• No local users (except for Admin and API access)
• LDAP Mapping can create personal Spaces with a primary and secondary Space and

• Should not overlap with other URIs in the network
• Multiple LDAP sources

Certificates
• Each service requires a certificate:
• WebAdmin, XMPP, WebBridge, CallBridge, Loadbalancer, Trunk, Database Cluster,
Recording Server, Streaming Server
• Encryption is mandatory! Certificate Types
• Can share certificates between services Self-signed by CMS
Private CA Signed
• Database / Microsoft Interop present
Public CA Signed
unique requirements
Plan certificates in advance and combine where possible!
Redundancy and Scale
Benefits Cluster Options
• Increased capacity • Database Cluster
• Spaces, Users, Dial Plan, Cluster-
• Resilience wide configuration
• Geographic optimization • Provides Resiliency
• Call Bridge Cluster

• Distributed calls for capacity &
Other core components, such as resiliency
Web Bridge, can be deployed on
multiple servers for redundancy and • XMPP Cluster
load distribution • Provides Resiliency
CMS Dial plan: Call Processing
CMS ALWAYS uses domain-based routing to determine call treatment
Incoming Call Rules Forwarding Rules Outgoing Call Rules
• Is the call for this CMS? • Should the call be • Destination?

• For spaces, users, IVR? forwarded? • Standards-based or
• Is the call for Lync / S4B? • If domain not matched, Lync trunk type
by default reject the call • Any transformation?
• If no match for domain,
check Forwarding rules
Microsoft Interop
Skype for Business Integration Types
Rendezvous : Video and S4B Endpoints meet in a CMS space
Gateway : call goes across CMS for adaptation and transcoding

Tips & Tricks
Click
• Use Copy / Paste!!!
• CMS CLI / Web pages time out FAST
Right-Click
• CLI / SSH sessions:
Click to open Putty/SSH session, then right-click to paste password
• All device credentials are: admin with password c1sco123
Tips & Tricks
• Redundant tasks often have shortcuts to configure automatically and allow
you to skip ahead.
• At the end of each section, check your work

• Click to call: In most cases, you can click on a link to place the call via
Jabber. Exceptions are when the call is to be placed from one of the
Remote Desktop sessions. In those cases copy/paste can be used.

Cisco Meeting Server Certificate Requirements
Component Certificate Type Comments
WebAdmin self-signed
Public CA Signed
WebBridge self-signed Public CA signed certificate required only if
Public CA Signed CMA WebRTC is used
CallBridge self-signed Self-signed certificates cannot be used in a

Public CA Signed Skype/Lync deployment.
Deployments with TLS SIP Trunks cannot use
self signed certificates.
Trunk self-signed
Public CA Signed
LoadBalancer self-signed
Public CA Signed
Database Cluster Public CA Signed Self-signed certificates cannot be used in a

clustered deployment
Recorder Server self-signed Applications that interface to external devices require Public CA
certificates. Applications that interface internally in the Cisco
Streaming Server self-signed Meeting Server only require certificates signed by an Internal CA.
Self-signed certificates can be created via the MMP interface on
Cisco Meeting however it is strongly recommended that self-
signed certificates only be used for test environments.
Cisco Meeting Server DNS Requirements
Record Type Example Resolves to Description
SRV (*) _xmpp-client._ tcp.example.com The A record xmpp.example.com below. Used by clients to login. The SRV record must
Usually this is port 5222. correspond to the domain used in your XMPP
usernames
SRV (*) _xmpp-server._ tcp.example.com The A record xmpp.example.com below. Used to federate between XMPP servers. The
Usually this is port 5269 SRV record must correspond to the domain
used in your XMPP usernames
A xmpp.example.com IP address of either the XMPP server or a Used by clients to login
Load Balancer which is configured to trunk
to the XMPP server.
A / AAAA join.example.com IP address of Web Bridge This record is not used by the CMS directly;
however, it is common practice to provide an
end user with an FQDN to type into the browser
which resolves to the Web Bridge. There is no
restriction or requirement on the format of this
record.
A / AAAA ukcore1.example.com IP address of the Call Bridge Used by the Lync FE server to contact the Call
nycore1.example.com Bridge
A / AAAA ukcoreadmin.example.com IP address of the MMP Interface This record is used purely for admin pur- poses;
when system administrators prefer a FQDN to
remember for each MMP interface.
SRV (*) _sipinternaltls._tcp.fe.lync-domain.com The A record of the Lync FE server or If you have an FE pool, you can have multiple
FE records pointing to individual FE servers
FE Pool within the pool
A / AAAA fe.lync-domain.com IP address of the Lync FE server You will need one record for each individual FE
server
