This command was implemented on the advanced integration module (AIM).


Usage Guidelines

This command is not available on an NM running Cisco Unified Communications Manager or on an AIM for version 2.3 and earlier.

Configuring the fallback authentication server is necessary for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) systems.

Cisco Unity Express provides a primary authentication server for VoiceView Express authentication requests from Cisco Unified CME. If Cisco Unified CME is configured with several phone services that need authentication services, Cisco Unity Express directs those authentication requests to the fallback server.

The Cisco Unified CME administrator must ensure that Cisco Unified CME authentication server URL points to Cisco Unity Express authentication server. The URL format is http://Cisco-Unity-Express-hostname/voiceview/authentication/authenticate.do.

The Cisco Unity Express administrator must configure the Cisco Unity Express fallback authentication URL to point to the third-party fallback server. This URL has the format http://servername/path/filename.

Examples

The following example configures a fallback authentication server URL for Cisco Unity Express:

se-10-0-0-0# config t
se-10-0-0-0(config)# service phone-authentication
se-10-0-0-0(config-phone-authentication)# fallback-url 
http://172.16.10.10/auth-server/authenticate.asp
se-10-0-0-0(config-phone-authentication)# end
se-10-0-0-0(config)#end
se-10-0-0-0#
