(Preview) MRA support for new endpoints
Mobile and Remote Access is extended in this release to include support for the Cisco DX Series endpoints,
and the 8800 Series and 7800 Series IP phones, registering to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Some features on the IP phones, particularly where they rely on DTMF/KPML pass-through, are not available

Single sign-on over MRA
Use this feature to enable single sign-on for endpoints accessing Unified Communications services from
outside the network. Single sign-on over the edge relies on the secure traversal capabilities of the
Expressway pair at the edge, and trust relationships between the internal service providers and the externally
resolvable identity provider (IdP).

Expressway pair at the edge, and trust relationships between the internal service providers and the externally
resolvable identity provider (IdP).
The endpoints do not need to connect via VPN; they use one identity and one authentication mechanism to
access multiple Unified Communications services. Authentication is owned by the IdP, and there is no
authentication at the Expressway, nor at the internal Unified CM services.

How it works
Cisco Jabber determines whether it is inside the organization's network before it requests a Unified
Communications service. If it is outside the network, then it requests the service from the Expressway-E on
