They should make it so that Expressway can be a proxy for the pictures. Then we can stop having to export pictures to a web server.

That's good news. That will be a good start.

I'm not sure about moving from to AD to LDAP as our source. There are other issues there, namely LDAP version compatibility.

I'll have to see about convincing the AD team to import the vanity accounts into the domain. Even if they import them into a hidden container, I should be able to create another import config to bring those in.

Another question if you don't mind.

With URI dialing, which extension does it use?

That is configurable via the CUCM Ldap Directory configuration. What is returned when searching is not related to the primary extension on the user account. The CUCM LDAP directory configuration allows you to pick from telephoneNumber or ipPhone.

You're not limited to connecting only to Active Directory. I would look into bringing in that other LDAP directory source.

Thanks Josh.

Right now we create pseudo-userids in our LDAP directory for just about any directory entry users want, e.g. College of Arts, so they can find the extension easily. This extends to many, many non user based entries. This allows us to have a many to one relationship directory entries to extensions. This is what we use as our public facing telephone directory.

Unless there is another directory search option available with jabber (over expressway), it means that only those users that are imported via AD into CUCM will be searchable.

In our current deployment, only a subset of LDAP entries are populated into AD. So we wouldn't get the correct results.

Question: when it does return results, does it return the telephone number in the user's AD profile? Or does it use the primary extension configured?

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.  :)

Talking about stuff sneaking out, expressway 8.5 is on CCO.  Here is the release notes:

The Expressway can now work with the Cisco DX Series endpoints, and with the 8800 Series and 7800
