Unified CCE Solution Compatibility Matrix for 11.6(x)

 

Go to: Unified CCE Solution Compatibility Matrix for 11.6(x) (Display-optimized HTML)
Go to: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Compatibility Information (Index)

 

The Unified Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) Solution Compatibility Matrix includes all Cisco Unified CCE solution component information, such as Finesse, Unified Intelligence Center, and Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP). This compatibility matrix specifies all supported configurations and versions for the Cisco Unified CCE 11.6(x) release. The information in this compatibility matrix supersedes compatibility information in any other Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise documentation. If a configuration or version is not stated, that configuration or version is not supported.

Note:

The Compatibility Matrix specifies all supported third-party softwares (like Avaya, Nortel, and VMware) and its versions. Support for these software versions and their interoperability depends on the release cycles (patches and upgrades) of the third-party software. For example, support for ESXi depends on VMware release cycles.

SSO Identity Providers (top)

Unified CCE supports SAML 2.0. Therefore, Unified CCE supports all SAML 2.0 compliant IdPs.
Refer to the respective IdP documentation for information about how to implement the IdP for Unified CCE.
The following is the list of SAML 2.0 compliant IdPs that are tested with this Unified CCE release:

Microsoft AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services)

2.0, 2.1, and 3.0

PingFederate

8.2.2.0

OpenAM

10.0.1

Shiboleth

3.3.0

F5

13.0

Additional Information:

CCMP 11.6(1) and ECE 11.6(1) only support Microsoft AD FS 2012 R2 with WS-Federation via JSON Web Token (JWT). Cisco Unified CCE solutions using SSO with CCMP or ECE must use Microsoft AD FS 2012 R2 as primary IdP for Cisco IdS, CCMP, and ECE. However, user authentication access to UCCE, CCMP, and ECE can be provided by one of the above IdPs via Federated Trust with Microsoft AD FS. Federated Trust is supported per Microsoft AD FS and third party IdP documentation and support.

For ECE:

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Datacenter editions Unified ICM/CCE is qualified to only work on a retail installation of the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Standard  and Datacenter editions. Cisco does not support Unified ICM/CCE on a customized Microsoft Windows image (for example, a corporate image). If you use a customized image of the Microsoft Windows operating system, the Unified ICM/CCE application can fail.
Microsoft Windows Active Directory Cisco Unified CCE and Unified ICM supports Microsoft Windows Active Directory on Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, and 2016.
Active Directory 2016 is supported with Windows Server 2012 R2 as the maximum domain functional level.
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition
