Add the details of a Unified CM publisher node:
a.
Click New.
b.
Enter the Unified CM publisher address.
You must enter an FQDN when TLS verify mode is On.
c.
Enter the Username and Password of an account that can access this server.
Note:
These credentials are stored permanently in the VCS database. The corresponding Unified CM user
must have the Standard AXL API Access role.
d.
[Recommended] Leave TLS verify mode switched On to ensure VCS verifies the node's certificates.
The Unified CM node presents its tomcat certificate for AXL and UDS queries, and its CallManager
certificate for subsequent SIP traffic. If the Unified CM server is using self-signed certificates, the VCS
Control's trusted CA list must include a copy of the tomcat certificate and the CallManager certificate from
every Unified CM server.
