CallManager AXL and Webdialer customer CA certificate

Hi,

I'm using CUCM7.01 and AXL and Webdialer requests. I have to use the customer's CA certificate for the user's browsers to accept automaticaly the CUCM certificate.

1) Do I have to configure the CUCM with DNS and domain name to have the FQDN in the CSR ? or simply enter the host A in DNS for user's name resolution without the CUCM having a domain name and having only hostname in CSR ?

2) Which of theese (CallManager or Tomcat certificate) do I have to upload for Webdialer and for AXL requests ?

Thanks in advance

Guy

Hi Michael and Thanks so much.

In fact I've developped a very simple script which "webdials" using Windows session user, then retrieving user related phone configuration with axl request and then then webdialing with proxy rights. So the user do not have to authenticate and do not have to accept cookies. But he has to accept the CUCM certificate for the script to work. It is not allowed in the customer's security rules if the certificate is self-signed.

One more question, when installing CUCM with DNS, does it have to see DNS server during install ?

I tried to configure this on a VMWare after install, I am no more able to reach cmplatform url (err 404) all other url's work well. Do you have any idea ?

Kind Regards

Guy

You don't need DNS on CUCM.  Setting the domain name on CUCM *just* to get it into CSR.

As long as the client computer can resolve the name in certificate via DNS, you're fine.

Hi Michael

When I try to configure a domain name (set network domain domain.name) the error message is

"Changing the networking domain name has no effect on the system because DNS is disabled"

Ya, that sounds pretty stupid.  Then you'll have to configure DNS.

My point was: the domain name doesn't have to be DNS resolvable.

I hope I'll have no trouble with CUCM resolution, when DNS is configured in CUCM, does it use DNS for all resolutions in the cluster or does it still use host table ?

It'll do both.  You may use the command "utils network host cucm.mydomain.com" to test.  You'll see that CUCM was trying to resolve it with host table and DNS (if configured).

ok

Thank you so much

Best regards
