[cisco-voip] do you allow access to Cisco PCA for all your users?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

We are not currently offering Cisco PCA because Unity Connection along with CUCM has the admin ports and user ports on the SAME ports. Typically admin web pages are on a different port to protect them from users and hack attempts, basically allow access to admin ports from trusted networks. 

We have deployed a reverse proxy to allow access to CUCM user pages but even that was difficult because the CCM user pages reference images in the ccmadmin directory. *sigh* 

We were not able to get a reverse proxy to PCA working because the media master bar was not working through the reverse proxy. We didn't try to hard, but we were pretty sure this java app had the system's IP address hardcoded so the reverse proxy couldn't rewrite it (or something like that). 

What makes things worse is that when you go to the root http page, i.e. just the IP address, it has a link to the administration pages!

I’m curious to know how many of the list readers allow access to Cisco PCA for all their users. 



It is worth the trouble to enable this portal? 



I will like to know your opinion and any other stories related to PCA that you want to share. 



BTW, we are running Unity Connection 7.1(5). 



Thanks and have a great weekend.
