Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway
XMPP Federation through IM and Presence
Service
Service
This integration enables IM and Presence Service users in one enterprise domain to exchange presence information
and Instant Messaging (IM) with users in external domains.
and Instant Messaging (IM) with users in external domains.
Supported Systems
IM and Presence Service, Release 9.1.1 or later, supports XMPP federation with the following enterprises:
■
Cisco WebEx Messenger Release 7.x.
■
IBM Sametime Release 8.2 and 8.5.
■
Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x.
■
IM and Presence Service Release 9.x or later.
■
Any other server that is XMPP-standards compliant.
Note:
IM and Presence Service does not support XMPP federation between IM and Presence Service Release 9.x
enterprise and a Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x enterprise.
Note:
If you wish to enable XMPP federation with an external domain, ensure that the external domain was not
previously configured as a SIP federated domain on Cisco Unified Presence.
Example:
A Cisco Unified Presence deployment with example.com was historically configured as a SIP-based
federation. But example.com has now added XMPP support, so the local administrator instead wishes to enable an
XMPP-based federation. To allow this, the local administrator must first delete example.com as a SIP-federated
domain on Cisco Unified Presence.

When IM and Presence Service is federating with WebEx Enterprise, it is not possible for WebEx Connect client users
to invite IM and Presence Service users to temporary or persistent chat rooms. This is due to a design constraint on
the WebEx Connect client.

To allow the IM and Presence Service to federate over XMPP, you must enable and configure XMPP federation on IM
and Presence Service, following the procedures described in this guide.

If you have multiple IM and Presence Service clusters, you must enable and configure XMPP federation on at least
one node per cluster. The XMPP federation configuration must be identical across clusters. The Diagnostics
Troubleshooter compares the XMPP federation configuration across clusters, and reports if the XMPP federation
configuration is not identical across clusters.

Intercluster and Multinode Deployments
Note:
Any configuration procedures related to intercluster IM and Presence Service deployments can also be applied
to multinode IM and Presence Service deployments.
