Share my knowledge and new discovery in the Unified Communications and Collaboration field
CAPF use LSC Certificate with CUCM 11.5 and earlier versions. With 12.5 SU1 you have the possiblility to onboard phones using Activation codes using the OAuth 2 for Soft clients like Jabber and IP Phones that support SIP Protocols like 7800 and 8800
In Unified Communications Manager, you can auto provision the Webex App or Cisco Jabber devices when new LDAP users are synchronized from Microsoft Active Directory. The Write back to LDAP option allows you to write the Primary DN chosen from Unified CM back to the LDAP server. LDAP attributes available for write back are: telephoneNumber, ipPhone, and mobile.
User Interface Updates
To support this feature, the following menu items are updated in the Cisco Unified CM Administration user interface:

This method of corporate directory access relies on the Unified CM UDS service resolving or proxying directory searches against the corporate LDAP directory rather than using the local user directory. UDS-to-LDAP proxy allows Jabber users to search against the entire corporate directory rather than being limited by the local Unified CM cluster end-user database.
This enables Jabber clients to search a corporate directory that exceeds the
number of users supported within Unified CM
SOURCE Cisco Systems, Inc
UDS provides a contact source API that can be used by Jabber over Cisco Expressway mobile and remote access (MRA) for the contact source.The UDS contact source uses the Unified CM end user table information to provide a contact lookup service.
Beginning with Cisco Unified CM 11.5, the UDS-to-LDAP Proxy feature can also be used for contact searches. When enabled, contact searches are still handled by UDS but are proxied to the corporate LDAP directory, with UDS relaying results back to the Jabber client. This enables Jabber clients to search a corporate directory that exceeds the maximum number of users supported within Unified CM.
The UDS contact service is always used for remote Jabber clients connected over MRA access and it is an optional contact service for clients on the corporate network. You can populate the UDS contact source data by using the Unified CM web interface (by creating end users),by using the LDAP sync function to Active Directory or other supported LDAP source, or by using the UDS-to-LDAP Proxy function.
While the UDS service runs on all nodes in the Unified CM cluster, when configuring DNS SRV records for Unified CM UDS service, administrators should configure records for resolution to Unified CM subscriber nodes only. This ensures that client interaction with the UDS service avoids the publisher node and instead distributes the load across call processing nodes within the cluster.

Applies to Cisco Jabber desktop clients In deployments with Unified Communications Manager Release 12.5(1) and later, Jabber can support Unified CM’s on-demand recording using Jabber’s Built-In Bridge (BiB). By default, if the user joins a conference call that has an external bridge set up to record calls, Jabber uses that external bridge for recording.
Some organizations might prefer all recording to use the Jabber BiB for compliance reasons. You can use the Prefer_BIB_Recorder parameter to enforce recording on the Jabber BiB. The allowed values are:
• true—Use the Jabber BiB recorder for all calls.
• false (default)—If available, record on the external bridge.

Emergency Responder uses the following methods (in priority order) to
identify an emergency caller’s location:
LogPartitionLowWaterMarkExceeded alarm is generated when the used disk space percentage in Log partition reaches the configured Low WaterMark value. This alarm should be taken as an early notification for an administrator to clean up the disk space.
CUCM won’t start an automated cleanup process until the High WaterMark value will be reached.
show status command will list you all the partitions and its usage (See the image below)
These are the three partitions created in an UC application like CUCM during installation.
Disk/active – holds the current version and its configuration
Disk/inactive – contains the previous version in case you need to swithc after an upgrade for any reason
Disk/logging – this is also called common partition which holds all the enabled log/trace files and also used to store the upgrade iso file during upgrade temporarily
