Chapter51 Configuring Cisco Unified Presence
Information About Cisco Unified Presence
Security Certificate Exchange Between Cisco UP and the Security Appliance
You need to generate the keypair for the certificate (such as cup_proxy_key) used by the ASA, and
configure a trustpoint to identify the self-signed certificate sent by the ASA to Cisco UP (such as
cup_proxy) in the TLS handshake.
For the ASA to trust the Cisco UP certificate, you need to create a trustpoint to identify the certificate
from the Cisco UP (such as cert_from_cup), and specify the enrollment type as terminal to indicate that
you will paste the certificate received from the Cisco UP into the terminal.
XMPP Federation Deployments
Figure 51-4 provides an example of an XMPP federated network between Cisco Unified Presence
enterprise deployment and an IBM Sametime enterprise deployment. TLS is optional for XMPP
federation. ASA acts only as a firewall for XMPP federation; it does not provide TLS proxy functionality
or PAT for XMPP federation.
Figure51-4 Basic XMPP Federated Network between CiscoUnified Presence and IBM Sametime
There are two DNS servers within the internal Cisco Unified Presence enterprise deployment. One DNS
server hosts the Cisco UnifiedPresence private address. The other DNS server hosts the Cisco Unified
Presence public address and a DNS SRV records for SIP federation (_sipfederationtle), and XMPP
federation (_xmpp-server) with Cisco Unified Presence. The DNS server that hosts the Cisco Unified
Presence public address is located in the local DMZ.
