated and encrypted devices use secure port 5061 to connect to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

        See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for instructions on configuring mixed mode with the Cisco CTL Client.

        Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide, Release 10.0(1)

        Create a Phone Security Profile

        The first step to setting up secure phone capabilities is to create a phone security profile that you can apply to the device.

        Before You Begin

        Configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager security to use mixed mode.

        Procedure
          Step 1   Select System > Security > Phone Security Profile.
          Step 2   Select Add New.
          Step 3   Select Cisco Unified Client Services Framework from the Phone Security Profile Type drop-down list and then select Next.

          The Phone Security Profile Configuration window opens.

          Configure the Phone Security Profile

          After you add a phone security profile, you must configure it to suit your requirements.

          Procedure
            Step 1   Specify a name for the phone security profile in the Name field on the Phone Security Profile Configuration window.
            Restriction:

            You must use fully qualified domain name (FQDN) format for the security profile name if users connect remotely to the corporate network through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.

            Step 2   Specify values for the phone security profile as follows:
            Device Security Mode
            Select one of the following:
            • Authenticated
            • Encrypted
            Transport Type
            Leave the default value of TLS.
            TFTP Encrypted Config

            Select this checkbox to encrypt the CSF device configuration file that resides on the TFTP server.

            Authentication Mode
            Select By Authentication String.
            Key Size (Bits)
            Select the appropriate key size for the certificate.
            Note   

            Key size refers to the bit length of the public and private keys that the client generates during the CAPF enrollment process.

            Cisco Jabber for Mac has been tested using authentication strings with 1024 bit length keys. The client requires more time to generate 2048 bit length keys than 1024 bit length keys. As a result, if you select 2048, you should expect it to take longer to complete the CAPF enrollment process.

            SIP Phone Port
            Leave the default value.

            The client always uses port 5061 to connect to Cisco Unified Communications Manager when you apply a secure phone profile. The port that you specify in this field only takes effect if you select Non Secure as the value for Device Security Mode.

            Step 3   Select Save.

            Configure CSF Devices

            Add the phone security profile to the devices and complete other configuration tasks for secure phone capabilities.

            Procedure
              Step 1   Open the CSF device configuration window.
              1. Select Device > Phone.

                The Find and List Phones window opens.

              2. Specify the appropriate filters in the Find Phone where field and then select Find to retrieve a list of devices.
              3. Select the CSF device from the list.

                The Phone Configuration window opens.

              Step 2   Select Allow Control of Device from CTI in the Device Information section.
              Step 3   Select Save.
              Step 4   Locate the Protocol Specific Information section.
              Step 5   Select the phone security profile from the Device Security Profile drop-down list.
              Step 6   Select Save.

              At this point in the secure phone set up, existing users can no longer use their CSF devices. You must complete the secure phone set up for users to be able to access their CSF devices.

              What to Do Next

              Specify the certificate settings and generate the authentication string for users.

              Specify Certificate Settings

              Specify certificate settings in the CSF device configuration and generate the authentication strings that you provide to users.

              Procedure
                Step 1   Locate the Certification Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) Information section on the Phone Configuration window.
                Step 2   Specify values as follows:
                Certificate Operation
                Select Install/Upgrade.
                Authentication Mode
                Select By Authentication String.
                Key Size (Bits)
                Select the same key size that you set in the phone security profile.
                Operation Completes By
                Specify an expiration value for the authentication string or leave as default.
                Step 3   Select Save.
                Step 4   Create the authentication string.
                You can do one of the following:
                • Select Generate String in the Certification Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) Information section.
                • Enter a custom string in the Authentication String field.
                What to Do Next

                Provide users with the authentication string.

                Provide Users with Authentication Strings

                Users must specify the authentication string in the client interface to access their CSF devices and securely register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                When users enter the authentication string in the client interface, the CAPF enrollment process begins.

                Note

                The time it takes for the enrollment process to complete can vary depending on the specifications of the user's computer and the current load for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It can take up to one minute for the client to complete the CAPF enrollment process.

                The client displays an error if:
                • Users enter an incorrect authentication string. Users can attempt to enter authentication strings again to complete the CAPF enrollment. However, if a user continually enters an incorrect authentication string, the client might reject any string the user enters, even if the string is correct. In this case, you must generate a new authentication string on the user's CSF device and then provide it to the user.
                • Users do not enter the authentication string before the expiration time you set in the Operation Completes By field. In this case, you must generate a new authentication string on the user's CSF device. The users must then enter that authentication string before the expiration time.
                Important:
                When you configure the end users in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must add them to the following user groups:
                • Standard CCM End Users
                • Standard CTI Enabled
                Users must not belong to the following user group:
                • Standard CTI Secure Connection

                Secure Phone Details

                Secure Connections
                If you enable secure phone capabilities, then:
                • SIP connections between CSF devices and Cisco Unified Communications Manager are over TLS.
                  • If you select Authenticated as the value for the Device Security Mode field on the phone security profile, the SIP connection is over TLS using NULL-SHA encryption.
                  • If you select Encrypted as the value for the Device Security Mode field on the phone security profile, the SIP connection is over TLS using AES 128/SHA encryption.
                • Mutual TLS ensures that only CSF devices with the correct certificates can register to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Likewise, CSF devices can register only to Cisco Unified Communications Manager instances that provide the correct certificate.

                If you enable secure phone capabilities for users, their CSF device connections to Cisco Unified Communications Manager are secure. If the other end point also has a secure connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, then the call can be secure. However, if the other end point does not have a secure connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, then the call is not secure.

                Encrypted Media
                If you select Encrypted as the value for the Device Security Mode field on the phone security profile, the client uses Secure Realtime Transport Protocol (SRTP) to offer encrypted media streams as follows:
                Media Stream Encryption
                Main video stream Can be encrypted
                Main audio stream Can be encrypted
                The ability to encrypt media depends on if the other end points also encrypt media, as in the following examples:
                • You enable media encryption for user A and user B. In other words, Device Security Mode is set to Encrypted on the phone security profile for the users' CSF devices.
                • You do not enable media encryption for user C. In other words, Device Security Mode is set to Authenticated on the phone security profile for the user's CSF device.
                • User A calls user B. The client encrypts the main video stream and audio stream.
                • User A calls user C. The client does not encrypt the main video stream and audio stream.
                • User A, user B, and user C start a conference call. The client does not encrypt the main video stream or audio stream for any user.

                Note
                The client displays the following lock icon when it can use SRTP for encrypted media streams to other secured clients or conference bridges:


                However, not all versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager provide the ability to display the lock icon. If the version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager you are using does not provide this ability, the client cannot display a lock icon even when it sends encrypted media.

                Using Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access
                Users cannot complete the enrollment process or use secure phone capabilities from outside the corporate network. This limitation also includes when users connects through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access; for example,
                1. You configure a user's CSF device for secure phone capabilities.
                2. That user connects to the internal corporate network through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.
                3. The client notifies the user that it cannot use secure phone capabilities instead of prompting the user to enter an authentication string.
                When users connect to the internal network through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access and participate in a call:
                • Media is encrypted on the call path between the Cisco Expressway-C and devices that are registered to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager using Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.
                • Media is not encrypted on the call path between the Cisco Expressway-C and devices that are registered locally to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                Note

                If you change the phone security profile while the client is connected through Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access, you must restart the client for that change to take effect.

                Stored Files
                The client stores the following information for secure phone capabilities:
                • Certificate trust list (.tlv)
                • Locally significant certificate (.lsc)
                • Private key for the CSF device (.key)

                The client downloads and stores certificate trust lists whenever you configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager security as mixed mode. Certificate trust lists enable the client to verify the identity of Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers.

                The client saves the locally significant certificates and private keys after users successfully enter the authentication code and complete the enrollment process. The locally significant certificate and private key enable the client to establish mutual TLS connections with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.


                Note

                The client encrypts the private key before saving it to the keychain.

                Conference Calls

                On conference, or multi-party, calls, the conferencing bridge must support secure phone capabilities. If the conferencing bridge does not support secure phone capabilities, calls to that bridge are not secure. Likewise, all parties must support a common encryption algorithm for the client to encrypt media on conference calls.

                CSF device security reverts to the lowest level available on multi-party calls. For example, user A, user B, and user C join a conference call. User A and user B have CSF devices with secure phone capabilities. User C has a CSF device without secure phone capabilities. In this case, the call is not secure for all users.

                Sharing Secure CSF Devices between Clients

                Clients that do not support secure phone capabilities cannot register to secure CSF devices.

                "For example, you set up secure phone capabilities on a CSF device. Two versions of Cisco Jabber register the device. However, one version of Cisco Jabber does not support secure phone capabilities. In this scenario, you must create two different CSF devices, one secure CSF device for Cisco Jabber that supports secure phone capabilities and another CSF device that is not secure for the other Cisco Jabber "

                Multiple Users on a Shared Mac OS Account

                Multiple users can have unique credentials for the client and share the same Mac account. However, the secure CSF devices are restricted to the Mac account that the users share. Users who share the same Mac account cannot make calls with their secure CSF devices from different Mac accounts.

                You should ensure that multiple users who share the same Mac account have CSF devices with unique names. Users cannot register their CSF devices if they share the same Mac account and have CSF devices with identical names, but connect to different Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters.

                For example, user A has a CSF device named CSFcompanyname and connects to cluster 1. User B has a CSF device named CSFcompanyname and connects to cluster 2. In this case, a conflict occurs for both CSF devices. Neither user A or user B can register their CSF devices after both users log in to the same Mac account.

                Multiple Users on a Shared Computer

                The client caches the certificates for each user's secure CSF device in a location that is unique to each Mac user. When a user logs in to their Mac account on the shared computer, that user can access only the secure CSF device that you provision to them. That user cannot access the cached certificates for other Mac users.

                Add a Directory Number to the Device

                You must add directory numbers to devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This topic provides instructions on adding directory numbers using the Device > Phone menu option after you create your device. Under this menu option, only the configuration settings that apply to the phone model or CTI route point display. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation for more information about different options to configure directory numbers.

                      Enable Video Rate Adaptation

                      The client uses video rate adaptation to negotiate optimum video quality. Video rate adaptation dynamically increases or decreases video quality based on network conditions.

                      To use video rate adaptation, you must enable Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                      Note

                      RTCP is enabled on software phone devices by default. However, you must enable RTCP on desk phone devices.

                      Enable RTCP on Common Phone Profiles

                      You can enable RTCP on a common phone profile to enable video rate adaptation on all devices that use the profile.

                      Procedure
                        Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                        Step 2   Select Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile.

                        The Find and List Common Phone Profiles window opens.

                        Step 3   Specify the appropriate filters in the Find Common Phone Profile where field and then select Find to retrieve a list of profiles.
                        Step 4   Select the appropriate profile from the list.

                        The Common Phone Profile Configuration window opens.

                        Step 7   Select Save.

                        Enable RTCP on Device Configurations

                        You can enable RTCP on specific device configurations instead of a common phone profile. The specific device configuration overrides any settings you specify on the common phone profile.

                        Procedure
                          Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.

                                  Specify Your TFTP Server Address

                                  The client gets device configuration from the TFTP server. For this reason, you must specify your TFTP server address when you provision users with devices.

                                  Attention:

                                  If the client gets the _cisco-uds SRV record from a DNS query, it can automatically locate the user's home cluster. As a result, the client can also locate the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP service.

                                  You do not need to specify your TFTP server address if you deploy the _cisco-uds SRV record.

                                  Specify Your TFTP Server on Cisco Unified Presence

                                  Complete the steps to specify the address of your TFTP server on Cisco Unified Presence.

                                        Dial Plan Mapping

                                        You configure dial plan mapping to ensure that dialing rules on Cisco Unified Communications Manager match dialing rules on your directory.

                                        Application Dial Rules

                                        Application dial rules automatically add or remove digits in phone numbers that users dial. Application dialing rules manipulate numbers that users dial from the client.

                                        For example, you can configure a dial rule that automatically adds the digit 9 to the start of a 7 digit phone number to provide access to outside lines.

                                        Directory Lookup Dial Rules

                                        Directory lookup dial rules transform caller ID numbers into numbers that the client can lookup in the directory. Each directory lookup rule you define specifies which numbers to transform based on the initial digits and the length of the number.

                                        For example, you can create a directory lookup rule that automatically removes the area code and two digit prefix digits from 10 digit telephone numbers. An example of this type of rule is to transform 4089023139 into 23139.

                                        Publish Dial Rules

                                        Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.5 or lower does not automatically publish dial rules to the client. For this reason, you must deploy a COP file to publish your dial rules. This COP file copies your dial rules from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database to an XML file on your TFTP server. The client can then download that XML file and access your dial rules.

                                        Remember:

                                        You must deploy the COP file every time you update or modify dial rules on Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.5 or lower.

                                        Before You Begin
                                        1. Create your dial rules in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
                                        2. Download the Cisco Jabber administration package from Cisco.com.
                                        3. Copy cmterm-csf-dialrule-wizard-0.1.cop.sgn from the Cisco Jabber administration package to your file system.
                                        Procedure
                                          Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified OS Administration interface.
                                          Step 2   Select Software Upgrades > Install/Upgrade.
                                          Step 3   Specify the location of cmterm-csf-dialrule-wizard-0.1.cop.sgn in the Software Installation/Upgrade window.
                                          Step 4   Select Next.
                                          Step 5   Select cmterm-csf-dialrule-wizard-0.1.cop.sgn from the Available Software list.
                                          Step 6   Select Next and then select Install.
                                          Step 7   Restart the TFTP service.
                                          Step 8   Open the dial rules XML files in a browser to verify that they are available on your TFTP server.
                                          1. Navigate to http://tftp_server_address:6970/CUPC/AppDialRules.xml.
                                          2. Navigate to http://tftp_server_address:6970/CUPC/DirLookupDialRules.xml.

                                          If you can access AppDialRules.xml and DirLookupDialRules.xml with your browser, the client can download your dial rules.

                                          Step 9   Repeat the preceding steps for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager instance that runs a TFTP service.
                                          What to Do Next

                                          After you repeat the preceding steps on each Cisco Unified Communications Manager instance, restart the client.
