[cisco-voip] CUMA and ASA as Proxy

[Voice Noob]

I have a procedure on how to make the self signed certs work on my phone.
That is the least of my problems or concerns. If it does not work that's
fine but I have to try. We are only looking at a pilot of about two phones.
If we do a customer deployment we will have them get a correct cert.

In the below step do I create the cert using the name of my Cisco ASA or of
the name of my CUMA server?

For New Installations) How to Obtain and Import the Cisco Adaptive Security
Appliance-to-Client Certificate 
This procedure is required unless you are upgrading from Release 3.1.2 and
reusing your signed certificate from your Proxy Server. 

This procedure has several subprocedures: 

.Generate a Certificate Signing Request 

.Submit the Certificate Signing Request to the Certificate Authority 

.Upload the Signed Certificate to the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 

Generate a Certificate Signing Request 
Before You Begin 

.Obtain the IP address and fully qualified domain name for the Proxy Host
Name as specified in Obtaining IP Addresses and DNS Names from IT, page 1-3.


.Determine required values for your company or organization name,
organizational unit, country, and state or province. See the table in
Creating Security Contexts, page 9-7. You must enter identical values in the
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance and in the relevant security context in
Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage. 

Procedure 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Step 1 Enter configuration mode: 

conf t 

Step 2 Generate a key pair for this certificate: 

crypto key generate rsa label <keypair-cuma-signed> modulus 1024 

You will see a "Please wait..." message; look carefully for the prompt to
reappear. 

Step 3 Create a trustpoint with the necessary information to generate the
certificate request: 

crypto ca trustpoint <trustpoint-cuma-signed> 

subject-name CN=<Proxy Host Name of the Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage
server. Use the Fully Qualified Domain Name.>,OU=<organization unit
name>,O=<company or organization name as publicly registered>,C=<2 letter
country code>,St=<state>,L=<city> 

(For requirements for the Company, organization unit, Country, and State
values, see the values you determined in the prerequisite for this
procedure.) 

keypair <keypair-cuma-signed> 

fqdn <Proxy Host Name of the Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage server. This
value must exactly match the value you entered for CN above.> 

enrollment terminal 

Step 4 Get the certificate signing request to send to the Certificate
Authority: 

crypto ca enroll <trustpoint-cuma-signed> 

% Start certificate enrollment. 

% The subject name in the certificate will be:CN=<Proxy Host Name of the
Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage server>,OU=<organization unit
name>,O=<organization name>,C=<2 letter country code>,St=<state>,L=<city> 

% The fully-qualified domain name in the certificate will be: <Proxy Host
Name of the Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage server> 

% Include the device serial number in the subject name? [yes/no]: no 

% Display Certificate Request to terminal? [yes/no]: yes 

Step 5 Copy the entire text of the displayed Certificate Signing Request and
paste it into a text file. 

Include the following lines. Make sure that there are no extra spaces at the
end. 

----BEGIN CERTIFICATE---- 

----END CERTIFICATE---- 

Step 6 Save the text file.

I am going through this battle right now

As far as self signed certs the response from the BU was that they are  
completely not supported as mobile phones do not do certs "well".  In  
other words if you can manage to get the CA of your domain onto your  
phone it might work for a week or two but then it might fail.  The BU  
states that you need to use a verisign cert or GEOTrust.

Let me know if you need more help.
