Configuration Workflow for Partitioned Intradomain Federation with Skype for Business
Use the following workflow to configure partitioned intradomain federation between IM and Presence Service and Microsoft Skype for Business servers.
This configuration supports both chat-only deployments and chat+calling deployments.
IM and Presence Service Configuration
-
Verify that the required presence domains are configured on all IM and Presence Service nodes in the cluster. For instructions to view the configured domains on IM and Presence Service and to add new local presence domains, see Configuration and Administration of IM and Presence Service on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
-
For chat-only deployments with multiple nodes, configure a dedicated routing node, see Configure Routing Node for IM and Presence.
-
Start essential services for cluster nodes, see Start Feature Services for Cluster.
-
Use the Federation wizard to configure federation settings with Skype for Business, including TLS static routes, TLS peers, access control lists, and application listener ports, see Configure Intradomain Federation.
-
Configure CA certificates for IM and Presence Service:
-
Import root certificate of the Certificate Authority (CA), see Import Root Certificate of Certificate Authority.
-
Request a CA signed certificate, see Generate Certificate Signing Request for IM and Presence Service.
-
Import the CA signed certificate, see Import Signed Certificate from CA.
-
Expressway Gateway Configuration
For chat + calling deployments only. On the Expressway Gateway, configure Microsoft interoperability and enable the SIP broker. For Expressway Gateway configuration details, refer to the Enable Chat / Presence from Microsoft Clients section of the Cisco Expressway with Microsoft Infrastructure Deployment Guide at:
Note |
For chat-only deployments, you do not need to deploy the Expressway Gateway. |
Skype for Business Configuration
-
On the Skype for Business servers, set up static routes that point to the IM and Presence Service routing node, see Configure Static Route from Skype for Business.
-
On the Skype for Business server, assign the IM and Presence Service as a trusted application and add the IM and Presence cluster nodes to a trusted servers pool, see Configure Trusted Applications.
-
After you add the IM and Presence Service cluster nodes, publish the Skype for Business topology, see Publish Topology.
-
Exchange certificates between IM and Presence and Skype for Business, see Exchange Certificates.
