Security Overview
Implementing security mechanisms in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system prevents identity theft of the phones and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, data tampering, and call-signaling/media-stream tampering.
The Cisco IP telephony network establishes and maintains authenticated communication streams, digitally signs files before transferring the file to the phone, and encrypts media streams and call signaling between
Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Security Icons
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides security status for a call, according to security levels that are configured for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server(s) and devices that are participating in the call.
Phones that support security icons display the call security level.
• The phone displays a shield icon for calls with a signaling security level of authenticated. A shield identifies a secured connection between Cisco IP devices, which means that the devices have authenticated or encrypted signaling.
• The phone displays a lock icon for calls with encrypted media, which means that the devices are using encrypted signaling and encrypted media.
Note
Some phone models display only the lock icon.
The security status of a call can change for point-to-point, intracluster, intercluster, and multihop calls. SCCP line, SIP line, and H.323 signaling support notification of call security status changes to participating endpoints.
Refer to topics related to security icons and encryption for restrictions that are associated with security icons.
The audio and video portions of the call provide basis for the call security status. Consider the call secure only if both the audio and video portions are secure. The following table describes the rules that determine whether a security icon displays, and which icon appears.

Interactions
This section describes how Cisco security features interact with Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications.
Presence
To add presence group authorization for phones and trunks that are running SIP, configure presence groups to restrict presence requests to authorized users.
10
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Interactions and Restrictions
Note
Refer to the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for more information about configuring presence groups.
To allow presence requests on SIP trunks, configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accept presence requests on the SIP trunk and, if required, configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accept and authenticate incoming presence requests from the remote device or application.
SIP Trunk
To use SIP-initiated transfer features and other advanced transfer-related features on SIP trunks, such as Web
Transfer and Click to Dial, configure the SIP Trunk Security Profile to accept incoming Out of Dialog REFER requests.
To provide support for event reporting (such as MWI support) and to reduce per-call MTP allocations (from a voice-messaging server, for example), configure the SIP Trunk Security Profile to accept Unsolicited
Notification SIP requests.
To allow Cisco Unified Communications Manager to transfer an external call on a SIP trunk to an external device or party (in attended transfer, for example), configure the SIP Trunk Security Profile to accept SIP requests with replaces header in REFERS and INVITES.
Extension Mobility
For extension mobility, the SIP digest credentials change when a user logs in and out because different credentials are configured for different end users.
CTI
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant supports a secure connection to CTI (transport layer security connection) when you configure a CAPF profile (one for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Assistant node).
When multiple instances of a CTI/JTAPI/TAPI application are running, CTI TLS support requires you to configure a unique instanceID (IID) for every application instance to secure signaling and media communication streams between CTI Manager and JTAPI/TSP/CTI applications.
When the device security mode equals authenticated or encrypted, the Cisco Unity-CM TSP connects to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TLS port. When the security mode equals nonsecure, the Cisco Unity TSP connects to Cisco Unified Communications Manager through the CTI Manager port.
Restrictions
This section describes restrictions that apply to Cisco security features.

Authentication and Encryption
Consider the following restrictions before you install and configure authentication and encryption features:
• You cannot implement signaling or media encryption without device authentication. To install device authentication, enable the Cisco CTL Provider service and install and configure the Cisco CTL client.
• Cisco does not support Network Address Translation (NAT) with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager if you configure mixed mode.
You can enable UDP in the firewall to allow media stream firewall traversal. Enabling UDP allows the media source on the trusted side of the firewall to open a bidirectional media flow through the firewall by sending the media packet through the firewall.
Tip
Hardware DSP resources cannot initiate this type of connection and, therefore, must exist outside the firewall.
Signaling encryption does not support NAT traversal. Instead of using NAT, consider using LAN extension
VPNs.
Barge and Encryption
The following restrictions apply to barge and encryption:
• Due to bandwidth requirements, Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940G and 7960G do not support barge from an encrypted device on an active encrypted call. The barge attempt will fail. A tone plays on the initiator phone to indicate that the barge failed.
• Encrypted Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.2 or earlier can only barge an active call as authenticated or nonsecure participants.
• If a caller barges a secure SCCP call, the system uses an internal tone-playing mechanism at the target device, and the status remains secure.
• If a caller barges a secure SIP call, the system provides tone-on-hold, and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager classifies the call as nonsecure during the tone.
Note
Nonsecure or authenticated Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.3 or later can barge encrypted calls. The security icon indicates the security status for the conference.

Wideband Codecs and Encryption
The following information applies for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G or 7940G that are configured for encryption and associated with a wideband codec region. This only applies to Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G or 7940G that are configured for TLS/SRTP.
To establish an encrypted call, Cisco Unified Communications Manager ignores the wideband codec and chooses another supported codec from the codec list that the phone presents. If the other devices in the call are not configured for encryption, Cisco Unified Communications Manager may establish the authenticated/nonsecure call by using the wideband codec.
Media Resources and Encryption
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports authenticated and encrypted calls between secure Cisco
Unified IP Phones (SCCP or SIP), secure CTI devices/route points, secure Cisco MGCP IOS gateways, secure
SIP trunks, secure H.323 gateways, secure conference bridges, and secure H.323/H.245/H.225 trunks where no media resources are used. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not provide media encryption in the following cases:
• Calls that involve transcoders
• Call that involve media termination points
• Calls that involve music on hold (except for secure conference bridge calls)
Phone Support and Encryption
The following Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SCCP support encryption: 6901, 6911, 6921, 6941,
6945, 6961, 7906G, 7911G, 7925G, 7925G-EX, 7926G, 7931G, 7940G, 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7942G, 7945G,
7960G, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7962G, 7965G, 7975G, 8941, and 8945. The following Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SIP support encryption: 6901, 6911, 6921, 6941, 6945, 6961, 7906G, 7911G, 7941G,
7941G-GE, 7942G, 7961G, 7961G-GE,7962G, 7965G, 7971G-GE, 7975G, 8941, 8945, 8961, 9971, and
9971.
For more information, see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that support encryption and this version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Warning
To obtain the full benefit of security features, Cisco recommends that you upgrade Cisco Unified IP Phones to release 8.3, which supports the encryption features in this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release. Encrypted phones that run earlier releases do not fully support these new features. These phones can participate in secure conference and barge calls only as authenticated or nonsecure participants.
Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.3 with an earlier release of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager will display their connection security status, not the conference security status, during a conference or barge call, and do not support secure conference features like conference list.

Interactions and Restrictions
Phone Support and Encrypted Setup Files
Not all phones support encrypted configuration files. Some phones support encrypted configuration files but do not validate file signatures. Except for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905G and 7912G, all phones that support encrypted configuration files require firmware that is compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Release 5.0 or later to receive full encrypted configuration files. Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905G and 7912G use existing security mechanisms and do not require new firmware for this feature.

Phone Model Support, on page 117
Security Icons and Encryption
The following restrictions apply to security icons and encryption:
• The encryption lock icon may not display on the phone when you perform tasks such as transferring or putting a call on hold; the status changes from encrypted to nonsecure if the media streams that are associated with these tasks, such as MOH, are not encrypted.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not display the shield icon for calls that are transiting
H.323 trunks.
• For calls that involve the PSTN, the security icon shows the security status for only the IP domain portion of the call.
• A SIP trunk will report encrypted or not-authenticated security status when using the TLS transport type.
When SRTP is negotiated, the security status will get encrypted; otherwise it will remain not-authenticated.
This will allow Cisco Unified Communications Manager call control to determine the overall security level of a call that involves a SIP trunk.
A SIP trunk will report authenticated status over the trunk if a party is authenticated during events such as a meet-me conference or a cbarge. (The SIP trunk will still be using TLS/SRTP.)
• For Secure Monitoring and Recording, a SIP trunk will utilize the existing Call Info header mechanism for transmitting the security icon status over the SIP trunk, as currently used by the SIP line. This enables the SIP trunk peer to monitor the overall security status of a call.
• Some phone models display only the lock icon, not the shield icon.

Secure Conference Icons, on page 179
Cluster and Device Security Modes
Note
Device security mode configures the security capability for a Cisco Unified IP Phone or SIP trunk. Cluster security mode configures the security capability for your standalone server or a cluster.
When the cluster security mode equals nonsecure, the device security mode equals nonsecure in the phone configuration file. In these circumstances, the phone makes nonsecure connections with the SRST-enabled gateway and Cisco Unified Communications Manager, even if the device security mode specifies authenticated or encrypted. Security-related settings other than device security mode, such as the SRST Allowed check box,
14
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Best Practices
also get ignored. The security configuration does not get deleted in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, but security does not get provided.
The phone attempts a secure connection to the SRST-enabled gateway only when the cluster security mode equals mixed, the device security mode in the phone configuration file is set to authenticated or encrypted, the SRST Allowed? check box is checked in the Trunk Configuration window, and a valid SRST certificate exists in the phone configuration file.
Digest Authentication and Encryption
Cisco Unified Communications Manager defines a SIP call as having two or more separate call legs. For a standard, two-party call between two SIP devices, two separate call legs exist: one leg between the originating
SIP user agent and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (the originating call leg) and the other leg between
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and destination SIP user agent (the terminating call leg). Each call leg represents a separate dialog. Because digest authentication is a point-to-point process, digest authentication on each call leg stays independent of the other call legs. SRTP capabilities can change for each call leg, depending on the capabilities that are negotiated between the user agents.
Packet Capturing and Encryption
When SRTP encryption is implemented, third-party sniffing tools do not work. Authorized administrators with appropriate authentication can initiate packet capturing with a configuration change in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration (for devices that support packet capturing). See the Troubleshooting
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that supports this release for information about configuring packet capturing in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Best Practices
Cisco strongly recommends the following best practices:
• Always perform installation and configuration tasks in a secure lab environment before you deploy to a wide-scale network.
• Use IPSec for gateways and other application servers at remote locations.
Warning
Failure to use IPSec in these instances results in session encryption keys getting transmitted in the clear.
• To prevent toll fraud, configure conference enhancements that are described in the System Configuration
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager . Likewise, you can perform configuration tasks to restrict external transferring of calls. For information on how to perform this task, refer to the Feature
Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .

Media Encryption with Barge Setup
When you attempt to configure barge for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G and 7940G that are configured for encryption, the following message displays:
Attention
If you configure encryption for Cisco Unified IP Phone models 7960 and 7940, those encrypted devices cannot accept a barge request when they are participating in an encrypted call. When the call is encrypted, the barge attempt fails.
The message displays when you perform the following tasks in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration:
• You update the Cluster Security Mode parameter in the CTL client.
• You update the Builtin Bridge Enable parameter in the Service Parameter window.
This message does not display in the Phone Configuration window when an encrypted security profile is configured for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G and 7940G and you choose Defaultfor the Built In Bridge setting (or the default setting equals Default); however, the same restriction applies.
Tip
For changes to take effect, you must reset the dependent Cisco IP devices.

CTL Client, SSL, CAPF, and Security Token Installation
CTL Client, SSL, CAPF, and Security Token Installation
To obtain authentication support, you can use one of the following options:
1
Install the Cisco CTL client, from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. For the Cisco
CTL client option, you must obtain at least two security tokens.
2
Use the CLI command set utils ctl, which does not require security tokens. For more information about this option, see the Command Line Interface Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
Media and signaling encryption capabilities automatically install when you install Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically installs Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager virtual directories.
Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) installs automatically as a part of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration.
TLS and IPSec
Transport security handles the coding, packing, and sending of data. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides the following secure transport protocols:
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides secure and reliable data transfer between two systems or devices, by using secure ports and certificate exchange. TLS secures and controls connections among
Cisco Unified Communications Manager-controlled systems, devices, and processes to prevent access to the voice domain. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses TLS to secure SCCP calls to phones that are running SCCP and SIP calls to phones or trunks that are running SIP.
• IP Security (IPSec) provides secure and reliable data transfer between Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and gateways. IPSec implements signaling authentication and encryption to Cisco IOS MGCP and H.323 gateways.
You can add secure RTP (SRTP) to TLS and IPSec transport services for the next level of security on devices that support SRTP. SRTP authenticates and encrypts the media stream (voice packets) to ensure that voice conversations that originate at or terminate to Cisco Unified IP Phones and either TDM or analog voice gateway ports are protected from eavesdroppers who may have gained access to the voice domain. SRTP adds protection against replay attacks.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 9.0 provides TLS/SRTP support for dual-mode smart phones. TLS establishes the same secure and reliable data transfer mode for mobile phones as for IP phones, and SRTP encrypts voice conversations.
Certificates
Certificates secure client and server identities. After root certificates are installed, certificates get added to the root trust stores to secure connections between users and hosts, including devices and application users.
Administrators can view the fingerprint of server certificates, regenerate self-signed certificates, and delete trust certificates at the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System GUI.
Administrators can also regenerate and view self-signed certificates at the command line interface (CLI).
18
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Certificates
For information on updating the CallManager trust store and managing certificates, refer to the Administration
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that supports this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports only PEM (.pem) and DER (.der) formatted certificates.
Note
When you upload two certificates, ensure that they have same common name and same validity period but different serial numbers and signature algorithms.
For example, root CA with
27:20:41:0c:5b:08:69:80:42:62:4f:13:bd:16:06:6a serial number and
SHA1 algorithm exists in Cisco Unified Communications Manager tomcat-trust. When you attempt to upload the certificate with
7b:35:33:71:0b:7c:08:b2:47:b3:aa:f9:5c:0d:ca:e4 serial number and
SHA256 algorithm, the certificate management happens in the following way:
1
The validity of incoming certificate is verified.
2
The certificate with same common name is searched in the Tomcat trust folder.
3
The serial numbers of the certificate existing in the Tomcat trust folder and the incoming certificate that you are uploading is checked. If the serial numbers are different, the validity start date of both the certificates is verified. If the validity start time stamp of incoming certificate is later than the validity start time stamp of the existing certificate, the existing certificate replaces the newer incoming certificate in the Tomcat trust folder. Else, the new incoming certificate is not uploaded.
Both SHA1 and SHA256 algorithms have same subject name or common name, which implies that they belong to the same entity. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager framework does not support both these algorithms on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server simultaneously. Only one certificate that belongs to any entity is supported in a particular trust folder, irrespective of the signature algorithm.

Phone Certificate Types
Cisco uses the following certificate types in phones:
• Manufacture-installed certificate (MIC)—Cisco Manufacturing automatically installs this certificate in supported phone models. Manufacturer-installed certificates authenticate to Cisco Certificate Authority
Proxy Function (CAPF) for LSC installation. You cannot overwrite or delete the manufacture-installed certificate.
• Locally significant certificate (LSC)—This certificate type installs on supported phones after you perform the necessary tasks that are associated with the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). The
LSC secures the connection between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the phone after you configure the device security mode for authentication or encryption.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
19
Certificates
Tip
Cisco recommends that you use manufacturer-installed certificates (MICs) for LSC installation only. Cisco supports LSCs to authenticate the TLS connection with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Because
MIC root certificates can be compromised, customers who configure phones to use MICs for TLS authentication or for any other purpose do so at their own risk. Cisco assumes no liability if MICs are compromised.
Cisco recommends upgrading Cisco Unified IP Phones 6900 series, 7900 series, 8900 series, and 9900 series to use LSCs for TLS connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and removing MIC root certificates from the CallManager trust store to avoid possible future compatibility issues. Be aware that some phone models that use MICs for TLS connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager may not be able to register.
Administrators should remove the following MIC root certificates from the CallManager trust store:
CAP-RTP-001
CAP-RTP-002
Cisco_Manufacturing_CA
Cisco_Root_CA_2048
MIC root certificates that stay in the CAPF trust store get used for certificate upgrades. For information on updating the CallManager trust store and managing certificates, refer to the Administration Guide for Cisco
Unified Communications Manager that supports this release.
Related Topics
Set Up Authentication and Encryption, on page 30
Server Certificate Types
Cisco uses the following self-signed (own) certificate types in Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers:
• HTTPS certificate (Tomcat)—A self-signed root certificate gets generated during the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager installation for the HTTPS server. Cisco Unity Connection uses this certificate for SMTP and IMAP services.
• CallManager certificate—A self-signed root certificate automatically installs when you install Cisco
Unified Communications Manager on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
• CAPF certificate—The system copies this root certificate, which gets generated during Cisco Unified
Communications Manager installation, to your server or to all servers in the cluster after you complete the Cisco CTL client configuration.
• IPSec certificate (ipsec_cert)—A self-signed root certificate gets generated during Cisco Unified
Communications Manager installation for IPSec connections with MGCP and H.323 gateways.
• SRST-enabled gateway certificate—When you configure a secure SRST reference in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration, Cisco Unified Communications Manager retrieves the
SRST-enabled gateway certificate from the gateway and stores it in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database. After you reset the devices, the certificate gets added to the phone configuration file.
Because the certificate is stored in the database, you cannot manage this certificate with the certificate management tool.
20
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Certificates
• TVS certificate—These are self-signed certificates that support the Trust Verification Service (TVS).
• Phone-VPN-trust certificate—This category allows the system to import Cisco Unified IP Phone VPN certificates. These certificates get stored in the Midlet trust store.
• Phone Certificates trust store (Phone-trust)—Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses this certificate type to support HTTPs access on phones. You can upload certificates to the Phone-trust store by using the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System GUI. Certificates in the Phone-CTL-trust are downloaded to the phone though the CTL file mechanism to support secure web access (HTTPS) from
Cisco Unified IP Phones. Phone-trust certificates stay on the server and phones can request them through
TVS.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager imports the following certificate types to the CallManager trust store:
• Cisco Unity server or Cisco Unity Connection certificate—Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection use this self-signed root certificate to sign the Cisco Unity SCCP and Cisco Unity Connection SCCP device certificates. For Cisco Unity, the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager (UTIM) manages this certificate. For Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Unity Connection Administration manages this certificate.
• Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection SCCP device certificates—Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity
Connection SCCP devices use this signed certificate to establish a TLS connection with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
• The certificate name represents a hash of the certificate subject name, which is based on the voice-mail server name. Every device (or port) gets issued a certificate that is rooted at the root certificate.
• SIP Proxy server certificate—A SIP user agent that connects via a SIP trunk authenticates to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager if the CallManager trust store contains the SIP user agent certificate and if the SIP user agent contains the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate in its trust store.
The following additional trust store exists:
• Common trust store for Tomcat and web applications
• IPSec-trust
• CAPF-trust
• Userlicensing-trust
• TVS-trust
• Phone-SAST-trust
• Phone-CTL-trust
Support for Certificates from External CAs
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports integration with third-party certificate authorities (CAs) by using a PKCS#10 certificate signing request (CSR) mechanism, which is accessible at the Cisco Unified
Communications Operating System Certificate Manager GUI. Customers who currently use third-party CAs should use the CSR mechanism to issue certificates for Cisco CallManager, CAPF, IPSec, and Tomcat.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
21
Authentication, Integrity, and Authorization
Note
When using Multi-server (SAN) CA-signed certificates, the Multi-server certificate is only applied to nodes in the cluster at the time the certificate is uploaded to the Publisher. Therefore, anytime a node is rebuilt or a new node is added to the cluster, it is necessary to generate a new Multi-server certificate and upload it to the cluster.
If you run your system in mixed mode, some endpoints may not accept CA certificates with a key size of
4096 or longer. To use CA certificates in mixed mode, choose one of the following options:
• Use certificates with a certificate key size less than 4096
• Use self-signed certificates
Note
This release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not provide SCEP interface support.
Be sure to run the CTL client after you upload a third-party, CA-signed certificate to the platform to update the CTL file. After running the CTL client, restart the appropriate service(s) for the update; for example, restart Cisco CallManager and Cisco TFTP services when you update the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager certificate, restart CAPF when you update the CAPF certificate, and so on.
Note
After uploading the Cisco CallManager or CAPF certificates, you might observe the phones reset automatically to update their ITL File.
For information on generating Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) at the platform, refer to the Administration
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that supports this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

Authentication, Integrity, and Authorization
Integrity and authentication protect against the following threats:
• TFTP file manipulation (integrity)
• Modification of call-processing signaling between the phone and Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(authentication)
• Man-in-the-middle attacks (authentication), as defined in
Table 2: Terminology, on page 4
• Phone and server identity theft (authentication)
• Replay attack (digest authentication)
Authorization specifies what an authenticated user, service, or application can do. You can implement multiple authentication and authorization methods in a single session.

Image Authentication
This process prevents tampering with the binary image, the firmware load, prior to loading it on the phone.
Tampering with the image causes the phone to fail the authentication process and reject the image. Image authentication occurs through signed binary files that automatically install when you install Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. Likewise, firmware updates that you download from the web also provide signed binary images.
Device Authentication
This process validates the identity of the communicating device and ensures that the entity is who it claims to be.
Device authentication occurs between the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and supported
Cisco Unified IP Phones, SIP trunks, or JTAPI/TAPI/CTI applications (when supported). An authenticated connection occurs between these entities only when each entity accepts the certificate of the other entity.
Mutual authentication describes this process of mutual certificate exchange.
Device authentication relies on the creation of the Cisco CTL file (for authenticating Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server node and applications), and the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (for authenticating phones and JTAPI/TAPI/CTI applications).
Tip
A SIP user agent that connects via a SIP trunk authenticates to Cisco Unified Communications Manager if the CallManager trust store contains the SIP user agent certificate and if the SIP user agent contains the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate in its trust store. For information on updating the
CallManager trust store, refer to the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that supports this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

File Authentication
This process validates digitally signed files that the phone downloads; for example, the configuration, ring list, locale, and CTL files. The phone validates the signature to verify that file tampering did not occur after the file creation. For a list of devices that are supported, see “Phone Model Support”.
If you configure the cluster for mixed mode, the TFTP server signs static files, such as ring list, localized, default.cnf.xml, and ring list wav files, in .sgn format. The TFTP server signs files in <device name>.cnf.xml
format every time that the TFTP server verifies that a data change occurred for the file.
The TFTP server writes the signed files to disk if caching is disabled. If the TFTP server verifies that a saved file has changed, the TFTP server re-signs the file. The new file on the disk overwrites the saved file that gets

deleted. Before the phone can download the new file, the administrator must restart affected devices in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
After the phone receives the files from the TFTP server, the phone verifies the integrity of the files by validating the signature on the file. For the phone to establish an authenticated connection, ensure that the following criteria are met:
• A certificate must exist in the phone.
• The CTL file must exist on the phone, and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager entry and certificate must exist in the file.
• You configured the device for authentication or encryption.

Signaling Authentication
This process, also known as signaling integrity, uses the TLS protocol to validate that no tampering occurred to signaling packets during transmission.
Signaling authentication relies on the creation of the Certificate Trust List (CTL) file.

Digest Authentication
This process for SIP trunks and phones allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to challenge the identity of a device that is connecting to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. When challenged, the device presents its digest credentials, similar to a username and password, to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager for verification. If the credentials that are presented match those that are configured in the database for that device, digest authentication succeeds, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager processes the
SIP request.
Note
Be aware that the cluster security mode has no effect on digest authentication.
Note
If you enable digest authentication for a device, the device requires a unique digest user ID and password to register.
You configure SIP digest credentials in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database for a phone user or application user.
• For applications, you specify digest credentials in the Application User Configuration window.
• For phones that are running SIP, you specify the digest authentication credentials in the End User window.
To associate the credentials with the phone after you configure the user, you choose a Digest User, the end user, in the Phone Configuration window. After you reset the phone, the credentials exist in the phone configuration file that the TFTP server offers to the phone. See topics related to encrypted phone configuration file setup to ensure digest credentials do not get sent in the clear in TFTP downloads.
24
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Authentication, Integrity, and Authorization
• For challenges received on SIP trunks, you configure a SIP realm, which specifies the realm username
(device or application user) and digest credentials.
When you enable digest authentication for an external phone or trunk that is running SIP and configure digest credentials, Cisco Unified Communications Manager calculates a credentials checksum that includes a hash of the username, password, and the realm. The system uses a nonce value, which is a random number, to calculate the MD5 hash. Cisco Unified Communications Manager encrypts the values and stores the username and the checksum in the database.
To initiate a challenge, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a SIP 401 (Unauthorized) message, which includes the nonce and the realm in the header. You configure the nonce validity time in the SIP device security profile for the phone or trunk. The nonce validity time specifies the number of minutes that a nonce value stays valid. When the time interval expires, Cisco Unified Communications Manager rejects the external device and generates a new number.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager acts as a user agent server (UAS) for SIP calls that are originated by line-side phones or devices that are reached through the SIP trunk, as a user agent client (UAC) for
SIP calls that it originates to the SIP trunk, or a back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) for line-to-line or trunk-to-trunk connections. In most environments, Cisco Unified Communications Manager acts primarily as B2BUA connecting SCCP and SIP endpoints. (A SIP user agent represents a device or application that originates a SIP message.)
Tip
Digest authentication does not provide integrity or confidentiality. To ensure integrity and confidentiality for the device, configure the TLS protocol for the device, if the device supports TLS. If the device supports encryption, configure the device security mode as encrypted. If the device supports encrypted phone configuration files, configure encryption for the files.
Digest Authentication for Phones
When you enable digest authentication for a phone, Cisco Unified Communications Manager challenges all requests for phones that are running SIP except keepalive messages. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not respond to challenges from line-side phones.
After receiving a response, Cisco Unified Communications Manager validates the checksum for the username that is stored in the database against the credentials in the response header.
Phones that are running SIP exist in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager realm, which is defined in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration at installation. You configure the SIP Realm for challenges to phones with the service parameter SIP Station Realm. Each digest user can have one set of digest credentials per realm.
Tip
If you enable digest authentication for an end user but do not configure the digest credentials, the phone will fail registration. If the cluster mode is nonsecure and you enable digest authentication and configure digest credentials, the digest credentials get sent to the phone, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager still initiates challenges.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
25
Authentication, Integrity, and Authorization
Digest Authentication for Trunks
When you enable digest authentication for a trunk, Cisco Unified Communications Manager challenges SIP trunk requests from SIP devices and applications that connect through a SIP trunk. The system uses the Cluster
ID enterprise parameter in the challenge message. SIP user agents that connect through the SIP trunk respond with the unique digest credentials that you configured for the device or application in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration.
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager initiates a SIP trunk request, a SIP user agent that connects through the SIP trunk can challenge the identity of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For these incoming challenges, you configure a SIP Realm to provide the requested credentials for the user. When Cisco
Unified Communications Manager receives a SIP 401(Unauthorized) or SIP 407 (Proxy Authentication
Required) message, Cisco Unified Communications Manager looks up the encrypted password for the realm that connects though the trunk and for the username that the challenge message specifies. Cisco Unified
Communications Manager decrypts the password, calculates the digest, and presents it in the response message.
Tip
The realm represents the domain that connects through the SIP trunk, such as xyz.com, which helps to identify the source of the request.
To configure the SIP Realm, see topics related to digest authentication for SIP trunks. You must configure a
SIP Realm and username and password in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for each SIP trunk user agent that can challenge Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each user agent can have one set of digest credentials per realm.
Related Topics
Authorization
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the authorization process to restrict certain categories of messages from phones that are running SIP, from SIP trunks, and from SIP application requests on SIP trunks.
• For SIP INVITE messages and in-dialog messages, and for phones that are running SIP, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager provides authorization through calling search spaces and partitions.
• For SIP SUBSCRIBE requests from phones, Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides authorization for user access to presence groups.
• For SIP trunks, Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides authorization of presence subscriptions and certain non-INVITE SIP messages; for example, out-of-dial REFER, unsolicited notification, and any SIP request with the replaces header. You specify authorization in the SIP Trunk Security Profile
Configuration window when you check the allowed SIP requests in the window.
To enable authorization for SIP trunk applications, check the Enable Application Level Authorization and the
Digest Authentication check box in the SIP Trunk Security Profile window; then, check the allowed SIP request check boxes in the Application User Configuration window.
If you enable both SIP trunk authorization and application level authorization, authorization occurs for the
SIP trunk first and then for the SIP application user. For the trunk, Cisco Unified Communications Manager downloads the trunk Access Control List (ACL) information and caches it. The ACL information gets applied to the incoming SIP request. If the ACL does not allow the SIP request, the call fails with a 403 Forbidden message.
26
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Encryption
If the ACL allows the SIP request, Cisco Unified Communications Manager checks whether digest authentication is enabled in the SIP Trunk Security Profile. If digest authentication is not enabled and application-level authorization is not enabled, Cisco Unified Communications Manager processes the request.
If digest authentication is enabled, Cisco Unified Communications Manager verifies that the authentication header exists in the incoming request and then uses digest authentication to identify the source application.
If the header does not exist, Cisco Unified Communications Manager challenges the device with a 401 message.
Before an application-level ACL gets applied, Cisco Unified Communications Manager authenticates the SIP trunk user agent through digest authentication. Therefore, you must enable digest authentication in the SIP
Trunk Security Profile before application-level authorization can occur.
Encryption
Tip
Encryption capability installs automatically when you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager on a server.
This section describes the types of encryption that Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports:
Related Topics
Configuration File Encryption, on page 29
Signaling Encryption, on page 27
Signaling Encryption
Signaling encryption ensures that all SIP and SCCP signaling messages that are sent between the device and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are encrypted.
Signaling encryption ensures that the information that pertains to the parties, DTMF digits that are entered by the parties, call status, media encryption keys, and so on, are protected against unintended or unauthorized access.
Cisco does not support Network Address Translation (NAT) with Cisco Unified Communications Manager if you configure the cluster for mixed mode; NAT does not work with signaling encryption.
You can enable UDP ALG in the firewall to allow media stream firewall traversal. Enabling the UDP ALG allows the media source on the trusted side of the firewall to open a bidirectional media flow through the firewall by sending the media packet through the firewall.
Tip
Hardware DSP resources cannot initiate this type of connection and, therefore, must exist outside the firewall.
Signaling encryption does not support NAT traversal. Instead of using NAT, consider using LAN extension
VPNs.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
27
Encryption
Media Encryption
Media encryption, which uses Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP), ensures that only the intended recipient can interpret the media streams between supported devices. Media encryption includes creating a media master key pair for the devices, delivering the keys to the devices, and securing the delivery of the keys while the keys are in transport. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports SRTP primarily for IOS gateways and Cisco Unified Communications Manager H.323 trunks on gatekeeper-controlled and non-gatekeeper-controlled trunks as well as on SIP trunks.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager handles media encryption keys differently for different devices and protocols. All phones that are running SCCP get their media encryption keys from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, which secures the media encryption key downloads to phones with TLS encrypted signaling channels. Phones that are running SIP generate and store their own media encryption keys. Media encryption keys that are derived by Cisco Unified Communications Manager system securely get sent via encrypted signaling paths to gateways over IPSec-protected links for H.323 and MGCP or encrypted TLS links for SCCP and SIP.
If the devices support SRTP, the system uses a SRTP connection. If at least one device does not support SRTP, the system uses an RTP connection. SRTP-to-RTP fallback may occur for transfers from a secure device to a non-secure device, transcoding, music on hold, and so on.
For most security-supported devices, authentication and signaling encryption serve as the minimum requirements for media encryption; that is, if the devices do not support signaling encryption and authentication, media encryption cannot occur. Cisco IOS gateways and trunks support media encryption without authentication.
For Cisco IOS gateways and trunks, you must configure IPSec when you enable the SRTP capability (media encryption).
Warning
Before you configure SRTP or signaling encryption for gateways and trunks, Cisco strongly recommends that you configure IPSec because Cisco IOS MGCP gateways, H.323 gateways, and H.323/H.245/H.225
trunks rely on IPSec configuration to ensure that security-related information does not get sent in the clear.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not verify that you configured IPSec correctly. If you do not configure IPSec correctly, security-related information may get exposed.
SIP trunks rely on TLS to ensure that security-related information does not get sent in the clear.
The following example demonstrates media encryption for SCCP and MGCP calls.
1
Device A and Device B, which support media encryption and authentication, register with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
2
When Device A places a call to Device B, Cisco Unified Communications Manager requests two sets of media session master values from the key manager function.
3
Both devices receive the two sets: one set for the media stream, Device A—Device B, and the other set for the media stream, Device B—Device A.
4
Using the first set of master values, Device A derives the keys that encrypt and authenticate the media stream, Device A—Device B.
5
Using the second set of master values, Device A derives the keys that authenticate and decrypt the media stream, Device B—Device A.
28
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
NMAP Scan Operation
6
Device B uses these sets in the inverse operational sequence.
7
After the devices receive the keys, the devices perform the required key derivation, and SRTP packet processing occurs.
Note
Phones that are running SIP and H.323 trunks/gateways generate their own cryptographic parameters and send them to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
For media encryption with conference calls, refer to topics related to secure conference resources.

Configuration File Encryption
Cisco Unified Communications Manager pushes confidential data such as digest credentials and administrator passwords to phones in configuration file downloads from the TFTP server.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses reversible encryption to secure these credentials in the database.
To secure this data during the download process, Cisco recommends that you configure encrypted configuration files for all Cisco Unified IP Phones that support this option. When this option is enabled, only the device configuration file gets encrypted for download.
Note
In some circumstances, you may choose to download confidential data to phones in the clear; for example, to troubleshoot the phone.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager encodes and stores encryption keys in the database. The TFTP server encrypts and decrypts configuration files by using symmetric encryption keys:
• If the phone has PKI capabilities, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can use the phone public key to encrypt the phone configuration file.
• If the phone does not have PKI capabilities, you must configure a unique symmetric key in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and in the phone.
You enable encrypted configuration file settings in the Phone Security Profile window in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration, which you then apply to a phone in the Phone Configuration window.

NMAP Scan Operation
You can run a Network Mapper (NMAP) scan program on any Windows or Linux platform to perform vulnerability scans. NMAP represents a free and open source utility for network exploration or security auditing.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
29
Set Up Authentication and Encryption
Note
NMAP DP scan can take up to 18 hours to complete.
Syntax
nmap -n -vv -sU -p <port_range> <ccm_ip_address> where:
-n: No DNS resolution. Tells NMAP to never do reverse DNS resolution on the active IP addresses that it finds. Because DNS can be slow even with the NMAP built-in parallel stub resolver, this option can slash scanning times.
-v: Increases the verbosity level, which causes NMAP to print more information about the scan in progress.
The system shows open ports as they are found and provides completion time estimates when NMAP estimates that a scan will take more than a few minutes. Use this option twice or more for even greater verbosity.
-sU: Specifies a UDP port scan.
-p: Specifies which ports to scan and overrides the default. Be aware that individual port numbers are acceptable, as are ranges that are separated by a hyphen (for example 1-1023).
ccm_ip_address: IP address of Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Set Up Authentication and Encryption
Important
This procedure applies to the CTL Client encryption option. You may also set up encryption by using the
utils ctl CLI command set. For more information about this option, see the Command Line Interface Guide
for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
The following procedure provides all the tasks that you must perform to implement authentication and encryption. See the related topics for chapter references which contain tasks that you must perform for the specified security feature.
• To implement authentication and encryption for a new install, refer to the following table.
• To add a node to a secure cluster, see Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, which describes how to add a node and how to configure security for the new node.
Procedure
Step 1
Activate the Cisco CTL Provider service in Cisco Unified Serviceability
Be sure to activate the Cisco CTL Provider service on each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in the cluster.
Tip
If you activated this service prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, you do not need to activate the service again. The service automatically activates after the upgrade.
Step 2
Activate the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy service in Cisco Unified Serviceability to install, upgrade, troubleshoot, or delete locally significant certificates.
Activate the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy service on the first node only.

Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Set Up Authentication and Encryption
Timesaver
Performing this task before you install and configure the Cisco CTL client ensures that you do not have to update the CTL file to use CAPF.
Step 3
If you do not want to use the default port settings, configure ports for the TLS connection.
Tip
If you configured these settings prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the settings migrate automatically during the upgrade.
Step 4
If using the Cisco CTL client for encryption, obtain at least two security tokens and the passwords, hostnames/IP addresses, and port numbers for the servers that you will configure for the Cisco CTL client.
Note
You do not need hardware security tokens for the utils ctl CLI option.
Step 5
Install the Cisco CTL client.
Tip
To update the Cisco CTL file after an upgrade to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, you must install the plug-in that is available in this Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration release.
Step 6
Configure the Cisco CTL client.
Tip
If you created the Cisco CTL file prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the
Cisco CTL file migrates automatically during the upgrade. To update the Cisco CTL file after an upgrade to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, you must install and configure the latest version of the Cisco CTL client.
Step 7
Configure the phone security profiles.
Perform the following tasks when you configure the profiles: a) Configure the device security mode.
Tip
The device security mode migrates automatically during the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager upgrade. If you want to configure encryption for devices that only supported authentication in a prior release, you must choose a security profile for encryption in the Phone Configuration window.
b) Configure CAPF settings (for some phones that are running SCCP and SIP).
Additional CAPF settings display in the Phone Configuration window.
c) If you plan to use digest authentication for phones that are running SIP, check the Enable Digest
Authentication check box.
d) To enable encrypted configuration files (for some phones that are running SCCP and SIP), check the
Encrypted Confide check box.
e) To exclude digest credentials in configuration file downloads, check the Exclude Digest Credential in
Configuration File check box.
Step 8
Apply the phone security profiles to the phones.
Step 9
Configure CAPF to issue certificates to the phones.
Tip
If you performed certificate operations before the upgrade to this Cisco Unified Communications
Manager release and CAPF ran on a subscriber server, you must copy the CAPF data to the publisher
Caution
database server before you upgrade a cluster to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
The CAPF data on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager subscriber server does not migrate to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, and a loss of data occurs, if you do not copy the data to the database. If a loss of data occurs, the locally significant certificates that you issued with the CAPF utility remain in the phones, but the CAPF utility for this release must reissue the certificates, which are no longer valid.
The following steps are optional:
Step 10 Verify that the locally significant certificates are installed on supported Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Step 11 Configure digest authentication for phones that are running SIP.
Step 12 Perform phone-hardening tasks.
Tip
If you configured phone-hardening settings prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the device configuration settings migrate automatically during the upgrade.

Set Up Authentication and Encryption
Step 13 Configure conference bridge resources for security.
Step 14 Configure voice mail ports for security.
For more information, see the applicable Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection integration guide for this
Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
Step 15 Configure security settings for SRST references.
Tip
If you configured secure SRST references in a previous Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, the configuration automatically migrates during the Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade.
Step 16 Configure IPSec.
For more information, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .
Step 17 Configure the SIP trunk security profile.
If you plan to use digest authentication, check the Enable Digest Authentication check box in the profile.
For trunk-level authorization, check the authorization check boxes for the allowed SIP requests.
If you want application-level authorization to occur after trunk-level authorization, check the Enable Application
Level Authorization check box.
You cannot check application-level authorization unless digest authentication is checked.
Step 18 Apply the SIP trunk security profile to the trunk.
Step 19 Configure digest authentication for the trunk.
Step 20 If you checked the Enable Application Level Authorization check box in the SIP trunk security profile, configure the allowed SIP requests by checking the authorization check boxes in the Application User
Configuration window.
Step 21 Reset all phones.
Step 22 Reboot all servers.

HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), secures communication between a browser and a web server for Microsoft Windows users. HTTPS uses certificates to ensure server identities and to secure the browser connection. HTTPS uses a public key to encrypt the data, including the user login and password, during transport over the Internet.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports SSL and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for HTTPS connections. Cisco recommends using TLS for improved security if your web browser version supports TLS.
Disable SSL on your web browser to use TLS for secure HTTPS communications.
To enable HTTPS, you must download a certificate that identifies the server during the connection process.
You can accept the server certificate for the current session only, or you can download the certificate to a trust folder (file) to secure the current session and future sessions with that server. The trust folder stores the certificates for all your trusted sites.
Cisco supports these browsers for connection to the Cisco Tomcat web server application in Cisco Unified

Default Security Features
Security by Default provides the following automatic security features for Cisco Unified IP Phones:
• Signing of the phone configuration files.
• Support for phone configuration file encryption.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
47
Trust Verification Service
• https with Tomcat and other Web services (Midlets)
For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.0 later, these security features are provided by default without running the CTL Client.
Trust Verification Service
Trust Verification Service (TVS) is the main component of Security by Default. TVS enables Cisco Unified
IP Phones to authenticate application servers, such as EM services, directory, and MIDlet, during HTTPS establishment.
TVS provides the following features:
• Scalability—Cisco Unified IP Phone resources are not impacted by the number of certificates to trust.
• Flexibility—Addition or removal of trust certificates are automatically reflected in the system.
• Security by Default—Non-media and signaling security features are part of the default installation and do not require user intervention.
Note
When you enable secure signaling and media, you must create a CTL file and set the cluster to mixed mode. You can use the CTL client to make these changes, or you can use the CLI command utils ctl
set-cluster mixed-mode to create the CTL file and change the security mode in one step.
TVS Description
The following basic concepts describe the Trust Verification Service:
• TVS runs on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and authenticates certificates on behalf of the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
• Instead of downloading all the trusted certificates, Cisco Unified IP Phone only need to trust TVS.
• The TVS certificates and a few key certificates are bundled in a new file: the Initial Trust List file (ITL).
• The ITL file gets generated automatically without user intervention.
• The ITL file gets downloaded by Cisco Unified IP Phones and trust flows from there.
Initial Trust List
Cisco Unified IP Phones need an Initial Trust List (ITL) to perform the following tasks:
• Authenticate their configuration file signature.
• Talk securely to CAPF, a pre-requisite to support configuration files encryption.
• Trust TVS (which authenticates https certificates among other functions).
If the Cisco Unified IP Phone does not have an existing CTL file, it trusts the first ITL File automatically, like it does the CTL File. Subsequent ITL files must be either signed by the same private key associated with
48
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Initial Trust List
TFTP server's CallManager certificate or TVS must be able to return the certificate corresponding to the signer.
If the Cisco Unified IP Phone has an existing CTL file, it uses the CTL file to authenticate the ITL file signature.
ITL Files
The ITL file contains the initial trust list. The ITL file has the same format as the CTL file and is basically a smaller, leaner version of the CTL file. The following attributes apply to the ITL file:
• Unlike the CTL File, the system builds the ITL file automatically when you install the cluster, and the
ITL file gets updated automatically if the contents need to be changed.
• The ITL File does not require eTokens. It uses a soft eToken (the private key associated with TFTP server's CallManager certificate).
• The ITL File is downloaded by Cisco Unified IP Phones at boot up time or during reset, right after downloading the CTL File (if present).
ITL File Contents
The ITL File contains the following certificates:
• The CallManager certificate of the TFTP server. This certificate allows to authenticate the ITL File signature and the phone configuration file signature.
• All the TVS certificates in the cluster. These certificates allow phone to talk to TVS securely to request certificates authentication.
• The CAPF certificate. This allows to support configuration file encryption. The CAPF certificate is not really required in the ITL File (TVS can authenticate it) but it simplifies the connection to CAPF.
Like the CTL File, the ITL File contains a record for each certificate. Each record contains:
• A certificate.
• Pre-extracted certificate fields for easy look up by the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
• Certificate role (TFTP, CUCM, TFTP+CCM, CAPF, TVS, SAST)
The TFTP server's CallManager certificate is present in 2 ITL records with 2 different roles:
• TFTP or TFTP+CCM role: to authenticate configuration file signature.
• SAST role: to authenticate ITL file signature.
ITL and CTL File Interaction
The Cisco Unified IP Phone still relies on the CTL file to know the cluster security mode (nonsecure or mixed mode). The CTL File tracks the cluster security mode by including the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager record.
The ITL File also contains the cluster security mode indication.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
49
Update ITL File for IP Phones
Certificate Management Changes for ITLRecovery Certificate
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0, following changes have been made for the
ITLRecovery certificate:
• The validity of ITLRecovery has been extended from 5 years to 20 years to ensure that the ITLRecovery certificate remains same for a longer period.
Note
The validity of ITLRecovery certificates continues to be 5 years if you upgrade Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. While upgrading Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, the certificates get copied to the later release. However, when you regenerate an ITLRecovery certificate or when you do a fresh install of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, the validity of ITLRecovery gets extended to 20 years.
• Before you regenerate an ITLRecovery certificate, a warning message appears on both the CLI and the
GUI. This warning message displays that if you use a tokenless CTL and if you regenerate the
CallManager certificate, ensure that the CTL file has the updated CallManager certificate and that certificate is updated to endpoints.
Interactions and Restrictions
If a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster has more than 39 certificates, then the ITL file size on
Cisco Unified IP Phone exceeds 64 kilobytes. Increase in the ITL file size affects the ITL to load properly on the phone causing the phone registration to fail with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Update ITL File for IP Phones
A Centralized TFTP with Cisco Unified CM Release 8.0 and later using Security By Default with ITL files installed on the phones does not validate TFTP configuration files. The following procedure must be completed before any phones from the remote clusters are added to the Centralized TFTP deployment.
Procedure
Step 1
On the Central TFTP server, enable the Enterprise Parameter Prepare cluster for pre CM-8.0 rollback.
Step 2
Restart TVS and TFTP.
Step 3
Reset all phones to verify that they download the new ITL file that disables ITL signature verification.
Step 4
Configure Enterprise Parameter Secure https URLs to use HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions 8.6 and later automatically resets phones after you enable the Prepare cluster for pre CM-8.0 rollback Enterprise Parameter. For Central TFTP server's
Cisco Unified Communications Manager version and how to enable this parameter, see the "Roll
Back Cluster to a Pre-8.0 Release" section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide.

ECDSA Support for Common Criteria for Certified Solutions
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) certificates. These certificates are stronger than the RSA-based certificates and are required for products that have Common Criteria (CC) certifications. The US government Commercial Solutions for Classified Systems
(CSfC) program requires the CC certification and so, it is included in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The ECDSA certificates are available along with the existing RSA certificates in the following areas—Certificate Manager, SIP, Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF), Transport Layer Security
(TLS) Tracing, Entropy, HTTP, and computer telephony integration (CTI) Manager.
Note
ECDSA is supported only for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Tomcat.
Certificate Manager ECDSA Support
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0, the certificate manager supports both generation of self-signed ECDSA certificates and the ECDSA certificate signing request (CSR). Earlier releases of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager supported RSA certificate only. However, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Release 11.0 onwards, CallManager-ECDSA certificate has been added along with the existing
RSA certificate.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
51
ECDSA Support for Common Criteria for Certified Solutions
Both the CallManager and CallManager-ECDSA certificates share the common certificate trust store—CallManager-Trust. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uploads these certificates to this trust store.
The certificate manager supports generation of ECDSA certificates having different values of key length.
When you update or install Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the self-signed certificate is generated.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0 always has an ECDSA certificate and uses that certificate in its SIP interface. The secure Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Manager interface also supports ECDSA certificates. As both the CTI Manager and SIP server use the same server certificate, both the interfaces work in synchronization.
SIP ECDSA Support
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0 includes ECDSA support for SIP lines and SIP trunk interfaces. The connection between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and an endpoint phone or video device is a SIP line connection whereas the connection between two Cisco Unified Communications Managers is a SIP trunk connection. All SIP connections support the ECDSA ciphers and use ECDSA certificates.
Following are the scenarios when SIP makes (Transport Layer Security) TLS connections:
• When SIP acts as a TLS server—When the SIP trunk interface of Cisco Unified Communications
Manager acts as a TLS server for incoming secure SIP connection, the SIP trunk interface determines if the CallManager-ECDSA certificate exists on disk. If the certificate exists on the disk, the SIP trunk interface uses the CallManager-ECDSA certificate if the selected cipher suite is
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 or
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384. The SIP trunk interface continues to support RSA TLS cipher suites for connections from clients that do not support ECDSA cipher suites.
The TLS Ciphers drop-down list contains options that permit configuration of the supported cipher suites when Cisco Unified Communications Manager acts as a TLS server.
• When SIP acts as a TLS client—When the SIP trunk interface acts as a TLS client, the SIP trunk interface sends a list of requested cipher suites to the server based on the TLS Ciphers field (which also includes the ECDSA ciphers option) in the Enterprise Parameters window of Cisco Unified Communications
Manager. The TLS Ciphers. This configuration determines the TLS client cipher suite list and the supported cipher suites in order of preference.
Note
If you establish a TLS connection with an earlier release of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager that does not support ECDSA client certificate, the connection uses an RSA cipher suite. The client certificate sent in the TLS connection is not bound to the TLS Cipher you that you choose. Earlier releases of Cisco Unified Communications
Manager also support that TLS servers receive and handle ECDSA client certificates.
Devices that use an ECDSA cipher to make a connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager must have the CallManager-ECDSA certificate in their Identity Trust List (ITL) file. Then, the devices must incorporate the CallManager-ECDSA certificate into their local certificate store to trust the connection that is secured by the CallManager-ECDSA certificate.
52
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
ECDSA Support for Common Criteria for Certified Solutions
CAPF ECDSA Support
Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) is a Cisco proprietary method for exchanging certificates between
Cisco endpoints and Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Only Cisco endpoints use CAPF. To accomplish common criteria requirements, CAPF is updated to CAPF version 3 so that a client can be provided with
ECDSA Locally Significant Certificate (LSC). A customer creates LSC locally. An LSC is an alternative to manufacturer installed certificate (MIC) that the manufacturer creates.
Use CAPF version 3 to allow Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to direct phone, CTI applications, and Jabber clients to generate EC keys to be used in their LSCs. After the EC Keys are generated, Cisco
Unified Communications Manager either generates an ECDSA LSC and sends it to the Cisco endpoint or generates an ECDSA CSR.
In case the endpoint does not have CAPF version 3 support, you can configure the required EC key size and
RSA key size and choose EC Key Preferred, RSA Backup option in Phone Configuration window from
Cisco Unified CM Administration as a backup. This backup option is useful when CAPF server tries to send a request to EC key pair and the phone communicates to the server that it does not support EC key, the server sends the request to generate an RSA key pair instead of the EC key pair.
Note
Currently, no Cisco endpoint supports CAPF version 3. So, avoid selecting the EC Only option. However, the administrators who want to support ECDSA LSCs later can configure their devices with EC Preferred
RSA Backup option. When the endpoints begin to support CAPF version 3 for ECDSA LSCs, the administrators need to reinstall their LSC.
Entropy
To have strong encryption, a robust source of entropy is required. Entropy is a measure of randomness of data and helps in determining the minimum threshold for common criteria requirements. Data conversion techniques, such as cryptography and encryption, rely on a good source of entropy for their effectiveness. If a strong encryption algorithm, such as ECDSA, uses a weak source of entropy, the encryption can be easily broken.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0, the entropy source for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager is improved. Entropy Monitoring Daemon is a built-in feature that does not require configuration.
However, you can turn it off through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager CLI.
Use the following CLI commands to control the Entropy Monitoring Daemon service:
CLI Command utils service start Entropy Monitoring Daemon
Description
Starts the Entropy Monitoring Daemon service.
utils service stop Entropy Monitoring Daemon utils service active Entropy Monitoring Daemon
Stops the Entropy Monitoring Daemon service.
Activates the Entropy Monitoring Daemon service, which further loads the kernel module.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
53
Certificate Regeneration
CLI Command utils service deactive Entropy Monitoring Daemon
Description
Deactivates the Entropy Monitoring
Daemon service, which further unloads the kernel module.
HTTPS Support for Configuration Download
For secure configuration download, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0 is enhanced to support HTTPS in addition to the HTTP and TFTP interfaces that were used in the earlier releases. Both client and server use mutual authentication, if required. Clients that are enrolled with ECDSA LSCs and Encrypted
TFTP configurations are required to present their LSC.
The HTTPS interface uses both the CallManager and the CallManager-ECDSA certificates as the server certificates.
Note
When you update CallManager, CallManager ECDSA, or Tomcat certificates, you must deactivate and reactivate the TFTP service. Port 6971 is used for authentication of the CallManager and
CallManager-ECDSA certificates whereas port 6972 is used for the authentication of the Tomcat certificates.
CTI Manager Support
The computer telephony integration (CTI) interface is enhanced to support four new ciphers. The ciphers suites are TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384. By supporting these cipher suites, the CTI
Manager interface needs to have the CallManager-ECDSA certificate, if it exists in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. Similar to the SIP interface, the Enterprise Parameter TLS Ciphers option in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is used to configure the TLS ciphers that are supported on the CTI
Manager secure interface.
Certificate Regeneration
If you regenerate one of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificates, you must perform the steps in this section.
Caution
Regenerating a certificate can affect your system operations. Regenerating a certificate overwrites the existing certificate including a third party signed certificate if one was uploaded. For more information, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .
54
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)

System Back-Up Procedure After TFTP Certificate Regeneration
The trust anchor for the ITL File is a software entity: the TFTP private key. If the server crashes, the key gets lost, and phones will not be able to validate new ITL File.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.0, the TFTP certificate and private key both get backed up by the Disaster Recovery System. The system encrypts the backup package to keep the private key secret.
If the server crashes, the previous certificates and keys will be restored.
Whenever the TFTP certificate gets regenerated, you must create a new system backup. For backup procedures, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .

Migrate IP Phones Between Clusters with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and ITL Files
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0(1) and later introduced the new Security By Default feature and the use of Initial Trust List (ITL) files. With this new feature, you must be careful when moving phones between different Unified CM clusters and ensure that you follow the proper steps for migration.
Caution
Failure to follow the proper steps may lead to a situation where thousands of phones must manually have their ITL files deleted.
Cisco Unified IP Phones that support the new ITL file must download this special file from their Unified CM
TFTP server. Once an ITL file is installed on a phone, all future configuration files and ITL file updates must be signed by one of the following items:
• The TFTP server certificate that is currently installed on the phone or
• A TFTP certificate that can be validated TVS services on one of the clusters. You can find the certificates of TVS services within the cluster listed in the ITL file.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
59
Migrate IP Phones Between Clusters with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and ITL Files
With this new security functionality in mind, three problems can occur when moving a phone from one cluster to another cluster:
1
The ITL file of the new cluster is not signed by the current ITL file signer, so the phone cannot accept the new ITL file or configuration files.
2
The TVS servers listed in the existing ITL of the phone may not be reachable when the phones are moved to the new cluster.
3
Even if the TVS servers are reachable for certificate verification, the old cluster servers may not have the new server certificates.
If one or more of these three problems are encountered, one possible solution is to delete the ITL file manually from all phones being moved between clusters. However, this is not a desirable solution since it requires massive effort as the number of phones increases.
The most preferred option is to make use of the Cisco Unified CM Enterprise Parameter Prepare Cluster for
Rollback to pre-8.0. Once this parameter is set to True, the phones download a special ITL file that contains empty TVS and TFTP certificate sections.
When a phone has an empty ITL file, the phone accepts any unsigned configuration file (for migrations to
Unified CM pre-8.x clusters), and also accepts any new ITL file (for migrations to different Unified CM 8.x
clusters).
The empty ITL file can be verified on the phone by checking Settings > Security > Trust List > ITL. Empty entries appear where the old TVS and TFTP servers used to be.
The phones must have access to the old Unified CM servers only as long as it takes them to download the new empty ITL files.
If you plan to keep the old cluster online, disable the Prepare Cluster for Rollback to pre-8.0 Enterprise
Parameter to restore Security By Default.
Related Topics
Roll Back Cluster to a Pre-8.0 Release, on page 57
Bulk Certificate Export
If both the old and new clusters are online at the same time, you can use the Bulk Certificate migration method.
Remember that the Cisco Unified IP Phones verify every downloaded file against either the ITL file, or against a TVS server that exists in the ITL file. If the phone needs to move to a new cluster, the ITL file that the new cluster presents must be trusted by the old cluster TVS certificate store.
Note
The Bulk Certificate Export method only works if both clusters are online with network connectivity while the phones are being migrated.
Note
During bulk certificate import, you need to import an additional ITLRecovery certificate on both the visiting cluster and the home cluster for Cisco Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC) to continue functioning. A new option to import ITL_Recovery certificate is added in Bulk Certificate Management for the Certificate Type drop-down list.
60
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Migrate IP Phones Between Clusters with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and ITL Files
To use the Bulk Certificate Export method complete the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
From Cisco Unified Operating System Administration, choose Security > Bulk Certificate Management.
Step 2
Export certificates from new destination cluster (TFTP only) to a central SFTP server.
Step 3
Consolidate certificates (TFTP only) on the SFTP server using the Bulk Certificate interface.
Step 4
On the origination cluster use the Bulk Certificate function to import the TFTP certificates from the central
SFTP server.
Step 5
Use DHCP option 150, or some other method, to point the phones to the new destination cluster.
The phones download the new destination cluster ITL file and attempt to verify it against their existing ITL file. The certificate is not in the existing ITL file so the phone requests the old TVS server to verify the signature of the new ITL file. The phone sends a TVS query to the old origination cluster on TCP port 2445 to make this request.
If the certificate export/consolidate/import process works correctly then the TVS returns success, and the phone replaces the ITL file in memory with the newly downloaded ITL file.
The phones can now download and verify the signed configuration files from the new cluster.

Perform Bulk Reset of ITL File
When devices on a Unified Communications Manager cluster are locked and lose their trusted status, perform a bulk reset of the Identity Trust List (ITL) file with the CLI command utils itl reset. This command generates a new ITL recovery file.
Tip
Whenever you perform a fresh installation of Unified Communications Manager, export the ITL key as soon as possible and perform a backup through the Disaster Recovery System.
The CLI command to export the ITL recovery pair is as follows:
file get tftp ITLRecovery.p12
You will be prompted to enter the SFTP server (where the key will be exported) and password.
Before You Begin
Make sure you perform this procedure on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher.
If needed, export the key from the publisher.
Procedure
Step 1
Perform one of the following steps:
• Run utils itl reset localkey.
• Run utils itl reset remotekey.
For utils itl reset localkey, the local key resides on the publisher. This step generates a new ITL file by taking the existing file on the system and replacing the signature of that file with the recovery key signature. The key is then copied to the TFTP servers in the cluster.

About Cisco CTL Client Setup
Device, file, and signaling authentication rely on the creation of the Certificate Trust List (CTL) file, which is created when you install and configure the Cisco Certificate Trust List (CTL) Client on a single Windows workstation or server that has a USB port.
Note
Supported Windows versions for Cisco CTL Client include Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1
and Windows 10. Do not use Terminal Services to install the Cisco CTL Client. Cisco installs Terminal
Services, so Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) can perform remote troubleshooting and configuration tasks.
Note
• To enable mixed-mode or to update the CTL File, ensure that the Smart Licensing registration is completed in Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using the Registration Token received from the Smart account or Virtual account that has Allow export-controlled functionality enabled.
For details on how to configure Cisco Smart Software Licensing, see the “Smart Software Licensing” chapter of the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager at http:// www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/ unified-communications-manager-callmanager/ products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
.
• An alarm named ClusterModeSecurityFailedExportControlNotAllow is sent, when you are running
CTL Client but Cisco Unified Communications Manager is not enabled for export-controlled functionality.
The CTL file contains entries for the following servers or security tokens:
• System Administrator Security Token (SAST)
• Cisco CallManager and Cisco TFTP services that are running on the same server
• Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF)
• TFTP server(s)
• ASA firewall
The CTL file contains a server certificate, public key, serial number, signature, issuer name, subject name, server function, DNS name, and IP address for each server.
After you create the CTL file, you must restart the Cisco CallManager and Cisco TFTP services in Cisco
Unified Serviceability on all nodes that run these services. The next time that the phone initializes, it downloads the CTL file from the TFTP server. If the CTL file contains a TFTP server entry that has a self-signed certificate, the phone requests a signed configuration file in .sgn format. If no TFTP server contains a certificate, the phone requests an unsigned file.

Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Addition of Second SAST Role in the CTL File for Recovery
After the Cisco CTL Client adds a server certificate to the CTL file, you can display the certificate in the CTL
Client GUI.
When you configure a firewall in the CTL file, you can secure a Cisco ASA Firewall as part of a secure Cisco
Unified Communications Manager system. The Cisco CTL Client displays the firewall certificate as a “CCM” certificate.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration uses an etoken to authenticate the TLS connection between the Cisco CTL Client and Cisco CTL Provider.
Addition of Second SAST Role in the CTL File for Recovery
Earlier releases of Cisco Unified Communications Manager that used tokenless approach where endpoints trusted only one Cisco site administrator security token (SAST). This SAST is the CallManager certificate.
In this approach, the certificate trust list (CTL) file contained only one SAST record that was used to sign the
CTL file. As only one SAST was used, any update in the SAST signer caused the endpoints to get locked out.
Following points list the scenarios when endpoints locked out due to update in SAST signer:
• The endpoints accepted the CTL file that is signed by using the CallManager certificate during registration.
• An administrator regenerated the CallManager certificate and updated the CTL file. This regeneration implied that the updated CTL file was signed by updated CallManager certificate instead of the existing
CallManager certificate.
• The endpoints did not trust the updated CallManager certificate because the updated certificate was unavailable in the endpoints trust list. So, the endpoints rejected the CTL file instead of downloading it.
• The endpoints tried to connect with the ccm service securely over Transport Layer Security (TLS), ccmservice offered its updated CallManager certificate to the endpoints as part of TLS exchange. Because the updated certificate was unavailable in the endpoints trust list, endpoints rejected the CTL file instead of downloading it.
• The phones no longer talk to ccmservice and get locked out as a result.
For easier recovery from the end point lock out, the tokenless approach for endpoints is enhanced by addition of second SAST in the CTL File for recovery. In this feature, the tokenless CTL file contains two SAST tokens—the CallManager record and the ITLRecovery record.
The ITLRecovery certificate is chosen over other certificates because of the following reasons:
• Does not change because of secondary reasons, such as change in hostname.
• Already being used in the ITL file.
Cluster Encryption Configuration Through CLI
Through the CLI, you can manage the cluster security mode without using the Cisco CTL Client.
Consider the following points:
• With this option, the CTL file is generated using a CLI instead of through the Cisco CTL Client.
• No hardware tokens are required.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
71
Cluster Encryption Configuration Through CLI
• The CTL file is signed using the CallManager certificate private key.
This encryption option consists of the following CLI commands:
utils ctl set-cluster mixed-mode
Updates the CTL file and sets the cluster to mixed mode.
utils ctl set-cluster non-secure-mode
Updates the CTL file and sets the cluster to non-secure mode.
utils ctl update CTLFile
Updates the CTL file on each node in the cluster.
Note
• You must run the CLI commands on the publisher node.
• Be aware that regenerating the CallManager certificate changes the signer of the file. Phones that do not support Security by Default will not accept the new CTL file unless CTL files are manually deleted from the phone.

Cisco CTL Client Setup Tips
Consider the following information when you configure the Cisco CTL Client in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager:
• The Cisco CTL Client limits the file size of a CTL file to 64 kilobytes because the phones cannot accept a larger CTL file. The following factors affect the size of a CTL file:
â—¦The number of nodes in the cluster
More nodes require more certificates in the CTL file.
â—¦The number of firewalls that are used for TLS Proxy
Firewalls with TLS Proxy feature, which are the same as nodes, therefore get included in the CTL file.
â—¦Whether an external certificate authority (CA) signs the CAPF and CallManager certificates
Because certificates (CAPF/CallManager) that are signed by an external CA are significantly larger than default self-signed certificates, this can limit the maximum number of certificates that can fit into the CTL file.
These factors directly limit the maximum number of certificates that you can fit in a 64-kilobyte
CTL file, so they dictate the maximum number of nodes or firewalls that you can have in a secure
Cisco Unified Communications Manager deployment.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
73
Set Up Cisco CTL Client
• Ensure that the Cisco Unified Communications Manager node hostname or hostnames are resolvable on the remote PC where the Cisco CTL Client is installed, or the Cisco CTL Client will not function correctly.
• You must activate the Cisco CTL Provider service. If you have a cluster environment, you must activate the Cisco CTL Provider service on all servers in the cluster.
• After you create or update the CTL file, you must restart the Cisco CallManager and Cisco TFTP services in Cisco Unified Serviceability on all Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers that run these services and on all TFTP servers in the cluster.
• When the Cisco CTL Client contains entries for off-cluster servers, such as alternate or centralized TFTP server, you must also run the Cisco CTL Provider service on these servers.
• The alternate TFTP server section of the Cisco CTL Client GUI designates a Cisco TFTP server that exists in a different cluster. Use the Alternate TFTP Server Tab settings to configure alternate and centralized TFTP servers in the Cisco CTL Client.
Note
.
For more information see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager
• For centralized TFTP configurations, all off-cluster TFTP servers that are operating in mixed mode must add the Master TFTP server or Master TFTP server IP address to the off-cluster CTL file. The master
TFTP server serves configuration files from all alternate TFTP servers in the alternate file list that is configured for the master TFTP server. Clusters in a centralized TFTP configuration do not need to use the same security mode; each cluster can select its own mode.
Set Up Cisco CTL Client
Follow this procedure if you are using the CTL Client option.
Note
This procedure requires that you obtain at least two security tokens, as well as the passwords, hostnames/IP addresses, and port numbers for the servers that you will configure for the Cisco CTL Client.
The following table provides a list of configuration tasks that you perform to install and configure the Cisco
CTL Client for the first time. See topics related to upgrading the Cisco CTL Client and migrating the Cisco
CTL file for more information about configuring the CTL file when you upgrade Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
74
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Activate Cisco CTL Provider Service
Procedure

Migrate Phones from One Cluster to Another Cluster
Use the following procedure to migrate phones from one cluster to another. For example, from cluster 1 to cluster 2.
Note
For token-based CTL client approach, the migration is seamless. For phone migration, administrators must ensure that both the clusters use the same etokens for generating CTL files.
Procedure
Step 1
On cluster 2, from Cisco Unified OS Administration, choose Security > Certificate Management.
Step 2
Click Find.
Step 3
From the list of Certificates, click the ITLRecovery certificate and click either Download .PEM File or
Download .DER File to download the certificate in one of the file formats to your computer.

The uploaded ITLRecovery file appears for the Phone-SAST-Trust certificate on Certificate List window of cluster 1. If the new ITL file has a ITLRecovery certificate for cluster 2, run the command show itl
.
Step 9
If the phones in cluster in cluster have Locally Significant Certificates (LSC), then the CAPF certificate from cluster 1 has to be uploaded in the CAPF-trust store of cluster 2.
Step 10 (Optional) This step is applicable only if the cluster is in mixed mode. Run the utils ctl update CTLFile command on the CLI to regenerate the CTL file on cluster 1.
Note
• Run the show ctl CLI command to ensure that the ITLRecovery certificate and CallManager certificate of cluster 2 are included in the CTL file with the role as SAST.
• Ensure that the phones have received the new CTL and ITL files. The updated CTL file has the
ITLRecovery certificate of cluster 2.
The phones that you want to migrate from cluster 1 to cluster 2 will now accept the ITLRecovery certificate of cluster 2.
Step 11 Migrate the phone from one cluster to another.
Migration from eToken-based CTL File to Tokenless CTL File
For the tokenless CTL file, administrators must ensure that the endpoints download the uploaded CTL file generated using USB tokens on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.0 or 11.5 system. After the download, they can switch to tokenless CTL file. Then, they can run the utils ctl upgrade CLI command.
Update CTL File
Note
This procedure is not required if you manage cluster security through the CLI command set utils ctl.
You must update the CTL file if the following scenarios occur:
• If you add a new Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to the cluster

Update Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Mode
Related Topics
Update Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Mode
You must use the Cisco CTL Client to configure the cluster security mode. You cannot change the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager security mode from the Enterprise Parameters Configuration window in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note
Cluster security mode configures the security capability for a standalone server or a cluster.
To change the cluster security mode after the initial configuration of the Cisco CTL Client, you must update the CTL file.
If you change the cluster security mode from mixed to nonsecure mode, the CTL file still exists on the server(s), but the CTL file does not contain any certificates. Because no certificates exist in the CTL file, the phone requests an unsigned configuration file and registers as nonsecure with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
Procedure
Navigate to the Cluster Security Mode window, change the mode setting, and click Next, then Finish.
See
Table 11: CTL Client Configuration Settings, on page 89
for more information.

TLS Overview
Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides secure and reliable signaling and data transfer between two systems or devices, by using secure ports and certificate exchange. TLS secures and controls connections among Cisco
Unified Communications Manager-controlled systems, devices, and processes to prevent access to the voice domain.
TLS Prerequisites
Before you configure the minimum TLS version, make sure that your network devices and applications both support the TLS version. Also, make sure that they are enabled for TLS that you want to configure with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Services. If you have any of the following products deployed, confirm that they meet the minimum TLS requirement. If they do not meet this requirement, upgrade those products:
• Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) Conference Bridge
• Transcoder
• Hardware Media Termination Point (MTP)
• SIP Gateway
• Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance
• Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning
• Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment
• Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE)

Feature
Common Criteria mode
Interaction
You can enable Common Criteria mode along with configuration of minimum TLS version. If you do so, the applications continue to comply with Common
Criteria requirements and disable TLS 1.0 secure connections at application level. When the common criteria mode is enabled, you can configure the minimum TLS version as either 1.1 or 1.2 for the applications. For details on Common Criteria mode, see the Compliance to Common Criteria topic of the
Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco
Unified Communications Solutions.
TLS Restrictions
The following table highlights issues that you may run into when implementing Transport Layer Security
(TLS) version 1.2 on legacy phones, such as 79xx, 69xx, 89xx, 99xx, 39xx, and IP Communicator. To verify whether your phone supports secure mode in this release, refer to the Phone Feature List Report in Cisco
Unified Reporting. The feature restrictions on legacy phones and the workaround to implement the feature is listed in the following table:
Note
The workarounds are designed to get the impacted feature functioning in your system. However, they do not guarantee TLS 1.2 compliance for that feature.

TLS Interactions and Restrictions
Feature
IP Phone services using secure URLs based on
HTTPS.
Restriction
IP Phone services using secure URLs based on
HTTPS do not work.
Workaround to use IP Phone services: Use HTTP for all underlying service options. For example, corporate directory and personal directory. However, HTTP is not recommended as HTTP is not as secure if you need to enter sensitive data for features, such as
Extension Mobility. The drawbacks of using HTTP include:
• Provisioning challenges when configuring
HTTP for legacy phones and HTTPS for supported phones.
• No resiliency for IP Phone services.
• Performance of the server handling IP phone services can be affected.
Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC) on legacy phones
EMCC is not supported with TLS 1.2 on legacy phones.
Workaround: Complete the following tasks to enable
EMCC:
1
Enable EMCC over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
2
Turn on mixed-mode on all Cisco Unified
Communications Manager clusters.
3
Use the same USB eTokens for all Cisco Unified
Communications Manager clusters.
Locally Significant Certificates (LSC) on legacy phones
Encrypted Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) configuration files
LSC is not supported with TLS 1.2 on legacy phones.
As a result, 802.1x and phone VPN authentication based on LSC are not available.
Workaround for 802.1x: Authentication based on
MIC or password with EAP-MD5 on older phones.
However, those are not recommended.
Workaround for VPN: Use phone VPN authentication based on end-user username and password.
Encrypted Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) configuration files are not supported with TLS 1.2 on legacy phones even with Manufacturer Installed
Certificate (MIC).
There is no workaround.

TLS Interactions and Restrictions
Feature Restriction
CallManager certificate renewal causes legacy phones to lose trust
Legacy phones lose trust when CallManager certificate is renewed. For example, a phone cannot get new configurations after renewing the certificate.
This is applicable only in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager 11.5.1
Workaround: To prevent legacy phones from losing trust, complete the following steps:
1
Before you enable the CallManager certificate, set the Cluster For Roll Back to Pre 8.0 enterprise parameter to True. By default, this setting disables the security.
2
Temporarily allow TLS 1.0 (multiple Cisco
Unified Communications Manager reboots).
Connections to non-supported versions of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager
TLS 1.2 connections to older versions of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager that do not support the higher TLS version do not work. For example, a
TLS 1.2 SIP trunk connection to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Release 9.x does not work because that release does not support TLS 1.2.
You can use one of the following workarounds:
• Workaround to enable connections: Use nonsecure trunks, although this is not a recommended option.
• Workaround to enable connections while using
TLS 1.2: Upgrade the non-supported version to a release that does support TLS 1.2.
Certificate Trust List (CTL) Client
Address Book Synchronizer
CTL client does not support TLS 1.2.
You can use one of the following workarounds:

Phone Security
At installation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager boots up in nonsecure mode. When the phones boot up after the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation, all devices register as nonsecure with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
After you upgrade from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 4.0(1) or a later release, the phones boot up in the device security mode that you enabled prior to the upgrade; all devices register by using the chosen security mode.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation creates a self-signed certificate on the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and TFTP server. You may also choose to use a third-party, CA-signed certificate for Cisco Unified Communications Manager instead of the self-signed certificate. After you configure authentication, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the certificate to authenticate with supported
Cisco Unified IP Phones. After a certificate exists on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP server, Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not reissue the certificates during each Cisco Unified
Communications Manager upgrade. You must create a new CTL file with the new certificate entries.
Tip
For information on unsupported or nonsecure scenarios, see topics related to interactions and restrictions.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager maintains the authentication and encryption status at the device level. If all devices that are involved in the call register as secure, the call status registers as secure. If one

device registers as nonsecure, the call registers as nonsecure, even if the phone of the caller or recipient registers as secure.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager retains the authentication and encryption status of the device when a user uses Cisco Extension Mobility. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also retains the authentication and encryption status of the device when shared lines are configured.
Tip
When you configure a shared line for an encrypted Cisco Unified IP Phone, configure all devices that share the lines for encryption; that is, ensure that you set the device security mode for all devices to encrypted by applying a security profile that supports encryption.

Interactions and Restrictions, on page 10
Trusted Devices
Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows Security icons to be enabled by phone model on Cisco Unified
IP Phones. The Security icon indicates whether the call is secure and the connected device is trusted.
A Trusted Device represents a Cisco device or a third-party device that has passed Cisco security criteria for trusted connections. This includes, but is not limited to, signaling/media encryption, platform hardening, and assurance. If a device is trusted, a Security icon displays and a secure tone plays on supported devices. Also, the device may provide other features or indicators that are related to secure calls.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager determines whether a device is trusted when you add it to your system. The security icon displays for information purposes only, and the administrator cannot configure it directly.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager also indicates whether a gateway is trusted by displaying an icon and a message in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
This section describes the behavior of the security icon for trusted devices on both the Cisco Unified IP Phones and in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
The following windows in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration indicate whether a device is trusted:
Gateway Configuration
For each gateway type, the Gateway Configuration window (Device > Gateway) displays either Device is
trusted or Device is not trusted, along with a corresponding icon.
The system determines whether the device is trusted, based on the device type. You cannot configure whether the device is trusted.
Phone Configuration
For each phone device type, the Phone Configuration window (Device > Phone) displays either Device is
trusted or Device is not trusted, along with a corresponding icon.
116
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Phone Model Support
The system determines whether the device is trusted, based on the device type. You cannot configure whether the device is trusted.
Device Called Trust Determination Criteria
The type of device that a user calls affects the security icon that displays on the phone. The system consider the following three criteria to determine whether the call is secure:
• Are all devices on the call trusted?
• Is the signaling secure (authenticated and encrypted)?
• Is the media secure?
Before a supported Cisco Unified IP Phone displays the Lock Security icon, be aware that all three of these criteria must be met. For calls that involve a device that is not trusted, regardless of signaling and media security, the overall status of the call will stay unsecure, and the phone will not display the Lock icon. For example, if you include an untrusted device in a conference, the system considers its call leg, as well as the conference itself, to be unsecure.
Phone Model Support
There are two categories of phone models which support security in Cisco Unified Communications Manager:
Secure Cisco phones and Secure Preferred Vendor phones. Secure Cisco phones are pre-installed with a
Manufacture-Installed Certificate (MIC) and support automatic generation and exchange of Locally-Significant
Certificates (LSC) using the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). Secure Cisco phones are capable of registering with Cisco Unified CM using the MIC without additional certificate management. For additional security, you can create and install an LSC on the phone using CAPF. See topics related to phone security setup and settings for more information.
Secure Preferred Vendor phones do not come pre-installed with a MIC, and do not support CAPF for generating
LSCs. In order for Secure Preferred Vendor phones to connect to Cisco Unified CM, a certificate must be provided with the device, or generated by the device. The phone supplier must provide the details on how to acquire or generate a certificate for the phone. Once you obtain the certificate, you must upload the certificate to the Cisco Unified CM using the OS Administration Certificate Management interface. See topics related to preferred vendor SIP phone security set up for more information.
For a list of security features that are supported on your phone, refer to the phone administration and user documentation that supports this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release or the firmware documentation that supports your firmware load.
You can also use Cisco Unified Reporting to list the phones that support a particular feature. For more information about using Cisco Unified Reporting, see the Cisco Unified Reporting Administration Guide.

Preferred Vendor SIP Phone Security Set Up
Preferred Vendor SIP Phone Security Set Up
Secure Preferred Vendor phones are phone types that are manufactured by 3rd-party vendors but are installed in the Cisco Unified database via a COP file. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides security for a preferred vendor SIP phone. In order to support security, you must enable Security Encryption or Security
Authentication for the preferred vendor SIP phone in the COP file. These phone types appear in the drop-down list in the Add a New Phone window. While all preferred vendor phones support Digest Authorization, not all preferred vendor phones support TLS security. Security capabilities is based on the phone model. If the
Phone Security Profile includes a “Device Security Mode” field, then it supports TLS security.
If the preferred vendor phone supports TLS security, there are two modes that are possible: per-device certificate and shared certificate. The phone supplier must specify which mode is applicable for the phone as well as instructions on generating or acquiring a certificate for the phone.
Set Up Preferred Vendor SIP Phone Security Profile Per-Device Certificates
To configure the preferred vendor SIP phone security profile with per-device certificates, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Upload the certificate for each phone using the OS Administration Certificate Management interface.
Step 2
In the Cisco Unified Administration, choose System > Security > Phone Security Profile.
Step 3
Configure a new Phone Security Profile for the device type of this phone and in the Device Security Mode drop-down list box, choose Encrypted or Authenticated.
Step 4
To configure the new SIP phone in the CCMAdmin interface, choose Device > Phone > Add New.
Step 5
Select Phone type.
Step 6
Fill in the required fields.
Step 7
In the Device Security Profile drop-down list box, select the profile you just created.
Set Up Preferred Vendor SIP Phone Security Profile Shared Certificates
To configure the preferred vendor SIP phone security profile with shared certificates, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Using instructions from the phone vendor, generate a certificate with a Subject Alternate Name (SAN) string.
The SAN must be of type DNS. Make a note of the SAN specified in this step. For example, X509v3 extensions:
Step 2
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
Step 3
DNS:AscomGroup01.acme.com
Note
The SAN must be of type DNS or security will not be enabled.

Step 4
Upload the shared certificate using the OS Administration Certificate Management interface.
Step 5
In the Cisco Unified Administration, choose System > Security > Phone Security Profile.
Step 6
In the Name field, enter the name of the Subject Alt Name (SAN), which is the name on the certificate provided by the preferred vendor, or if there is no SAN enter the Certificate Name.
Note
The name of the security profile must match the SAN in the certificate exactly or security will not be enabled.
Step 7
In the Device Security Mode drop-down list box, choose Encrypted or Authenticated.

About Phone Security Profile Setup
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration groups security-related settings for a phone type and protocol into security profiles to allow you to assign a single security profile to multiple phones.
Security-related settings include device security mode, digest authentication, and some CAPF settings. You apply the configured settings to a phone when you choose the security profile in the Phone Configuration window.
Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides a set of predefined, nonsecure security profiles for auto-registration. To enable security features for a phone, you must configure a new security profile for the device type and protocol and apply it to the phone.
Only the security features that the selected device and protocol support display in the security profile settings window.

Phone Security Profile Setup Tips
Phone Security Profile Setup Tips
Consider the following information when you configure phone security profiles in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration:
• When you configure phones, you must select a security profile in the Phone Configuration window. If the device does not support security, apply the nonsecure profile.
• You cannot delete or change predefined, nonsecure profiles.
• You cannot delete a security profile that is currently assigned to a device.
• If you change the settings in a security profile that is already assigned to a phone, the reconfigured settings apply to all phones that are assigned that profile.
• You can rename security files that are assigned to devices. The phones that are assigned the old profile name and settings assume the new profile name and settings.
• The CAPF settings in the Phone Security Profile, authentication mode and key size, also display in the
Phone Configuration window. You must configure CAPF settings for certificate operations that involve manufacture-installed certificates (MICs) or locally significant certificates (LSCs). You can update these fields directly in the Phone Configuration window.
â—¦If you update the CAPF settings in the security profile, the settings get updated in the Phone
Configuration window.
â—¦If you update the CAPF settings in the Phone Configuration window and a matching profile is found, Cisco Unified Communications Manager applies the matching profile to the phone.
â—¦If you update the CAPF settings in the Phone Configuration window, and no matching profile is found, Cisco Unified Communications Manager creates a new profile and applies the new profile to the phone.
• If you configured the device security mode prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0 or later upgrade, Cisco Unified Communications Manager creates a profile that is based on the model and protocol and applies the profile to the device.
• Cisco recommends using manufacturer-installed certificates (MICs) for LSC installation only. Cisco supports LSCs to authenticate the TLS connection with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Because
MIC root certificates can be compromised, customers who configure phones to use MICs for TLS authentication or for any other purpose do so at their own risk. Cisco assumes no liability if MICs are compromised.
• Cisco recommends upgrading the Cisco Unified IP Phones to use LSCs for TLS connection to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and removing MIC root certificates from the CallManager trust store to avoid possible future compatibility issues.

Authentication Mode
Description
This field allows you to choose the authentication method that the phone uses during the CAPF certificate operation.
From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:
• By Authentication String—Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate only when the user enters the CAPF authentication string on the phone.
• By Null String— Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate without user intervention.
This option provides no security; Cisco strongly recommends that you choose this option only for closed, secure environments.
• By Existing Certificate (Precedence to LSC)— Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a manufacture-installed certificate (MIC) or locally significant certificate
(LSC) exists in the phone. If a LSC exists in the phone, authentication occurs via the LSC, regardless whether a MIC exists in the phone. If a
MIC and LSC exist in the phone, authentication occurs via the LSC. If a LSC does not exist in the phone, but a MIC does exist, authentication occurs via the MIC.
Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the phone, the operation fails.
At any time, the phone uses only one certificate to authenticate to CAPF even though a MIC and LSC can exist in the phone at the same time.
If the primary certificate, which takes precedence, becomes compromised for any reason, or, if you want to authenticate via the other certificate, you must update the authentication mode.
• By Existing Certificate (Precedence to MIC)—Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a LSC or
MIC exists in the phone. If a MIC exists in the phone, authentication occurs via the MIC, regardless whether a LSC exists in the phone. If a
LSC exists in the phone, but a MIC does not exist, authentication occurs via the LSC.
Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the phone, the operation fails.

Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone Setup
This chapter provides information about secure and nonsecure indication tone setup. The system plays secure and nonsecure indication tones on a protected phone to indicate whether a call is encrypted.
•
Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tones, page 135
•
•
Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tones Important Information, page 136
•
Secure Tone Setup Requirements, page 137
Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tones
The secure indication tone plays on a protected phone when the overall status of the call specifies protected; that is, when the system determines that the call is encrypted. The tone denotes that the call is protected and that confidential information may be exchanged. The tone comprises three long beeps. If the overall status of the call specifies protected, the tone begins to play on a protected phone as soon as the called party answers.
When the overall status of the call is not protected, the system plays nonsecure indication tone, which comprises six short beeps, on a protected phone.
Note
Only callers on protected phones can hear secure and nonsecure indication tones. Callers on phones that are not protected never hear these tones.
Protected Devices
Configuration designates a protected device in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You can configure only supported Cisco Unified IP Phones and MGCP E1 PRI gateways as protected devices in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager can also direct an MGCP IOS gateway to play secure and nonsecure indication tones when the system determines the protected status of a call.
You can make the following types of calls that can use the secure and nonsecure indication tones:
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
135
Supported Devices
• Intracluster IP-to-IP calls
• Intercluster calls that the system determines are protected
• IP-to-Time-Division-Multiplexing (TDM) calls through a protected MGCP E1 PRI gateway
Supported Devices
You can use Cisco Unified Reporting to determine which Cisco Unified IP Phone models support secure and nonsecure indication tones. From Cisco Unified Reporting, click Unified CM Phone Feature List. For the
Feature pull-down menu, choose Secure Tone. The system displays a list of products that support the feature.
For more information about using Cisco Unified Reporting, see the Cisco Unified Reporting Administration
Guide.
Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tones Important Information
This section provides information that pertains to the impact of using the secure indication tone feature:
• Facts about protected devices
â—¦You can configure phones that are running SCCP or SIP as protected devices.
â—¦Protected devices that call nonprotected devices that are encrypted play the secure tone, while
Protected devices that call nonprotected and nonencrypted devices play a nonsecure tone.
â—¦When a protected phone calls another protected phone, but the media is not encrypted, the call does not drop. In this case, the system plays nonsecure indication tone to the phones on the call.
• For video calls, the system plays secure and nonsecure indication tones on protected devices.
Note
For video calls, the user may first hear secure indication tone for the audio portion of the call and then nonsecure indication tone for overall nonsecure media.
• A lock icon that displays on a Cisco Unified IP Phone indicates that the media is encrypted, but does not necessarily mean that the phone has been configured as a protected device. However, the lock icon must be present for a protected call to occur.
• The following services and features are impacted:
â—¦Multiline supplementary services (such as call transfer, conference, and call waiting) are supported on protected phones. When the user invokes a supplementary service on a protected phone, the system plays secure or nonsecure indication tone to reflect the updated status of the call.
â—¦Cisco Extension Mobility and Join Across Line services are disabled on protected phones.
â—¦Shared-line configuration is not available on protected phones.
â—¦Hold/Resume and Call Forward All are supported for protected calls.
• Facts about MGCP E1 PRI gateways
136
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Secure Tone Setup Requirements
â—¦You must configure the MGCP gateway for SRTP encryption. Configure the gateway with this command: mgcp package-capability srtp-package.
â—¦The MGCP gateway must specify an Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise Services image
(for example, c3745-adventerprisek9-mz.124-6.T.bin).
â—¦Protected status gets exchanged with the MGCP E1 PRI gateway by using proprietary FacilityIE in the MGCP PRI Setup, Alert, and Connect messages.
â—¦Cisco Unified Communications Manager plays the secure indication tone only to the Cisco Unified
IP Phone. A PBX in the network plays the tone to the gateway end of the call.
â—¦If the media between the Cisco Unified IP Phone and the MGCP E1 PRI gateway is not encrypted, the call drops.
Note
For more information about encryption for MGCP gateways, refer to Media and Signaling
Authentication and Encryption Feature for Cisco IOS MGCP Gateways for the version of Cisco IOS software that you are using.
Secure Tone Setup Requirements
You must configure the following items for the secure tone to play:
• In the Phone Configuration window, which you can navigate to by choosing Device > Phone in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration, configure the following items:
â—¦From the Softkey Template drop-down list in the Device Information portion of the window, choose Standard Protected Phone.
Note
You must use a new softkey template without supplementary service softkeys for a protected phone.
â—¦For the Join Across Lines option (also in the Device Information portion of the window), choose
Off.
â—¦Check the Protected Device check box (also in the Device Information portion of the window).
â—¦From the Device Security Profile drop-down list (in the Protocol Specific Information portion of the window), choose a secure phone profile that is already configured in the Phone Security
Profile Configuration window (System > Security Profile > Phone Security Profile).
• Go to the Directory Number Configuration window that displays when you add a directory number from the Phone Configuration window. In the Multiple Call/Call Waiting Settings on Device
DeviceName area of the Directory Number Configuration window, set the following options to a value of 1:
â—¦Maximum Number of Calls
â—¦Busy Trigger
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
137
Secure Tone Setup Requirements
• In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. In the first Service Parameter Configuration window, choose your server and choose the Cisco
CallManager service. In the second Service Parameter Configuration window, locate the Clusterwide
Parameters (Feature - Secure Tone) area, and set the Play Secure Indication Tone option to True.
(The default value specifies False.)
• If you are configuring a protected MGCP E1 PRI gateway, choose Device > Gateway > Add New in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration and choose a supported gateway. Choose
MCGP as the protocol. When the Gateway Configuration window displays, specify the following configuration choices:
â—¦Set Global ISDN Switch Type to Euro.
â—¦After you complete the rest of the MGCP Gateway configuration, click Save; then, click the endpoint icon that appears to the right of subunit 0 in the window. The Enable Protected Facility
IE check box displays. Check this check box.
This configuration allows the system to pass protected status of the call between Cisco Unified IP
Phone endpoints and the protected PBX phones that connect to the MGCP gateway.

About Certificate Authority Proxy Function
Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF), which automatically installs with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, performs the following tasks, depending on your configuration:
• Authenticate via an existing Manufacturing Installed Certificate (MIC), Locally Significant Certificate
(LSC), randomly generated authentication string, or optional less secure “null” authentication.
• Issues locally significant certificates to supported Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
141
Cisco Unified IP Phone and CAPF Interaction
• Upgrades existing locally significant certificates on the phones.
• Retrieves phone certificates for viewing and troubleshooting.
During installation, a certificate that is specific for CAPF gets generated. This CAPF certificate, which the
Cisco CTL Client copies to all Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers in the cluster, uses the .0
extension.
Cisco Unified IP Phone and CAPF Interaction
When the phone interacts with CAPF, the phone authenticates itself to CAPF by using an authentication string, existing MIC or LSC certificate, or “null,” generates its public key and private key pair, and then forwards its public key to the CAPF server in a signed message. The private key remains in the phone and never gets exposed externally. CAPF signs the phone certificate and then sends the certificate back to the phone in a signed message.
The following information applies when a communication or power failure occurs.
• If a communication failure occurs while the certificate installation is taking place on the phone, the phone will attempt to obtain the certificate three more times in 30-second intervals. You cannot configure these values.
• If a power failure occurs while the phone attempts a session with CAPF, the phone will use the authentication mode that is stored in flash; that is, if the phone cannot load the new configuration file from the TFTP server after the phone reboots. After the certificate operation completes, the system clears the value in flash.
Tip
Be aware that the phone user can abort the certificate operation or view the operation status on the phone.
Tip
Key generation, which is set at low priority, allows the phone to function while the action occurs. You may notice that key generation takes up to 30 or more minutes to complete.
Although the phone functions during certification generation, additional TLS traffic may cause minimal call-processing interruptions with the phone; for example, audio glitches may occur when the certificate is written to flash at the end of the installation.
Consider the following information about how CAPF interacts with the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and
7940G when the phone is reset by a user or by Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
In the following examples, if the LSC does not already exist in the phone and if By Existing Certificate is chosen for the CAPF Authentication Mode, the CAPF certificate operation fails.
Example—Nonsecure Device Security Mode
In this example, the phone resets after you configure the Device Security Mode to Nonsecure and the CAPF
Authentication Mode to By Null String or By Existing Certificate (Precedence...). After the phone resets, it immediately registers with the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager and receives the configuration
142
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
CAPF Interaction with IPv6 Addressing
file. The phone then automatically initiates a session with CAPF to download the LSC. After the phone installs the LSC, configure the Device Security Mode to Authenticated or Encrypted.
Example—Authenticated/Encrypted Device Security Mode
In this example, the phone resets after you configure the Device Security Mode to Authenticated or Encrypted and the CAPF Authentication Mode to By Null String or By Existing Certificate (Precedence...). The phone does not register with the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager until the CAPF session ends and the phone installs the LSC. After the session ends, the phone registers and immediately runs in authenticated or encrypted mode.
You cannot configure By Authentication String in this example because the phone does not automatically contact the CAPF server; the registration fails if the phone does not have a valid LSC.
CAPF Interaction with IPv6 Addressing
CAPF can issue and upgrade certificates to a phone that uses an IPv4, an IPv6, or both types of addresses. To issue or upgrade certificates for phones that are running SCCP that use an IPv6 address, you must set the
Enable IPv6 service parameter to True in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
When the phone connects to CAPF to get a certificate, CAPF uses the configuration from the Enable IPv6 enterprise parameter to determine whether to issue or upgrade the certificate to the phone. If the enterprise parameter is set to False, CAPF ignores/rejects connections from phones that use IPv6 addresses, and the phone does not receive the certificate.

CAPF System Interactions and Requirements
The following requirements exist for CAPF:
• Before you use CAPF, ensure that you performed all necessary tasks to install and configure the
Cisco CTL Client. To use CAPF, you must activate the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function service on the first node.
• During a certificate upgrade or install operation, if By Authentication String is the CAPF authentication method for the phone, you must enter the same authentication string on the phone after the operation, or the operation will fail. If TFTP Encrypted Configuration enterprise parameter is enabled and you fail to enter the authentication string, the phone may fail and may not recover until the matching authentication string is entered on the phone.
• Cisco strongly recommends that you use CAPF during a scheduled maintenance window because generating many certificates at the same time may cause call-processing interruptions.
• All servers in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster must use the same administrator username and password, so CAPF can authenticate to all servers in the cluster.
• Ensure that the first node is functional and running during the entire certificate operation.
144
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
CAPF in Cisco Unified Serviceability Setup
• Ensure that the phone is functional during the entire certificate operation.
• If a secure phone gets moved to another cluster, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager will not trust the LSC certificate that the phone sends because it was issued by another CAPF, whose certificate is not in the CTL file. To enable the secure phone to register, delete the existing CTL file. You can then use the Install/Upgrade option to install a new LSC certificate with the new CAPF and reset the phone for the new CTL file (or use the MIC). Use the Delete option in the CAPF section on the Phone
Configuration window to delete the existing LSC before you move the phones.
Tip
Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore System (BARS) backs up the CAPF data and reports because
Cisco Unified Communications Manager stores the information in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database.

About Phone Configuration File Encryption
To secure digest credentials and secured passwords in phone downloads from Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, you must enable the TFTP Encrypted Config option in the Phone Security Profile Configuration window and perform additional tasks in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
After you enable the TFTP Encrypt Config option, configure the required parameters in Cisco Unified

155
About Phone Configuration File Encryption
Warning
If digest authentication is True for the phone that is running SIP when the TFTP encrypted configuration setting is False, digest credentials may get sent in the clear.
Some phones do not support encrypted phone configuration files. The phone model and protocol determine the method that the system uses to encrypt the configuration file. Supported methods rely on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager functionality and a firmware load that supports encrypted configuration files. If you downgrade the phone firmware load to a version that does not support encrypted configuration files, the
TFTP server offers an unencrypted configuration file that provides minimal configuration settings, and the phone may not perform as expected.
To ensure that you maintain the privacy of the key information, Cisco strongly recommends that you perform the tasks that are associated with encrypted phone configuration files in a secure environment.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the following methods:
• Manual key distribution
• Symmetric key encryption with a phone public key
The setup information provided for manual key distribution and symmetric key encryption with a phone public key assume that you have configured Mixed Mode and enabled the TFTP Encrypted Config parameter in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

Manual Key Distribution
With manual key distribution, a 128- or 256-bit symmetric key, which is stored in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database, encrypts the phone configuration file after the phone resets. To determine the key size for your phone model.
To encrypt the configuration file, the administrator can either manually enter the key into or prompt Cisco
Unified Communications Manager to generate the key in the Phone Configuration window. After the key exists in the database, the administrator or user must enter the key into the phone by accessing the user interface on the phone; the phone stores the key in flash as soon as you press the Accept softkey. After the key is entered, the phone requests an encrypted configuration file after it is reset. After the required tasks occur, the symmetric key uses RC4 or AES 128 encryption algorithms to encrypt the configuration file. To determine which phones use the RC4 or AES 128 encryption algorithms.
When the phone contains the symmetric key, the phone always requests the encrypted configuration file.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager downloads the encrypted configuration file to the phone, which the
TFTP server signs. Not all phone types validate the signer of the configuration file.
The phone decrypts the file contents by using the symmetric key that is stored in flash. If decryption fails, the configuration file does not get applied to the phone.
156
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
About Phone Configuration File Encryption
Tip
If the TFTP Encrypted Config setting gets disabled, administrators must remove the symmetric key from the phone GUI, so the phone requests an unencrypted configuration file the next time that it is reset.
Related Topics
Phone Model Support, on page 117
Symmetric Key Encryption with Phone Public Key
If the phone contains a manufacturing-installed certificate (MIC) or a locally significant certificate (LSC), the phone contains a public and private key pair, which are used for PKI encryption.
If you are using this method for the first time, the phone compares the MD5 hash of the phone certificate in the configuration file to the MD5 hash of the LSC or MIC. If the phone does not identify a problem, the phone requests an encrypted configuration file from the TFTP server after the phone resets. If the phone identifies a problem, for example, the hash does not match, the phone does not contain a certificate, or the MD5 value is blank, the phone attempts to initiate a session with CAPF unless the CAPF authentication mode equals By
Authentication String (in which case, you must manually enter the string). The Certificate Authority Proxy
Function (CAPF) authenticates Cisco Unified IP Phones to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and issues phone certificates (LSCs). CAPF extracts the phone public key from the LSC or MIC, generates a MD5 hash, and stores the values for the public key and certificate hash in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database. After the public key gets stored in the database, the phone resets and requests a new configuration file.
After the public key exists in the database and the phone resets, the symmetric key encryption process begins after the database notifies TFTP that the public key exists for the phone. The TFTP server generates a 128-bit symmetric key, which encrypts the configuration file with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128 encryption algorithm. Then, the phone public key encrypts the symmetric key, which it includes in the signed envelope header of the configuration file. The phone validates the file signing, and, if the signature is valid, the phone uses the private key from the LSC or MIC to decrypt the encrypted symmetric key. The symmetric key then decrypts the file contents.
Every time that you update the configuration file, the TFTP server automatically generates a new key to encrypt the file.
Tip
For phones that support this encryption method, the phone uses the encryption configuration flag in the configuration file to determine whether to request an encrypted or unencrypted file. If the TFTP Encrypted
Config setting is disabled, and Cisco Unified IP Phones that support this encryption method request an encrypted file (.enc.sgn file), Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends a 'file not found error' to the phone. The phone then requests an unencrypted, signed file (.sgn file).
If the TFTP Encrypted Config setting is enabled but the phone requests an unencrypted configuration file for some reason, the TFTP server offers an unencrypted file that contains minimal configuration settings.
After the phone receives the minimum configuration, the phone can detect error conditions, such as key mismatch, and may start a session with CAPF to synchronize the phone public key with the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database. If the error condition is resolved, the phone requests an encrypted configuration file the next time that it resets.

AES 256 Encryption Support for TLS and SIP SRTP
Cisco Collaboration Solutions use Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Real-time Transport Protocol
(SRTP) for signaling and media encryption. Currently, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit encryption key is used as the encryption cipher. AES also uses Hash-based Message Authentication Code
Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (HMAC-SHA-1) as the authentication method. These algorithms cannot effectively scale to meet the required changing security and performance needs. To meet escalating security and performance requirements, the algorithms and protocols for encryption, authentication, digital signatures, and key exchange in Next-Generation Encryption (NGE) are developed. Also, AES 256 encryption support is provided instead of AES 128 for TLS and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) SRTP that supports NGE.
With Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the AES 256 encryption support for TLS and SIP SRTP is enhanced to focus on AES 256 cipher support in signaling and media encryption. This feature is useful for the applications that run on Cisco Unified Communications Manager to initiate and support TLS 1.2 connections with the AES-256 based ciphers that conform to SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm) standards and is Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant.
This feature has the following requirements:
• The connection that the SIP trunk and SIP line initiates.
• The ciphers that Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports for SRTP calls over SIP line and
SIP trunk.
AES 256 and SHA-2 Support in TLS
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol provides authentication, data integrity, and confidentiality for communications between two applications. TLS 1.2 is based on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol version
3.0, although the two protocols are not compatible with each other. TLS operates in a client/server mode where one side acts as a server and the other side acts as a client. SSL is positioned as a protocol layer between the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer and the application to form a secure connection between clients and servers so that they can communicate securely over a network. To operate, TLS requires TCP as the reliable transport layer protocol.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, AES 256 and SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm-2) support in TLS
1.2 is an enhancement to handle the connection that is initiated by the SIP Trunk and the SIP line. The supported ciphers, which are AES 256 and SHA-2 compliant, are listed as follows:
• TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256—The cipher string is
ECDH-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256.
• TLS_ECDH_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384—The cipher string is
ECDH-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384.
where:
• TLS is Transport Layer Security
158
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
AES 256 Encryption Support for TLS and SIP SRTP
Note
• ECDH is Elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman, which is an algorithm
• RSA is Rivest Shamir Adleman, which is an algorithm
• AES is Advanced Encryption Standards
• GCM is Galois/Counter Mode
In addition to the newly-supported ciphers, Cisco Unified Communications Manager continues to support
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA. The cipher string of this cipher is AES128-SHA.
• The Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificates are based on RSA.
• In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Endpoints (phones) do not support the above mentioned new ciphers for TLS 1.2.
• With AES 256 and SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm-2) support in TLS 1.2 enhancement in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the default key size for Certificate Authority Proxy Function
(CAPF) is increased to 2048 bits.
AES 256 Support in SRTP SIP Call Signaling
Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) defines the methods of providing confidentiality and data integrity for both Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) voice and video media and their corresponding Real-time
Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) streams. SRTP implements this method through the use of encryption and message authentication headers. In SRTP, encryption applies to the payload of the RTP packet only, and not to the RTP header. However, message authentication applies to both the RTP header and the RTP payload.
Also, SRTP indirectly provides protection against replay attacks because message authentication applies to the RTP sequence number within the header. SRTP uses Advanced Encryption Standards (AES) with a 128-bit encryption key as the encryption cipher. It also uses Hash-based Message Authentication Code Secure Hash
Algorithm-1 (HMAC-SHA-1) as the authentication method.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports crypto ciphers for the SRTP calls over SIP line and SIP trunk. These crypto ciphers are AEAD_AES_256_GCM and AEAD_AES_128_GCM, where AEAD is
Authenticated-Encryption with Associated-Data, and GCM is Galois/Counter Mode. These ciphers are based on GCM. If these ciphers are present in the Session Description Protocol (SDP), they are treated with higher priority as compared to the AES 128 and SHA-1 based ciphers. Cisco Endpoints (phones) do not support these new ciphers that you add for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for SRTP.
In addition to the newly supported ciphers, Cisco Unified Communications Manager continues to support the following ciphers:
• AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80
• AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_32
• F8_128_HMAC_SHA1_80
AES 256 encryption is supported in the following calls:
• SIP line to SIP line call signaling
• SIP line to SIP trunk signaling
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
159
Phone Models Supporting Encrypted Configuration File
• SIP trunk to SIP trunk signaling
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Requirements
• Support for TLS Version 1.2 on the SIP trunk and SIP line connections is available.
• Cipher support—TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (cipher string
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384) and TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
(cipher string ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256)—is available when the TLS 1.2 connection is made. These ciphers are based on GCM and conform to SHA-2 category.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager initiates TLS1.2 with the
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 ciphers. If the peer does not support TLS1.2, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager will fall back to TLS 1.0 with the existing AES128-SHA cipher.
• The SRTP calls over SIP line and SIP trunk support the GCM-based AEAD_AES_256_GCM and
AEAD_AES_128_GCM ciphers.
Interactions and Restrictions
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager requirements apply to SIP line and SIP trunk, and basic SIP to SIP calls only.
• The device types that are based on non-SIP protocols will continue to support the existing behavior with the TLS versions with the supported ciphers. Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) also supports TLS
1.2 with the earlier supported ciphers.
• SIP to non-SIP calls will continue to use AES 128 and SHA-1 based ciphers.
Phone Models Supporting Encrypted Configuration File
You can encrypt the phone configuration file for the following Cisco Unified IP Phones:

File signing support: Yes
Note
Cisco Unified IP Phones 6901 and 6911 do not request for the ITL file as they do not support security by default. Therefore, the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster should be set to secure (Mixed) mode for the Cisco Unified IP Phones(6901 and
6911) to get the Cisco CTL file containing
Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function
(CAPF) details for the encrypted configuration file to work on the Cisco IP
Phones (6901 and 6911).
Encrypted Configuration File Setup Tips
Cisco recommends that you enable the TFTP Encrypted Config flag to secure confidential data in phone downloads. For phones that do not have PKI capabilities, you must also configure a symmetric key in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration and in the phone. If the symmetric key is missing from either the phone or Cisco Unified Communications Manager or if a mismatch occurs when the TFTP Encrypted
Config flag is set, the phone cannot register.
Consider the following information when you configure encrypted configuration files in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration:
• Only phones that support encrypted configuration files display the TFTP Encrypted Config flag in the phone security profile. You cannot configure encrypted configuration files for Cisco Unified IP Phones
7905G, 7912G, 7940G, and 7960G (SCCP only) because these phones do not receive confidential data in the configuration file download.
• The default setting for TFTP Encrypted Config specifies False (not checked). If you apply the default, non-secure profile to the phone, digest credentials and secured passwords get sent in the clear.
• For Cisco Unified IP Phones that use public key encryption, Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not require you to set the Device Security Mode to authenticated or encrypted to enable encrypted configuration files. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the CAPF process for downloading its public key during registration.
• You may choose to download unencrypted configuration files to phones if you know your environment is secure or to avoid manually configuring symmetric keys for phones that are not PKI-enabled; however,
Cisco does not recommend using this method.
• For Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905G, 7912G, 7940G, and 7960G (SIP only), Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration provides a method of sending digest credentials to the phone that is easier, but less secure, than using an encrypted configuration file. This method, which uses the
Exclude Digest Credential in Configuration File setting, is useful for initializing digest credentials because it does not require you to first configure a symmetric key and enter it on the phone.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
161
Set up TFTP Encryption
With this method, you send the digest credentials to the phone in an unencrypted configuration file. After the credentials are in the phone, Cisco recommends that you keep the TFTP file encryption setting disabled and enable the Exclude Digest Credential in Configuration File flag on the corresponding security profile window, which will exclude digest credentials from future downloads.
After digest credentials exist in these phones and an incoming file does not contain digest credentials, the existing credentials remain in place. The digest credentials remain intact until the phone is factory reset or new credentials (including blanks) are received.
If you change digest credentials for a phone or end user, temporarily disable the Exclude Digest Credentials flag on the corresponding security profile window to download the new digest credentials to the phone.
Set up TFTP Encryption
Complete these tasks to set up encryption for TFTP configuration files.
Before You Begin
• Cluster security must be mixed mode.
• Verify which phones in your cluster support manual key encryption and which support public key encryption.

Digest Authentication for SIP Phones Setup
This chapter provides information about digest authentication for SIP phones setup. For additional information on how digest authentication works for phones that are running SIP, see topics related to digest authentication.
When you enable digest authentication for a phone, Cisco Unified Communications Manager challenges all requests except keepalive messages for phones that are running SIP. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the digest credentials for the end user, as configured in the End User Configuration window, to validate the credentials that the phone offers.
If the phone supports extension mobility, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the digest credentials for the extension mobility end user, as configured in the End User Configuration window, when the extension mobility user logs in.
For information about configuring digest authentication for non-Cisco phones that are running SIP, refer to
Appendix C in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Gratuitous ARP Disable
By default, Cisco Unified IP Phones accept Gratuitous ARP packets. Gratuitous ARP packets, which devices use, announce the presence of the device on the network. However, attackers can use these packets to spoof a valid network device; for example, an attacker could send out a packet that claims to be the default router.
If you choose to do so, you can disable Gratuitous ARP in the Phone Configuration window.
Note
Disabling this functionality does not prevent the phone from identifying its default router.
Web Access Disable
Disabling the web server functionality for the phone blocks access to the phone internal web pages, which provide statistics and configuration information. Features, such as Cisco Quality Report Tool, do not function properly without access to the phone web pages. Disabling the web server also affects any serviceability application, such as CiscoWorks, that relies on web access.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
173
PC Voice VLAN Access Disable
To determine whether the web services are disabled, the phone parses a parameter in the configuration file that indicates whether the services are disabled or enabled. If the web services are disabled, the phone does not open the HTTP port 80 for monitoring purposes and blocks access to the phone internal web pages.
PC Voice VLAN Access Disable
By default,Cisco Unified IP Phones forward all packets that are received on the switch port (the one that faces the upstream switch) to the PC port. If you choose to disable the PC Voice VLAN Access setting in the Phone
Configuration window, packets that are received from the PC port that use voice VLAN functionality will drop. Various Cisco Unified IP Phones use this functionality differently.
• Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940G and 7960G drop any packets that are tagged with the voice VLAN, in or out of the PC port.
• Cisco Unified IP Phone 7912G cannot perform this functionality.
Setting Access Disable
By default, pressing the Settings button on a Cisco Unified IP Phone provides access to a variety of information, including phone configuration information. Disabling the Setting Access setting in the Phone Configuration window prohibits access to all options that normally display when you press the Settings button on the phone; for example, the Contrast, Ring Type, Network Configuration, Model Information, and Status settings.
The preceding settings do not display on the phone if you disable the setting in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration. If you disable this setting, the phone user cannot save the settings that are associated with the Volume button; for example, the user cannot save the volume.
Disabling this setting automatically saves the current Contrast, Ring Type, Network Configuration, Model
Information, Status, and Volume settings that exist on the phone. To change these phone settings, you must enable the Setting Access setting in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
PC Port Disable
By default, Cisco Unified Communications Manager enables the PC port on all Cisco Unified IP Phones that have a PC port. If you choose to do so, you can disable the PC Port setting in the Phone Configuration window.
Disabling the PC port proves useful for lobby or conference room phones.

Secure Conference
The Secure Conferencing feature provides authentication and encryption to secure a conference. A conference gets considered secure when all participating devices have encrypted signaling and media. The secure conference feature supports SRTP encryption over a secure TLS or IPSec connection.
The system provides a security icon for the overall security status of the conference, which is determined by the lowest security level of the participating devices. For example, a secure conference that includes two encrypted connections and one authenticated connection has a conference security status of authenticated.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
177
Conference Bridge Requirements
To configure secure ad hoc and meet-me conferences, you configure a secure conference bridge.
• If a user initiates a conference call from a phone that is authenticated or encrypted, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager allocates the secure conference bridge
• If a user initiates a call from a phone that is nonsecure, Cisco Unified Communications Manager allocates a nonsecure conference bridge.
When you configure conference bridge resources as nonsecure, the conference remains nonsecure, regardless of the security configuration for the phone.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager allocates a conference bridge from the Media Resource Group
List (MRGL) for the phone that is initiating the conference. If a secure conference bridge is not available,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns a nonsecure conference bridge, and the conference is nonsecure. Likewise, if a nonsecure conference bridge is not available, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager assigns a secure conference bridge, and the conference is nonsecure. If no conference bridge is available, the call will fail.
For meet-me conference calls, the phone that initiates the conference must also meet the minimum security requirement that is configured for the meet-me number. If no secure conference bridge is available or if the initiator security level does not meet the minimum, Cisco Unified Communications Manager rejects the conference attempt.
To secure conferences with barge, configure phones to use encrypted mode. After the Barge key is pressed and if the device is authenticated or encrypted, Cisco Unified Communications Manager establishes a secure connection between the barging party and the built-in bridge at the target device. The system provides a conference security status for all connected parties in the barge call.
Note
Nonsecure or authenticated Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.3 or later can now barge encrypted calls.

Conference Bridge Requirements
A conference bridge can register as a secure media resource when you add a hardware conference bridge to your network and configure a secure conference bridge in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration.
Note
Due to the performance impact to Cisco Unified Communications Manager processing, Cisco does not support secure conferencing on software conference bridge.
A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) farm, which provides conferencing on a H.323 or MGCP gateway, acts as the network resource for IP telephony conferencing. The conference bridge registers to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager as a secure SCCP client.
178
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Secure Conference Icons
• The conference bridge root certificate must exist in CallManager trust store, and the Cisco CallManager certificate must exist in the conference bridge trust store.
• The secure conference bridge security setting must match the security setting in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager to register.
For more information about conferencing routers, refer to the IOS router documentation that is provided with your router.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns conference resources to calls on a dynamic basis. The available conference resource and the enabled codec provide the maximum number of concurrent, secure conferences allowed per router. Because transmit and receive streams are individually keyed for each participating endpoint (so no rekeying is necessary when a participant leaves the conference), the total secure conference capacity for a DSP module equals one-half the nonsecure capacity that you can configure.
See “Understanding Conference Devices” in the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager for more information.
Secure Conference Icons
Cisco Unified IP Phones display a conference security icon for the security level of the entire conference.
These icons match the status icons for a secure two-party call, as described in the user documentation for your phone.
The audio and video portions of the call provide the basis for the conference security level. The call gets considered secure only if both the audio and video portions are secure.
For ad hoc and meet-me secure conferences, the security icon for the conference displays next to the conference softkey in the phone window for conference participants. The icon that displays depends on the security level of the conference bridge and all participants:
• A lock icon displays if the conference bridge is secure and all participants in the conference are encrypted.
• A shield icon displays if the conference bridge is secure and all participants in the conference are authenticated. Some phone models do not display the shield icon.
• When the conference bridge or any participant in the conference is nonsecure, the call state icon (active, hold, and so on) displays, or, on some older phone models, no icon displays.
Note
The “Override BFCP Application Encryption Status When Designating Call Security Status” service parameter displays the lock icon when parameter value is True and audio is secure. This condition ignores the security statuses of all other media channels. The default parameter value is False.
When an encrypted phone connects to a secure conference bridge, the media streaming between the device and the conference bridge gets encrypted; however, the icon for the conference can be encrypted, authenticated, or nonsecure depending on the security levels of the other participants. A nonsecure status indicates that one of the parties is not secure or cannot be verified.
When a user presses Barge, the icon that displays next to the Barge softkey provides the security level for the barge conference. If the barging device and the barged device support encryption, the system encrypts the media between the two devices, but the barge conference status can be nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted, depending on the security levels of the connected parties.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
179
Secure Conference Status
Secure Conference Status
Conference status can change as participants enter and leave the conference. An encrypted conference can revert to a security level of authenticated or nonsecure if an authenticated or nonsecure participant connects to the call. Likewise, the status can upgrade if an authenticated or nonsecure participant drops off the call. A nonsecure participant that connects to a conference call renders the conference nonsecure.
Conference status can also change when participants chain conferences together, when the security status for a chained conference changes, when a held conference call is resumed on another device, when a conference call gets barged, or when a transferred conference call completes to another device.
Note
The Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter determines whether ad hoc conferences can be linked together by using features such as conference, join, direct transfer, and transfer.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides these options to maintain a secure conference:
• Ad hoc conference lists
• Meet-Me conference with minimum security level
Related Topics
Ad Hoc Conference Lists, on page 180
Meet-Me Conference with Minimum Security Level, on page 181
Ad Hoc Conference Lists
A conference list displays on participating phones when the ConfList softkey is pressed during a conference call. The conference list provides the conference status as well as the security status for each participant to identify participants that are not encrypted.
Conference list displays these security icons: nonsecure, authenticated, encrypted, held. The conference initiator can use the conference list to eject participants with a low security status.
Note
The Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter determines whether conference participants other than the conference initiator can eject conference participants.
As participants join the conference, they get added to the top of the conference list. To remove nonsecure participants from a secure conference with the ConfList and RmLstC softkeys, refer to the user documentation for your phone.
The following sections describe secure ad hoc conference interactions with other features.
Secure Ad Hoc Conference and Conference Chaining
When an ad hoc conference is chained to another ad hoc conference, the chained conference displays in the list as member “Conference” with its own security status. Cisco Unified Communications Manager includes the security level for the chained conference to determine the overall conference security status.
180
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Secure Conference Status
Secure Ad Hoc Conference and cBarge
When a user presses the cBarge softkey to join an active conference, Cisco Unified Communications Manager creates an ad hoc conference and allocates a conference bridge according to the security level and MRGL of the barged device. The cbarge member names display in the conference list.
Secure Ad Hoc Conference and Barge
If a participant in a secure ad hoc conference gets barged, the barge call security status shows in the conference list next to the barge target. The security icon for the barge target may show authenticated when, in fact, the media is encrypted between the barge target and the conference bridge, because the barge caller has an authenticated connection.
If the barge target is secure but in an unsecured ad hoc conference, if the ad hoc conference status later changes to secure, the barge caller icon will update as well.
Secure Ad Hoc Conference and Join
Authenticated or encrypted phone users can use the Join softkey at a Cisco Unified IP Phone (only phones that are running SCCP) to create or join a secure ad hoc conference. If a user presses Join to add a participant with an unknown security status to an existing conference, Cisco Unified Communications Manager downgrades the conference status to unknown. A participant who adds a new member with Join becomes the conference initiator and can eject the new member or any other participant from the conference list (if the Advanced Ad
Hoc Conference Enabled setting is True).
Secure Ad Hoc Conference and Hold/Resume
When a conference initiator puts the conference call on hold to add a participant, the conference status remains unknown (nonsecure) until the added participant answers the call. After the new participant answers, conference status updates in the conference list.
If a caller on a shared line resumes a held conference call at another phone, the conference list updates when the caller presses Resume.
Meet-Me Conference with Minimum Security Level
As administrator, you can specify a minimum security level for a conference when you configure a meet-me pattern or number as nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted. Participants must meet the minimum security requirement, or the system blocks the participant and drops the call. This action applies to meet-me conference call transfers, resumed meet-me conference calls on shared lines, and chained Meet-Me conferences.
The phone that initiates the meet-me conference must meet the minimum security level, or the system rejects the attempt. When the minimum security level specifies authenticated or encrypted and a secure conference bridge is not available, the call fails.
If you specify nonsecure as the minimum level for the conference bridge, the conference bridge accepts all calls, and the conference status is nonsecure.
The following sections describe secure meet-me conference interactions with other features.
Meet-Me Conference and Ad Hoc Conference
To add a meet-me conference to an ad hoc conference or add an ad hoc conference to a meet-me conference, the ad hoc conference must meet the minimum security level for the meet-me conference, or the call is dropped.
The conference icon can change when the conference gets added.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
181
Cisco Unified IP Phone Secure Conference and Icon Support
Meet-Me Conference and Barge
Unless a barge caller meets the minimum security requirement when the caller barges a meet-me conference participant, the security level of the barged device downgrades, and both the barge caller and the barged call get dropped.
Meet-Me Conference and Hold/Resume
A phone on a shared line cannot resume a meet-me conference unless the phone meets the minimum security level. If a phone does not meet the minimum security level, all phones on the shared line get blocked when the user presses Resume.

Warning
To obtain the full benefit of secure conference features, Cisco recommends upgrading Cisco Unified IP
Phones to release 8.3, which supports the encryption features in this release. Encrypted phones that run earlier releases do not fully support these new features. These phones can only participate in secure conference as authenticated or nonsecure participants.
Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.3 with an earlier release of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager will display their connection security status, not the conference security status, during a conference call, and do not support secure conference features like conference list.
See topics related to Cisco Unified Communications Manager secure conference restrictions for more restrictions that apply to Cisco Unified IP Phones.
For additional information about secure conference calls and security icons, refer to your phone user guide and the Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager that supports this Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

Secure Conference Over Trunks and Gateways
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports secure conference over intracluster trunks (ICTs), H.323
trunks/gateways, and MGCP gateways; however, encrypted phones that are running release 8.2 or earlier will revert to RTP for ICT and H.323 calls, and the media does not get encrypted.
If a conference involves a SIP trunk, the secure conference status is nonsecure. In addition, SIP trunk signaling does not support secure conference notifications to off-cluster participants.
CDR Data
CDR data provides the security status of each call leg from the phone endpoint to the conference bridge as well as the security status of the conference itself. The two values use two different fields inside the CDR database.
CDR data provides termination cause code 58 (Bearer capability not presently available) when a meet-me conference rejects a join attempt that does not meet the minimum security level requirement. See the CDR

•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Restrictions with Secure Conference, on page 184
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Interactions with Secure Conference
This section describes Cisco Unified Communications Manager interactions with the secure conference feature.
• To keep a conference secure, if a participant in a secure ad hoc conference puts a call on hold or parks the call, the system does not play MOH, even if the Suppress MOH to Conference Bridge service parameter is set to False. The secure conference status does not change.
• In intercluster environments, if an off-cluster conference participant presses hold in a secure ad hoc conference, the media stream to the device stops, MOH plays, and the media status changes to unknown.
If the off-cluster participant resumes a held call with MOH, the conference status may upgrade.
• A secure MeetMe call across an intercluster trunk (ICT) will clear if the remote user invokes a phone feature such a hold/resume, which changes the media status to unknown.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
183
Interactions and Restrictions
• Annunciator tones or announcements for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Multilevel Precedence and Preemption that play on a participant phone during a secure ad hoc conference change the conference status to nonsecure.
• If a caller barges a secure SCCP phone call, the system uses an internal tone-playing mechanism at the target device, and the conference status remains secure.
• If a caller barges a secure SIP phone call, the system provides tone-on-hold, and the conference status remains nonsecure during the tone.
• If a conference is secure and RSVP is enabled, the conference remains secure.
• For conference calls that involve the PSTN, the security conference icon shows the security status for only the IP domain portion of the call.
• The Maximum Call Duration Timer service parameter also controls the maximum conference duration.
• Conference bridge supports packet capture. During a packet capture session, the phone displays a nonsecure status for the conference, even if the media stream is encrypted.
• The media security policy that is configured for your system may alter secure conference behavior; for example, an endpoint will use media security according to the system media security policy, even when participating in a conference call with endpoints that do no support media security.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Restrictions with Secure Conference
This section describes Cisco Unified Communications Manager restrictions with secure conferencing feature.
• Encrypted Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.2 or earlier can only participate in a secure conference as authenticated or nonsecure participants.
• Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running release 8.3 with an earlier release of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager will display their connection security status, not the conference security status, during a conference call and do not support secure conference features like conference list.
• Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905G and 7911G do not support conference list.
• Due to bandwidth requirements, Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940G and 7960G do not support barge from an encrypted device on an active encrypted call. The barge attempt will fail.
• Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G does not support conference chaining.
• Phones that are calling over SIP trunks get treated as nonsecure phones, regardless of their device security status.
• If a secure phone attempts to join a secure meet-me conference over a SIP trunk, the call gets dropped.
Because SIP trunks do not support providing the “device not authorized” message to a phone that is running SIP, the phone does not update with this message. In addition, 7960G phones that are running
SIP do not support the “device not authorized” message.
• In intercluster environments, the conference list does not display for off-cluster participants; however, the security status for the connection displays next to the Conference softkey as long as the connection between the clusters supports it. For example, for H.323 ICT connections, the authentication icon does not display (the system treats the authenticated connection as nonsecure), but the encryption icon displays for an encrypted connection.
Off-cluster participants can create their own conference that connects to another cluster across the cluster boundary. The system treats the connected conferences as a basic, two-party call.

Securing Conference Resources Tips
Securing Conference Resources Tips
Consider the following information before you configure secure conference bridge resources:
• Use localization if you want the phone to display custom text for secure conference messages. Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer documentation for more information.
• The conference or built-in bridge must support encryption to secure conference calls.
• To enable secure conference bridge registration, set the cluster security mode to mixed mode.
• Ensure the phone that initiates a conference is authenticated or encrypted to procure a secure conference bridge.
• To maintain conference integrity on shared lines, do not configure devices that share a line with different security modes; for example, do not configure an encrypted phone to share a line with an authenticated or nonsecure phone.
• Do not use SIP trunks as ICTs when you want to share conference security status between clusters.
• If you set the cluster security mode to mixed mode, the security mode that is configured for the DSP farm (nonsecure or encrypted) must match the conference bridge security mode in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration, or the conference bridge cannot register. The conference bridge registers as encrypted when both security modes specify encrypted; the conference bridge registers as nonsecure when both security modes specify nonsecure.
• If you set the cluster security mode to mixed mode, if the security profile you applied to the conference bridge is encrypted, but the conference bridge security level is nonsecure, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager rejects conference bridge registration.
• If you set the cluster security mode to nonsecure mode, configure the security mode at the DSP farm as nonsecure, so the conference bridge can register. The conference bridge registers as nonsecure even if the setting in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration specifies encrypted.
• During registration, the conference bridge must pass authentication. To pass authentication, the DSP farm must contain the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate, and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager must contain certificates for the DSP farm system and the DSP connection.
To ensure the conference bridge passes authentication, the X509 certification name must contain the conference bridge name.
• If conference bridge certificates expire or change for any reason, use the certificate management feature in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration to update the certificates in the trusted store. The TLS authentication fails when certificates do not match, and conference bridge does not work because it cannot register to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• The secure conference bridge registers to Cisco Unified Communications Manager through TLS connection at port 2443; a nonsecure conference bridge registers to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager through TCP connection at port 2000.
• Changing the device security mode for the conference bridge requires a reset of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager devices and a restart of the Cisco CallManager service.

Voice-Messaging Security
To configure security for Cisco Unified Communications Manager voice-messaging ports and Cisco Unity devices that are running SCCP or Cisco Unity Connection devices that are running SCCP, you choose a secure device security mode for the port. If you choose an authenticated voice mail port, a TLS connection opens, which authenticates the devices by using a mutual certificate exchange (each device accepts the certificate of the other device). If you choose encrypted voice mail port, the system first authenticates the devices and then sends encrypted voice streams between the devices.
• For Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection 1.2 or earlier, the Cisco Unity Unified CM TSP connects to Cisco Unified Communications Manager through the TLS port when the device security mode equals authenticated or encrypted. When the device security mode equals nonsecure, the Cisco Unity Unified CM
TSP connects to Cisco Unified Communications Manager through the SCCP port.
• Cisco Unity Connection 2.0 or later connects to Cisco Unified Communications Manager through the
TLS port. When the device security mode equals nonsecure, Cisco Unity Connection connects to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager through the SCCP port.
Note
In this chapter, the use of the term “server” refers to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
The use of the phrase “voice-mail server” refers to a Cisco Unity server or to a Cisco Unity Connection server.

Voice-Messaging Security Setup Tips
Voice-Messaging Security Setup Tips
Consider the following information before you configure security:
• You must run Cisco Unity 4.0(5) or later with this version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• You must run Cisco Unity Connection 1.2 or later with this version of Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
• For Cisco Unity, you must perform security tasks by using the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration
Manager (UTIM); for Cisco Unity Connection, you must perform security tasks by using Cisco Unity
Connection Administration. For information on how to perform these tasks, refer to the applicable Cisco
Unified Communications Manager integration guide for Cisco Unity or for Cisco Unity Connection.
• In addition to the procedures that are described in this chapter, you must use the certificate management feature in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System to save the Cisco Unity certificate to the trusted store.
For more information, see the “To Add Voice Messaging Ports in Cisco Unity Connection Administration” procedure in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager SCCP Integration Guide for Cisco Unity
Connection at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/integration/guide/cucm_sccp/guide/ cucintcucmskinny230.html
After you copy the certificate, you must restart the Cisco CallManager service on each Cisco Unified
Communications Manager server in the cluster.
• If Cisco Unity certificates expire or change for any reason, use the certificate management feature in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to update the certificates in the trusted store. The TLS authentication fails when certificates do not match, and voice messaging does not work because it cannot register to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• When configuring voice-mail server ports, you must select a device security mode.
• The setting that you specify in the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager (UTIM) or in Cisco
Unity Connection Administration must match the voice-messaging port device security mode that is configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. In Cisco Unity Connection
Administration, you apply the device security mode to the voice-messaging port in the Voice Mail Port
Configuration window (or in the Voice Mail Port Wizard).
Tip
If the device security mode settings do not match, the voice-mail server ports fail to register with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, and the voice-mail server cannot accept calls on those ports.
• Changing the security profile for the port requires a reset of Cisco Unified Communications Manager devices and a restart of the voice-mail server software. If you apply a security profile in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration that uses a different device security mode than the previous profile, you must change the setting on the voice-mail server.
• You cannot change the Device Security Mode for existing voice-mail servers through the Voice Mail
Port Wizard. If you add ports to an existing voice-mail server, the device security mode that is currently configured for the profile automatically applies to the new ports.

Authentication for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
Authentication for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows you to secure the signaling connections and media streams between CTIManager and CTI/JTAPI/TAPI applications.
Note
The following information assumes that you configured security settings during the Cisco JTAPI/TSP plug-in installation. It also assumes that the Cluster Security Mode equals Mixed Mode, as configured in the Cisco CTL Client or through the CLI command set utils ctl. If these settings are not configured when you perform the tasks that are described in this chapter, CTIManager and the application connect via a nonsecure port, port 2748.
CTIManager and the application verify the identity of the other party through a mutually authenticated TLS handshake (certificate exchange). When a TLS connection occurs, CTIManager and the application exchange
QBE messages via the TLS port, port 2749.
To authenticate with the application, CTIManager uses the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate
— either the self-signed certificate that installs automatically on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server during installation or a third-party, CA-signed certificate that you uploaded to the platform.
After you generate the CTL file through the CLI command set utils ctl or the Cisco CTL Client, this certificate is added automatically to the CTL file. Before the application attempts to connect to CTIManager, the application downloads the CTL file from the TFTP server.
The first time that the JTAPI/TSP client downloads the CTL file from the TFTP server, the JTAPI/TSP client trusts the CTL file. Because the JTAPI/TSP client does not validate the CTL file, Cisco strongly recommends that the download occur in a secure environment. The JTAPI/TSP client verifies subsequent downloads of the CTL file; for example, after you update the CTL file, the JTAPI/TSP client uses the security tokens in the
CTL file to authenticate the digital signature of the new CTL file it downloads. Contents of the file include the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificates and CAPF server certificate.
If the CTL file appears compromised, the JTAPI/TSP client does not replace the downloaded CTL file; the client logs an error and attempts to establish a TLS connection by using an older certificate in the existing
CTL file. The connection may not succeed if the CTL file has changed or is compromised. If the CTL file download fails and more than one TFTP server exists, you can configure another TFTP server to download the file. The JTAPI/TAPI client does not connect to any port under the following circumstances:
• The client cannot download the CTL file for some reason; for example, no CTL file exists.
• The client does not have an existing CTL file.
• You configured the application user as a secure CTI user.
To authenticate with CTIManager, the application uses a certificate that the Certificate Authority Proxy
Function (CAPF) issues. To use TLS for every connection between the application and CTIManager, each instance that runs on the application PC must have a unique certificate. One certificate does not cover all instances. To ensure that the certificate installs on the node where Cisco IP Manager Assistant service is running, you configure a unique Instance ID for each Application User CAPF Profile Configuration or End
User CAPF Profile Configuration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, as described in
Table 23: Application and End User CAPF Profile Configuration Settings , on page 231
.
222
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Encryption for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
Tip
If you uninstall the application from one PC and install it on another PC, you must install a new certificate for each instance on the new PC.
You must also add the application users or the end users to the Standard CTI Secure Connection user group in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to enable TLS for the application. After you add the user to this group and install the certificate, the application ensures that the user connects via the TLS port.
Related Topics
Encryption for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
Tip
Authentication serves as the minimum requirement for encryption; that is, you cannot use encryption if you have not configured authentication.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, Cisco QRT, and Cisco Web Dialer do not support encryption. CTI clients that connect to the CTIManager service may support encryption if the client sends voice packets.
To secure the media streams between the application and CTIManager, add the application users or the end users to the Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP Key Material user group in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration. If these users also exist in the Standard CTI Secure Connection user group and if the cluster security mode equals Mixed Mode, CTIManager establishes a TLS connection with the application and provides the key materials to the application in a media event
Note
Cluster security mode configures the security capability for your standalone server or cluster.
Although applications do not record or store the SRTP key materials, the application uses the key materials to encrypt its RTP stream and decrypt the SRTP stream from CTIManager.
If the application connects to the nonsecure port, port 2748, for any reason, CTIManager does not send the keying material. If CTI/JTAPI/TAPI cannot monitor or control a device or directory number because you configured restrictions, CTIManager does not send the keying material.
Tip
For an application to receive SRTP session keys, the application or end user must exist in three groups:
Standard CTI Enabled, Standard CTI Secure Connection, and Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP
Key Material.
Although Cisco Unified Communications Manager can facilitate secure calls to and from CTI ports and route points, you must configure the application to support secure calls because the application handles the media parameters.
CTI ports/route points register through dynamic or static registration. If the port/route point uses dynamic registration, the media parameters get specified for each call; for static registration, media parameters get specified during registration and cannot change per call. When CTI ports/route points register to CTIManager
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
223
CAPF Functions for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
through a TLS connection, the device registers securely, and the media gets encrypted via SRTP if the application uses a valid encryption algorithm in the device registration request and if the other party is secure.
When the CTI application begins to monitor a call that is already established, the application does not receive any RTP events. For the established call, the CTI application provides a DeviceSnapshot event, which defines whether the media for the call is secure or nonsecure; this event provides no keying material.
CAPF Functions for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF), which automatically installs with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, performs the following tasks for CTI/TAPI/TAPI applications, depending on your configuration:
• Authenticates to the JTAPI/TSP client via an authentication string.
• Issues locally significant certificates (LSC) to CTI/JTAPI/TAPI application users or end users.
• Upgrades existing locally significant certificates.
• Retrieves certificates for viewing and troubleshooting.
When the JTAPI/TSP client interacts with CAPF, the client authenticates to CAPF by using an authentication string; the client then generates its public key and private key pair and forwards its public key to the CAPF server in a signed message. The private key remains in the client and never gets exposed externally. CAPF signs the certificate and then sends the certificate back to the client in a signed message.
You issue certificates to application users or end users by configuring the settings in the Application User
CAPF Profile Configuration window or End User CAPF Profile Configuration window, respectively. The following information describes the differences between the CAPF profiles that Cisco Unified Communications
Manager supports:
• Application User CAPF Profile—This profile allows you to issue locally significant certificates to secure application users so that a TLS connection opens between the CTIManager service and the application.
One Application User CAPF Profile corresponds to a single instance of the service or application on a server. If you activate multiple web services or applications on the same server, you must configure two
Application User CAPF Profiles, one for each service on the server.
If you activate a service or application on two servers in the cluster, you must configure two Application
User CAPF Profiles, one for each server.
• End User CAPF Profile—This profile allows you to issue locally significant certificates to CTI clients so that the CTI client communicates with the CTIManager service via a TLS connection.
Tip
The JTAPI client stores the LSC in Java Key Store format in the path that you configure in the JTAPI
Preferences window. The TSP client stores the LSC in an encrypted format in the default directory or in the path that you configure.
The following information applies when a communication or power failure occurs.
• If a communication failure occurs while the certificate installation is taking place, the JTAPI client attempts to obtain the certificate three more times in 30-second intervals. You cannot configure this value.
224
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
CAPF System Interactions and Requirements for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI Applications
For the TSP client, you can configure the retry attempts and the retry timer. Configure these values by specifying the number of times that the TSP client tries to obtain the certificate in an allotted time. For both values, the default equals 0. You can configure up to 3 retry attempts by specifying 1 (for one retry),
2, or 3. You can configure no more than 30 seconds for each retry attempt.
• If a power failure occurs while the JTAPI/TSP client attempts a session with CAPF, the client attempts to download the certificate after power gets restored.
CAPF System Interactions and Requirements for CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI
Applications
The following requirements exist for CAPF:
• Before you configure the Application User and End User CAPF Profiles, verify that you performed all necessary tasks to install and configure the Cisco CTL Client. Verify that the Cluster Security Mode in the Enterprise Parameters Configuration window is 1 (mixed mode).
• To use CAPF, you must activate the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function service on the first node.
• Because generating many certificates at the same time may cause call-processing interruptions, Cisco strongly recommends that you use CAPF during a scheduled maintenance window.
• Ensure that the first node is functional and running during the entire certificate operation.
• Ensure that the CTI/ JTAPI/TAPI application is functional during the entire certificate operation.
Securing CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI
The following procedure provides the tasks that you perform to secure the CTI/JTAPI/TAPI application.
Procedure
Step 1
Verify that the CTI application and any JTAPI/TSP plug-ins are installed and running.
Tip
Assign the application user to the Standard CTI Enabled group.
See the following documentation for more information:
• Computer Telephony Integration, System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager
• Cisco JTAPI Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager
• Cisco TAPI Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager
• Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Step 2
Verify that the following Cisco Unified Communications Manager security features are installed (if not installed, install and configure these features):
• Verify that you installed the CTL Client and the CTL file has run, so the CTL file is created.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
225
Add Application and End Users to Security-Related Users Groups
• Verify that you installed the CTL provider service and that the service is activated.
• Verify that you installed the CAPF service and that the service is activated. If necessary, update CAPF service parameters.
Tip
The CAPF service must run for the Cisco CTL Client to include the CAPF certificate in the CTL file. If you updated these parameters when you used CAPF for the phones, you do not need to update the parameters again.
• Verify that the cluster security mode is set to Mixed Mode. (Cluster security mode configures the security capability for your standalone server or cluster.)
Tip
The CTI/JTAPI/TAPI application cannot access the CTL file if the cluster security mode does not equal Mixed Mode.
See the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for more information.
Step 3
If you want CTIManager and the application to use a TLS connection, add the application user or end users to the Standard CTI Secure Connection user group.
Tip
A CTI application can be assigned to either an application user or an end user, but not both.
Step 4
If you want to use SRTP, add the application user or end user to the Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP
Key Material user group.
The user must already exist in the Standard CTI Enabled and Standard CTI Secure Connection user group.
The application or end user cannot receive SRTP session keys if it does not exist in these three groups. For more information, see topics related to role configuration in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager .
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, Cisco QRT, and Cisco Web Dialer do not support encryption. CTI clients that connect to the CTIManager service may support encryption if the client sends voice packets.
Step 5
Configure the Application User CAPF Profile or End User CAPF Profile in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration.
Step 6
Enable the corresponding security-related parameters in the CTI/JTAPI/TAPI application.

Add Application and End Users to Security-Related Users Groups
The Standard CTI Secure Connection user group and the Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP Key Material user group display in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration by default. You cannot delete these groups.
To secure the user connection to CTIManager, you must add the application user or end users to the Standard
CTI Secure Connection user group. You can assign a CTI application to either an application user or an end user, but not both.
226
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Add Application and End Users to Security-Related Users Groups
If you want the application and CTIManager to secure the media streams, you must add the application user or end users to the Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP Key Material user group.
Before the application and end user can use SRTP, the user must exist in the Standard CTI Enabled and
Standard CTI Secure Connection user groups, which serve as a baseline configuration for TLS. SRTP connections require TLS. After the user exists in these groups, you can add the user to the Standard CTI Allow
Reception of SRTP Key Material user group. For an application to receive SRTP session keys, the application or end user must exist in three groups: Standard CTI Enabled, Standard CTI Secure Connection, and Standard
CTI Allow Reception of SRTP Key Material.
Because Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, Cisco QRT, and Cisco Web Dialer do not support encryption, you do not need to add the application users, CCMQRTSecureSysUser, IPMASecureSysUser, and the WDSecureSysUser, to the Standard CTI Allow Reception of SRTP Key Material user group.
Tip
For information on deleting an application or end user from a user group, refer to the Administration Guide
for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For information about security-related settings in the Role
Configuration window, refer to the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Certificate Authority Proxy Function Service Activation
Certificate Authority Proxy Function Service Activation
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not automatically activate the Certificate Authority Proxy
Function service in Cisco Unified Serviceability.
To use the CAPF functionality, you must activate this service on the first node.
If you did not activate this service before you installed and configured the Cisco CTL Client, you must update the CTL file.
After you activate the Cisco Certificate Authority Proxy Function service, CAPF automatically generates a key pair and certificate that is specific for CAPF. The CAPF certificate, which the Cisco CTL Client copies to your standalone server or all server(s) in the cluster, uses the .0 extension. To verify that the CAPF certificate exists, display the CAPF certificate at the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System GUI.
Related Topics
Update CAPF Service Parameters
The CAPF Service Parameter window provides information on the number of years that the certificate is valid, the maximum number of times that the system retries to generate the key, and so on

Certificate Revocation/Expiry Status Verification
This chapter provides a brief overview of how to check the status of the certificates generated for sessions in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. The certificate service periodically checks for long lived sessions between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other services. Long lived sessions have duration of six hours or more. The check is performed for the following long lived sessions:
• CTI Connections with JTAPI /TAPI applications.
• LDAP Connection between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and SunOne servers.
• IPSec Connections
It also describes how to configure the enterprise parameter for verifying certificate revocation and expiry.
The enterprise parameter Certificate Revocation and Expiry allows you to control the certificate validation checks. The revocation and expiry check parameter is enabled on the Enterprise Parameter page of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. The certificate expiry for the long lived sessions is not verified, when the enterprise parameter value is disabled.
The certificate revocation service is active for LDAP and IPSec connections, when the Enable Revocation is selected on the Operating System Administration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and revocation and expiry check parameter is set to enabled. The periodicity of the check for IPSec connections are based on the Check Every value. The revocation check for the certificate is not performed, if the Enable Revocation check box is unchecked.

Support for Delegated Trust Model in OCSP Response
Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) allows a device to obtain real-time information about the status of a given certificate. Examples of certificate status are Good, Revoked, and Unknown.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses OCSP to validate third-party certificates that are uploaded into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager trust store. Cisco Unified Communications Manager requires an OCSP Responder URL to connect to the OCSP responder server over HTTP. It sends an HTTP request to the responder to validate a certificate.
236
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
Support for Delegated Trust Model in OCSP Response
Cisco Unified Communications Manager currently supports the Trusted Responder Model of OCSP, where the OCSP response is signed by a self-signed certificate of the OCSP server. This self-signed certificate is uploaded to the trust store before initiating an OCSP request. This certificate is used to verify the signature on the OCSP response.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.0 and later support the Delegated Trust Model (DTM) of the
OCSP responder, where the OCSP responses are no longer approved by the self-signed certificate but are issued by a Certificate Authority (Root CA or Subordinate CA). The CA certificate validates the OCSP responder certificates. The CA certificate that issued the OCSP responder certificate in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager trust store is required, instead of OCSP response signing certificate. When you receive an OCSP response, the CA's certificate is used to validate the signature in the response.
Note
In case of a DTM execution failure, the OCSP response is verified using the self-signed certificate.

Securing SRST
A SRST-enabled gateway provides limited call-processing tasks if the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cannot complete the call.
Secure SRST-enabled gateways contain a self-signed certificate. After you perform SRST configuration tasks in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a
TLS connection to authenticate with the Certificate Provider service in the SRST-enabled gateway. Cisco
Unified Communications Manager then retrieves the certificate from the SRST-enabled gateway and adds the certificate to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
After you reset the dependent devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, the TFTP server adds the SRST-enabled gateway certificate to the phone cnf.xml file and sends the file to the phone.
A secure phone then uses a TLS connection to interact with the SRST-enabled gateway.
Tip
The phone configuration file only contains a certificate from a single issuer. Consequently, the system does not support HSRP.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
241
Securing SRST Tips
Securing SRST Tips
Ensure that the following criteria are met to secure the connection between the secure phone and the
SRST-enabled gateway:
• The SRST reference contains a self-signed certificate.
• You configured Mixed Mode through the Cisco CTL Client.
• You configured the phone for authentication or encryption.
• You configured the SRST reference in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
• You reset the SRST-enabled gateway and the dependent phones after the SRST configuration.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides the PEM format files that contain phone certificate information to the SRST-enabled gateway.
Note
For LSC authentication, download the CAPF root certificate (CAPF.der). This root certificate allows the secure SRST to verify the phone LSC during the TLS handshake.
• When the cluster security mode equals nonsecure, the device security mode remains nonsecure in the phone configuration file, even though Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration may indicate that the device security mode is authenticated or encrypted. Under these circumstances, the phone attempts nonsecure connections with the SRST-enabled gateway and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Note
Cluster security mode configures the security capability for your standalone server or a cluster.
• When the cluster security mode equals nonsecure, the system ignores the security-related configuration; for example, the device security mode, the Is SRST Secure? check box, and so on. The configuration does not get deleted in from the database, but security is not provided.
• The phone attempts a secure connection to the SRST-enabled gateway only when the cluster security mode equals Mixed Mode, the device security mode in the phone configuration file is set to authenticated or encrypted, the Is SRST Secure? check box is checked in the SRST Configuration window, and a valid SRST-enabled gateway certificate exists in the phone configuration file.
• If you configured secure SRST references in a previous Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, the configuration automatically migrates during the upgrade.
• If phones in encrypted or authenticated mode fail over to SRST, and, during the connection with SRST, the cluster security mode switches from Mixed Mode to Nonsecure Mode, these phones will not fall back to Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically. You must power down the SRST router to force these phones to reregister to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. After phones fall back

Cisco IOS MGCP Gateway Encryption
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports gateways that use the MGCP SRTP package, which the gateway uses to encrypt and decrypt packets over a secure RTP connection. The information that gets exchanged during call setup determines whether the gateway uses SRTP for a call. If the devices support SRTP, the system uses a SRTP connection. If at least one device does not support SRTP, the system uses a RTP connection.
SRTP-to-RTP fallback (and vice versa) may occur for transfers from a secure device to a non-secure device, conferencing, transcoding, music on hold, and so on.
When the system sets up an encrypted SRTP call between two devices, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager generates a master encryption key and salt for secure calls and sends them to the gateway for the
SRTP stream only. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not send the key and salt for SRTCP streams, which the gateway also supports. These keys get sent to the gateway over the MGCP signaling path, which you should secure by using IPSec. Although Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize whether an IPSec connection exists, the system sends the session keys to the gateway in the clear if IPSec is not configured. Confirm that the IPSec connection exists, so the session keys get sent through a secure connection.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
247
H.323 Gateway and H.323/H.225/H.245 Trunk Encryption
Tip
If the MGCP gateway, which is configured for SRTP, is involved in a call with an authenticated device, for example, an authenticated phone that is running SCCP, a shield icon displays on the phone because
Cisco Unified Communications Manager classifies the call as authenticated. Cisco Unified Communications
Manager classifies a call as encrypted if the SRTP capabilities for the devices are successfully negotiated for the call. If the MGCP gateway is connected to a phone that can display security icons, the phone displays the lock icon when the call is encrypted.
H.323 Gateway and H.323/H.225/H.245 Trunk Encryption
H.323 gateways and gatekeeper or non-gatekeeper controlled H.225/H.323/H.245 trunks that support security can authenticate to Cisco Unified Communications Manager if you configure an IPSec association in the
Cisco Unified Communications Operating System. For information on creating an IPSec association between
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and these devices, refer to the Administration Guide for Cisco
Unified Communications Manager .
The H.323, H.225, and H.245 devices generate the encryption keys. These keys get sent to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager through the signaling path, which you secure through IPSec. Although Cisco
Unified Communications Manager does not recognize whether an IPSec connection exists, the session keys get sent in the clear if IPSec is not configured. Confirm that the IPSec connection exists, so the session keys get sent through a secure connection.
In addition to configuring an IPSec association, you must check the SRTP Allowed check box in the device configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration; for example, the H.323
Gateway, the H.225 Trunk (Gatekeeper Controlled), the Inter-Cluster Trunk (Gatekeeper Controlled), and the Inter-Cluster Trunk (Non-Gatekeeper Controlled) configuration windows. If you do not check this check box, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses RTP to communicate with the device. If you check the check box, Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows secure and nonsecure calls to occur, depending on whether SRTP is configured for the device.
Caution
If you check the SRTP Allowed check box in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,
Cisco strongly recommends that you configure IPSec, so security-related information does not get sent in the clear.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not confirm that you configured the IPSec connection correctly. If you do not configure the connection correctly, security-related information may get sent in the clear.
If the system can establish a secure media or signaling path and if the devices support SRTP, the system uses a SRTP connection. If the system cannot establish a secure media or signaling path or if at least one device does not support SRTP, the system uses a RTP connection. SRTP-to-RTP fallback (and vice versa) may occur for transfers from a secure device to a non-secure device, conferencing, transcoding, music on hold, and so on.
248
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
SIP Trunk Encryption
Tip
If the call uses pass-through capable MTP, if the audio capabilities for the device match after region filtering, and if the MTP Required check box is not checked for any device, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager classifies the call as secure. If the MTP Required check box is checked, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager disables audio pass-through for the call and classifies the call as nonsecure. If no MTP is involved in the call, Cisco Unified Communications Manager may classify the call as encrypted, depending on the SRTP capabilities of the devices.
For SRTP-configured devices, Cisco Unified Communications Manager classifies a call as encrypted if the SRTP Allowed check box is checked for the device and if the SRTP capabilities for the devices are successfully negotiated for the call. If the preceding criteria are not met, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager classifies the call as nonsecure. If the device is connected to a phone that can display security icons, the phone displays the lock icon when the call is encrypted.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager classifies outbound faststart calls over a trunk or gateway as nonsecure. If you check the SRTP Allowed check box in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, Cisco Unified Communications Manager disables the Enable Outbound FastStart check box.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows some types of gateways and trunks to transparently pass through the shared secret (Diffie-Hellman key) and other H.235 data between two H.235 endpoints, so the two endpoints can establish a secure media channel.
To enable the passing through of H.235 data, check the H.235 pass through allowed check box in the configuration settings of the following trunks and gateways:
• H.225 Trunk
• ICT Gatekeeper Control
• ICT non-Gatekeeper Control
• H.323 Gateway
For information about configuring trunks and gateways, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager .
SIP Trunk Encryption
SIP trunks can support secure calls both for signaling as well as media; TLS provides signaling encryption and SRTP provides media encryption.
To configure signaling encryption for the trunk, choose the following options when you configure the SIP trunk security profile (in the System > Security Profile > SIP Trunk Security Profile window):
• From the Device Security Mode drop-down list, choose “Encrypted.”
• From the Incoming Transport Type drop-down list, choose “TLS.”
• From the Outgoing Transport Type drop-down list, choose “TLS.”
After you configure the SIP trunk security profile, apply it to the trunk (in the Device > Trunk > SIP Trunk configuration window).
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
249
Set Up Secure Gateways and Trunks
To configure media encryption for the trunk, check the SRTP Allowed check box (also in the DeviceTrunkSIP
Trunk configuration window).
Caution
If you check this check box, Cisco strongly recommends that you use an encrypted TLS profile, so that keys and other security-related information do not get exposed during call negotiations. If you use a nonsecure profile, SRTP will still work but the keys will be exposed in signaling and traces. In that case, you must ensure the security of the network between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the destination side of the trunk.
Related Topics
Set Up Secure Gateways and Trunks
Use this procedure in conjunction with the document, Media and Signaling Authentication and Encryption
Feature for Cisco IOS MGCP Gateways, which provides information on how to configure your Cisco IOS

Mixed Mode.
Step 2
Verify that you configured the phones for encryption.
Step 3
Configure IPSec.
Tip
You may configure IPSec in the network infrastructure, or you may configure IPSec between Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and the gateway or trunk. If you implement one method to set up
IPSec, you do not need to implement the other method.
Step 4
For H.323 IOS gateways and intercluster trunks, check the SRTP Allowed check box in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration.
The SRTP Allowed check box displays in the Trunk Configuration or Gateway Configuration window. For information on how to display these windows, refer to the trunk and gateway chapters in the Administration
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .
Step 5
For SIP trunks, configure the SIP trunk security profile and apply it to the trunk(s), if you have not already done so. Also, be sure to check the “SRTP Allowed” check box in the Device > Trunk > SIP Trunk configuration window.
Caution
If you check the “SRTP Allowed” check box, Cisco strongly recommends that you use an encrypted
TLS profile, so that keys and other security-related information does not get exposed during call negotiations. If you use a non-secure profile, SRTP will still work but the keys will be exposed in signaling and traces. In that case, you must ensure the security of the network between Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and the destination side of the trunk.
Step 6
Perform security-related configuration tasks on the gateway.

IPSec Setup Within Network Infrastructures
This document does not describe how to configure IPSec. Instead, it provides considerations and recommendations for configuring IPSec in your network infrastructure. If you plan to configure IPSec in the network infrastructure and not between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the device, review the following information before you configure IPSec:
• Cisco recommends that you provision IPSec in the infrastructure rather than in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager itself.
• Before you configure IPSec, consider existing IPSec or VPN connections, platform CPU impact, bandwidth implications, jitter or latency, and other performance metrics.
• Review the Voice and Video Enabled IPSec Virtual Private Networks Solution Reference Network Design
Guide.
• Review the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide, Release 12.2 (or later).
• Terminate the remote end of the IPSec connection in the secure Cisco IOS MGCP gateway.
• Terminate the host end in a network device within the trusted sphere of the network where the telephony servers exist; for example, behind a firewall, access control list (ACL), or other layer three device.
• The equipment that you use to terminate the host-end IPSec connections depends on the number of gateways and the anticipated call volume to those gateways; for example, you could use Cisco VPN
3000 Series Concentrators, Catalyst 6500 IPSec VPN Services Module, or Cisco Integrated Services
Routers.
• Perform the steps in the order that is specified in the topics related to setting up secure gateways and trunks.
Caution
Failing to configure the IPSEC connections and verify that the connections are active may compromise privacy of the media streams.

H.323/H.245/H.225 trunks or SIP trunks, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Find the gateway or trunk, as described in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager .
Step 2
After you open the configuration window for the gateway/trunk, check the SRTP Allowed check box.
Caution
If you check the “SRTP Allowed” check box for a SIP trunk, Cisco strongly recommends that you use an encrypted TLS profile, so keys and other security-related information are not exposed during call negotiations. If you use a non-secure profile, SRTP will still work but the keys will be exposed in signaling and traces. In that case, you must ensure the security of the network between Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and the destination side of the trunk.
Step 3
Click Save.
Step 4
To reset the device, click Reset.
Step 5
Verify that you configured IPSec correctly for H323. (For SIP, make sure you configured TLS correctly.)

About SIP Trunk Security Profile Setup
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration groups security-related settings for the SIP trunk to allow you to assign a single security profile to multiple SIP trunks. Security-related settings include device security mode, digest authentication, and incoming/outgoing transport type settings. You apply the configured settings to the SIP trunk when you choose the security profile in the Trunk Configuration window.
Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides a predefined, nonsecure SIP trunk security profile for autoregistration. To enable security features for a SIP trunk, configure a new security profile and apply it to the SIP trunk. If the trunk does not support security, choose a nonsecure profile.
Only security features that the SIP trunk supports display in the security profile settings window.
SIP Trunk Security Profile Setup Tips
Consider the following information when you configure SIP trunk security profiles in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration:
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
255
Find SIP Trunk Security Profile
• When you are configuring a SIP trunk, you must select a security profile in the Trunk Configuration window. If the device does not support security, apply a nonsecure profile.
• You cannot delete a security profile that is currently assigned to a device.
• If you change the settings in a security profile that is already assigned to a SIP trunk, the reconfigured settings apply to all SIP trunks that are assigned that profile.
• You can rename security files that are assigned to devices. The SIP trunks that are assigned the old profile name and settings assume the new profile name and settings.
• If you configured the device security mode prior to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0 or later upgrade, Cisco Unified Communications Manager creates a profile for the SIP trunk and applies the profile to the device.
Find SIP Trunk Security Profile
To find a SIP trunk security profile, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Choose System > Security Profile > SIP Trunk Security Profile.
The Find and List window displays. Records from an active (prior) query may also display in the window.

Setting
Name
Description
Device Security Mode
Description
Enter a name for the security profile. When you save the new profile, the name displays in the SIP Trunk Security Profile drop-down list box in the
Trunk Configuration window.
Enter a description for the security profile. The description can include up to
50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes ("), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), back-slash (\), or angle brackets (<>).
From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:
• Non Secure—No security features except image authentication apply.
A TCP or UDP connection opens to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
• Authenticated—Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides integrity and authentication for the trunk. A TLS connection that uses
NULL/SHA opens.
• Encrypted—Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides integrity, authentication, and signaling encryption for the trunk. A TLS connection that uses AES128/SHA opens for signaling.
Incoming Transport Type
Outgoing Transport Type
When Device Security Mode is Non Secure, TCP+UDP specifies the transport type.
When Device Security Mode is Authenticated or Encrypted, TLS specifies the transport type.
Note
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol secures the connection between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the trunk.
From the drop-down list box, choose the outgoing transport mode.
When Device Security Mode is Non Secure, choose TCP or UDP.
When Device Security Mode is Authenticated or Encrypted, TLS specifies the transport type.
Note
Tip
TLS ensures signaling integrity, device authentication, and signaling encryption for SIP trunks.
You must use UDP as the outgoing transport type when connecting
SIP trunks between Cisco Unified Communications Manager systems and IOS gateways that do not support TCP connection reuse.
258
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
SIP Trunk Security Profile Settings
Setting Description
Enable Digest Authentication Check this check box to enable digest authentication. If you check this check box, Cisco Unified Communications Manager challenges all SIP requests from the trunk.
Digest authentication does not provide device authentication, integrity or confidentiality. Choose a security mode of Authenticated or Encrypted to use these features.
Tip
Use digest authentication to authenticate SIP trunk users on trunks that are using TCP or UDP transport.
Nonce Validity Time
X.509 Subject Name
Incoming Port
Enter the number of minutes (in seconds) that the nonce value is valid. The default value equals 600 (10 minutes). When the time expires, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager generates a new value.
Note
A nonce value, a random number that supports digest authentication, gets used to calculate the MD5 hash of the digest authentication password.
This field applies if you configured TLS for the incoming and outgoing transport type.
For device authentication, enter the subject name of the X.509 certificate for the SIP trunk device. If you have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster or if you use SRV lookup for the TLS peer, a single trunk may resolve to multiple hosts, which results in multiple X.509 subject names for the trunk.
If multiple X.509 subject names exist, enter one of the following characters to separate the names: space, comma, semicolon, or a colon.
You can enter up to 4096 characters in this field.
Tip
The subject name corresponds to the source connection TLS certificate.
Ensure subject names are unique for each subject name and port. You cannot assign the same subject name and incoming port combination to different SIP trunks.Example: SIP TLS trunk1 on port 5061 has
X.509 Subject Names my_cm1, my_cm2. SIP TLS trunk2 on port
5071 has X.509 Subject Names my_cm2, my_cm3. SIP TLS trunk3 on port 5061 can have X.509 Subject Name my_ccm4 but cannot have
X.509 Subject Name my_cm1.
Choose the incoming port. Enter a value that is a unique port number from
0-65535. The default port value for incoming TCP and UDP SIP messages specifies 5060. The default SIP secured port for incoming TLS messages specifies 5061. The value that you enter applies to all SIP trunks that use the profile.
Tip
All SIP trunks that use TLS can share the same incoming port; all SIP trunks that use TCP + UDP can share the same incoming port. You cannot mix SIP TLS transport trunks with SIP non-TLS transport trunk types on the same port.

SIP Trunk Security Profile Settings
Setting
Enable Application Level
Authorization
Description
Application-level authorization applies to applications that are connected through the SIP trunk.
If you check this check box, you must also check the Enable Digest
Authentication check box and configure digest authentication for the trunk.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager authenticates a SIP application user before checking the allowed application methods.
When application level authorization is enabled, trunk-level authorization occurs first, and application-level authorization then occurs, which means that Cisco Unified Communications Manager checks the methods that are authorized for the trunk (in this security profile) before the methods that are authorized for the SIP application user in the Application User Configuration window.
Tip
Consider using application-level authorization if you do not trust the identity of the application or if the application is not trusted on a particular trunk; that is, application requests may come from a different trunk than you expect.
Accept Presence Subscription If you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accept presence subscription requests that come via the SIP trunk, check this check box.
If you checked the Enable Application Level Authorization check box, go to the Application User Configuration window and check the Accept
Presence Subscription check box for any application users that are authorized for this feature.
When application-level authorization is enabled, if you check the Accept
Presence Subscription check box for the application user but not for the trunk, a 403 error message gets sent to the SIP user agent that is connected to the trunk.
Accept Out-of-Dialog Refer If you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accept incoming non-INVITE, Out-of-Dialog REFER requests that come via the SIP trunk, check this check box.
If you checked the Enable Application Level Authorization check box, go to the Application User Configuration window and check the Accept
Out-of-Dialog Refer check box for any application users that are authorized for this method.
Accept Unsolicited
Notification
If you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accept incoming non-INVITE, unsolicited notification messages that come via the SIP trunk, check this check box.
If you checked the Enable Application Level Authorization check box, go to the Application User Configuration window and check the Accept
Unsolicited Notification check box for any application users that are authorized for this method.

FIPS 140-2 Mode Setup
This chapter provides information about FIPS 140-2 mode setup.
•
•
FIPS Mode Restrictions, page 287
FIPS 140-2 Setup
Caution
FIPS mode is only supported on releases that have been through FIPS compliance. Be warned that FIPS mode should be disabled before you upgrade to a non-FIPS compliance version of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
For information about which releases are FIPS compliant and to view their certifications, see the FIPS
140 document at http://www.cisco.com/web/strategy/government/security_certification/net_business_ benefit_seccert_fips140.html
.
FIPS, or Federal Information Processing Standard, is a U.S. and Canadian government certification standard that defines requirements that cryptographic modules must follow.
Certain versions of Unified Communications Manager are FIPS 140-2 compliant, in accordance with the U.S.
National Institute of Standards (NIST), and can operate in FIPS mode, level 1 compliance.
When you enable FIPS 140-2 mode, Unified Communications Manager reboots, runs certification self-tests at startup, performs the cryptographic modules integrity check, and then regenerates the keying materials. At this point, Unified Communications Manager operates in FIPS 140-2 mode.
FIPS requirements include the following: performance of startup self-tests and restriction to a list of approved cryptographic functions.
FIPS mode uses the following FIPS 140-2 level 1 validated cryptographic modules:
• Openssl 0.9.8l with FIPS Module 1.2
• RSA CryptoJ 4.1
• Red Hat Openssl
• Libreswan
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
279
FIPS 140-2 Setup
• NSS
You can perform the following FIPS-related tasks:
• Enable FIPS 140-2 mode
• Disable FIPS 140-2 mode
• Check the status of FIPS 140-2 mode
Note
By default, your system is in non-FIPS mode. You must enable FIPS mode.
Openswan to Libreswan Migration for IPsec
With this release, the Openswan library support is replaced with Libreswan library support for IPsec. This support has no changes to the existing functionality.
For the certificate-based authentication to function with the Libreswan library, the certificates of both the source and destination must be CA-signed certificates. In addition, same certificate authority (CA) must sign these certificates. The migration to the Libreswan library has the following limitations:
• If you are using certificate-based authentication and using self-signed certificates for setting up IPsec,
IPsec stops working.
• If you are using certificate-based authentication and using CA-signed certificates signed with different
CAs for source and destination for setting up IPsec, IPsec stops working.
Note
The Blowfish448, MD5, and RIJNDAEL algorithms are no longer supported for IPsec configurations.
After upgrade and switch over, Blowfish448 and RIJNDAEL are upgraded to AES 128, and MD5 is upgraded to SHA256. IPsec connection fails if algorithms are not same between peers.
Enable FIPS 140-2 Mode
You can enable FIPS 140-2 through the CLI. For more information, see the Command Line Interface Reference
Guide for Cisco Unifed Communications Solutions.
Consider the following information before you enable FIPS 140-2 mode on Unified CM:
• When you switch from non-FIPS to FIPS mode, the MD5 and DES protocols will not be functional.
• In single server clusters, because certificates are regenerated, you need to run the CTL Client or apply the Prepare Cluster for Rollback to pre-8.0 enterprise parameter before you enable FIPS mode. If you do not perform either of these steps, you must manually delete the ITL file after you enable FIPS mode.
• After you enable FIPS mode on a server, please wait until the server reboots and the phones re-register successfully before enabling FIPS on the next server.
280
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
FIPS 140-2 Setup
Caution
Before you enable FIPS mode, we strongly recommend that you perform a system backup. If FIPS checks fail at start-up, the system halts and requires a recovery CD to be restored.
Procedure
Step 1
Start a CLI session.
For more information, see “Start CLI Session” in the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco
Unifed Communications Solutions.
Step 2
In the CLI, enter utils fips enable
The following prompts appear:
Security Warning: The operation will regenerate certificates for1)
CallManager
2)Tomcat
3)IPsec
4)TVS
5)CAPF
6)SSH
Any third party CA signed certificates that have been uploaded for the above components will need to be re-uploaded. If the system is operating in mixed mode, then the CTL client needs to be run again to update the CTL file.
******************************************************************************
This will change the system to FIPS mode and will reboot.
******************************************************************************
Do you want to continue (yes/no)?
Step 3
Enter yes.
The following message appears:
Generating certificates...Setting FIPS mode in operating system.
FIPS mode enabled successfully.
********************************************************
It is highly recommended that after your system restarts that a system backup is performed.
********************************************************
The system will reboot in a few minutes.
Unified CM reboots automatically.
Note
Certificates and SSH key are regenerated automatically, in accordance with FIPS requirements.
Note
If you have a single server cluster and applied the Prepare Cluster for Rollback to pre 8.0 enterprise parameter before you enabled FIPS 140-2 mode, you must disable this enterprise parameter after making sure that all the phones registered successfully to the server.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
281
FIPS 140-2 Setup
Note
In FIPS mode, Unified CM uses Libreswan (FIPS validated) in place of Racoon (non-FIPS validated).
If the security policies in Racoon contain functions that are not FIPS approved, the CLI command will ask you to redefine the security policies with FIPS approved functions and abort. For more information, see topics related to IPsec Management in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Disable FIPS 140-2 Mode
FIPS 140-2 is disabled through the CLI. For more information, see the Command Line Interface Reference
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
Consider the following information before you disable FIPS 140-2 mode on Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (Unified CM):
• In single or multiple server clusters, we strongly recommend that you run the CTL Client. If the CTL
Client is not run on a single server cluster, you must manually delete the ITL File after disabling FIPS mode.
• In multiple server clusters, each server must be disabled separately, because FIPS mode is not disabled cluster-wide but rather on a per-server basis.
To disable FIPS 140-2 mode, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Start a CLI Session.
For more information, see the Starting a CLI Session section in the Command Line Interface Reference Guide
for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
Step 2
In the CLI, enter utils fips disable
Unified CM reboots and is restored to non-FIPS mode.
Note
Certificates and SSH key are regenerated automatically, in accordance with FIPS requirements.
Check FIPS 140-2 Mode Status
To confirm that FIPS 140-2 mode is enabled, check the mode status from the CLI.
To check the status of FIPS 140-2 mode, perform the following procedure:
Procedure
Step 1
Start a CLI Session.
For more information, see the Starting a CLI Session section in the Command Line Interface Reference Guide
for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
Step 2
In the CLI, enter utils fips status
282
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
FIPS 140-2 Setup
The following message appears to confirm that FIPS 140-2 mode is enabled.

NSS self tests passed.
Kernel Crypto tests passed.
Operating System OpenSSL self tests passed.
Libreswan self tests passed.
OpenSSL self tests passed.
CryptoJ self tests passed...
FIPS 140-2 Mode Server Reboot
When a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) server reboots in FIPS 140-2 mode, it triggers
FIPS startup self-tests in each of the FIPS 140-2 modules after rebooting.
Caution
If any of these self-tests fail, the Unified CM server halts.
Note
A Unified CM server is automatically rebooted when FIPS is enabled or disabled with the corresponding
CLI command. A user can also initiate a reboot.
Caution
If the startup self-test failed because of a transient error, restarting the Unified CM server fixes the issue.
However, if the startup self-test error persists, it indicates a critical problem in the FIPS module and the only option is to use a recovery CD.
Enhanced Security Mode
Enhanced Security Mode runs on a FIPS-enabled system. Both Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service can be enabled to operate in Enhanced Security Mode, which enables the system with the following security and risk management controls:
• Stricter credential policy is implemented for user passwords and password changes.
• Contact search authentication feature becomes enabled by default.
• If the protocol for remote audit logging is set to TCP or UDP, the default protocol is changed to TCP.
If the protocol for remote audit logging is set to TLS, the default protocol remains TLS. In Common
Criteria Mode, strict host name verification is implemented. Hence, it is required to configure the server with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) which matches the certificate.
Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)
283
FIPS 140-2 Setup
Credential Policy Updates
When Enhanced Security Mode is enabled, a stricter credential policy takes effect for new user passwords and password changes. After Enhanced Security Mode is enabled, administrators can use the set password
*** series of CLI commands to modify any of these requirements:
• Password Length should be between 14 to 127 characters.
• Password should have at least 1 lowercase, 1 uppercase, 1 digit and 1 special character.
• Any of the previous 24 passwords cannot be reused.
• Minimum age of the password is 1 day and Maximum age of the password is 60 days.
• Any newly generated password's character sequence will need to differ by at least 4 characters from the old password's character sequence.
Configure Enhanced Security Mode
Use this procedure on all Cisco Unified Communications Manager or IM and Presence Service cluster nodes to configure Enhanced Security Mode.
Before You Begin
Enable FIPS before you enable Enhanced Security Mode.
Procedure
Step 1
Log in to the Command Line Interface.
Step 2
Run the utils EnhancedSecurityMode status command to confirm whether Enhanced Security Mode is enabled.
Step 3

Common Criteria mode.
Before You Begin
• FIPS mode must be running to enable Common Criteria mode. If FIPS isn't already enabled, you will be prompted to enable it when you try to enable Common Criteria mode. Be advised that enabling FIPS does require certificate regeneration.
• X.509 v3 certificates are required in Common Criteria mode. X.509 v3 certificates enable secure connections when using TLS 1.2 as a communication protocol for the following:
• Remote audit logging
• Establishing connection between the FileBeat client and the logstash server.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Command or Action
Configure Common Criteria Mode,
on page 286
Purpose
TLS is a prerequisite for configuring Common Criteria mode.
Configure Common Criteria mode on all Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and IM and Presence cluster nodes.
Enable TLS
TLS 1.2 version or TLS version 1.1 is a requirement for Common Criteria mode. Secure connections using
TLS version 1.0 are not permitted after enabling Common Criteria mode. To support TLS version 1.2:
Before You Begin
• During establishment of a TLS connection, the extendedKeyUsage extension of the peer certificate is checked for proper values.
• The peer certificate should have serverAuth as extendedKeyUsage extension if the peer is a server.
• The peer certificate should have clientAuth as extendedKeyUsage extension if the peer is a client.
If the extendedKeyUsage extension does not exist in the peer certificate or is not set properly, the connection is closed.

Configure V.150 Task Flow, page 290
V.150 Overview
The V.150 Minimum Essential Requirements feature allows you to make secure calls in a modem over IP network. The feature uses a dialup modem for large installed bases of modems and telephony devices operating on a traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN). The V.150.1 recommendation specifically defines how to relay data from modems and telephony devices on a PSTN into and out of an IP network through a modem. The V.150.1 is an ITU-T recommendation for using a modem over IP networks that support dialup modem calls.
The Cisco V.150.1 Minimum Essential Requirements feature complies with the requirements of the National
Security Agency (NSA) SCIP-216 Minimum Essential Requirements (MER) for V.150.1 recommendation.
The SCIP-216 recommendation has simplified the existing V.150.1 requirements.
Cisco V.150.1 MER feature supports the following interfaces:
• Media Gateway Control Protocol(MGCP) T1(PRI and CAS) and E1(PRI) trunks
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks
• Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) for analog gateway endpoints
• Secure Communication Interoperability Protocol-End Instruments (SCIP-EI)
Prerequisites for Cisco V.150.1 MER
