[cisco-voip] Basic Jabber Deploy question

Tue Jan 6 19:38:52 EST 2015

Ed,

I've been testing some UDS stuff and it looks like all servers with TFTP
activated are listed in the UDS response for:
https://x.x.x.x:8443/cucm-uds/user/bmeade/devices
under the provision section of the CSF device:

<name>CSFbmeade</name>
<model>Cisco Unified Client Services Framework</model>
<product>390</product>
<description/>
<protocol>SIP</protocol>
<provision>
<uri>http://x.x.x.x:6970/CSFbmeade.cnf.xml</uri>
<uri>http://y.y.y.y:6970/CSFbmeade.cnf.xml</uri>
<uri>http://z.z.z.z:6970/CSFbmeade.cnf.xml</uri>
</provision>

You just need to replace "bmeade" with your username and login with your
end user credentials.

I don't see any way to change this behavior or set any priorities that I
have found.
