Subject: [cisco-voip] Cisco Expressway for Jabber MRA query


Hi Gents,

I'm implementing Expressway C and E version 8.5.2 for MRA and i have the 
following client setup :

- Split horizon DNS.

- 2 domains as follows, Internal: domainX.local and external: domainX.com

- All UC servers are joining the internal domain, CUCM.domainX.local, 
IM&P.doaminX.local, CUC.domainX.local,....etc.

- Client has both local certificate authority (CA) to locally sign his servers 
certificates and also registered to public CA to sign his public servers 
certificates.

- I have EXP-C and EXP-E to enable the Mobile Remote Access for Jabber clients 
from outside.

I'm able to make the EXP-C either on internal domainX.local or external 
domainX.com and for sure the EXP-E on the DMZ will be on the domainX.com as it 
will be a public and will be accessed from internet.



my question is, should i place the EXP-C in the domainX.local (internal) or 
domainX.com (external) for the setup to work?

I have the following concerns in this regard:

- If i placed the EXP-C in the external domainX.com, will its communication 
with the internal UC servers which are all in the internal domain be okay ? and 
will the certificate trust relation with all UC servers and relation with the 
EXP-E will be fine?

I would put the EXP-C on the internal domain.

- If i placed the EXP-C in the internal will the certificate trust relation 
with all UC servers and relation with the EXP-E will be fine?

As longs as you have the cas that issue the certificates in both trusted lists 
you will be fine

- is it possible to have EXP-C certificates signed by local CA while the EXP-E 
certificates will be signed by public CA ? will it be okay?

Same as above

- is the "Unified CM phone security profile names" as a part of the data to be 
entered when generating the CSR in the EXP-C mandatory ? i mean do i have to 
use TLS for phones through this security profile or I can just enable the 
non-secure phone profile without TLS, and if i can use the non-secure phone 
profile, do i have to enter this field when generating the EXP-C CSR or can I 
leave it blank ?

Not sure I don't do secure phone traffic.

If any on have a working setup kindly brief me about it specially the domains 
and certificates parts.



I have all of this working minus the secure phones. My Expressway Cs are on my 
.local domain and have their certs from my AD CA, my E's are setup dual NIC and 
their certs are "real" public ssl certs and are on my .com. No issues.
