[cisco-voip] Expressway 8.5 is out

[Josh Warcop]

That really isn't a UDS issue either. Active Directory doesn't provide an HTTPS interface for accessing that data. Android and generally IOS are not domain members and do not use EDI so UDS and BDI need considered. Also at this point IM & Presence needs a external server for several features. I use an export script to pull pictures from Active Directory hosting them on the external server via HTTPS. This allows BDI/UDS clients access to the corporate photos internal and through Expressway.  That same external server is used for the PostGRE database and now managed file transfer.

It seems UDS isn’t that great when pictures are in AD, for user info, it should be the same?

I'm trying to understand what you're pointing out. Expressway is an HTTPS proxy so there wouldn't be any LDAP sent over the Internet. So UDS serves that purpose so that off premise clients can search the directory.

>From what I'm reading this is more of your security setup and nothing wrong particularly with UDS. Are you saying your directory on CUCM is invalid?

Direct Access isn't supported and I wouldn't recommend it. There are more clients to consider than endpoints that run Windows.

I notice contact search is limited to UDS still. I was hoping LDAP would have been enabled.



We have scenarios where people don't want their extensions known, so through LDAP we publish public extensions for those people.



With UDS, it looks like it reveals this information, especially if you dial via URI.



It also seems there are are few limitations when using the expressway solution vs direct access.



In all honest, I was hoping to deploy expressway as an on-campus solution as well.



We don't have a split view DNS set up, which I'm gathering is what is necessary to deploy Expressway for MRA only for off campus.



I'm just starting to read up on this stuff, so I might be off my rocker in some areas.  :)
