Using Third-Party CA Certificates Single-server and Multi-server Certificates Overview As the name suggests, Single-server certificate contains single FQDN which identifies the trust for that FQDN only. The single FQDN or domain is present in Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extensions. If there are multiple servers in a cluster, then the system requires the generation of an equal number of X.509 certificates, one for each server. The system uses a multi-server certificate to identify the trust for multiple servers or domains or sub-domains. The SAN extensions of a multi-server certificate contain multiple FQDNs or domains. For telephony integration, multi-server SAN certificate is supported only with SIP integration. However, with SCCP integration, only single-server certificate is supported. Note The following table describes the basic differences between single-server and multi-server certificates. Table 10: Configuration Comparison of Certificates Multi-server certificate Single-server certificate It contains multiple FQDNs or domains present in SAN extensions. It contains a single FQDN or domain in either the CN field and/or SAN extensions. A single certificate identifies multiple servers. The system uses a single certificate for each server in a cluster. Since this certificate covers only one public and private key pair common to all servers, it requires secure transfer of same private key to all the servers in a cluster along with the certificate. If the private key is compromised on any server, the certificate and private key needs to be regenerated for all the servers. The administrator regenerates the certificate and private key on each individual server in situations such as certificate expiry, private key compromise, etc. There is less overhead for the administrator in managing multi-server certificates since he or she performs the steps only once on a given server, and the system distributes the associated private key and signed certificates to all the servers in the cluster. Generation of single server certificate can become an overhead for the administrator in a large cluster because the administrator needs to perform steps such as generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR), send CSR to CA for signing, upload signed certificate etc for each of the servers in the cluster. Cisco Unified Communications Operating System supports certificates that a third-party Certificate Authority (CA) issues with PKCS # 10 Certificate Signing Request (CSR). The following table provides an overview of this process, with references to additional documentation: Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 15 26 Security Using Third-Party CA Certificates

For More Information Task Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration allows the system administrator to select the distribution type, when generating a CSR for the individual certificate purposes that supports the multi-server option. The system automatically populates the CSR with the required SAN entries and displays the default SAN entries on the screen. On generating a multi-server CSR, the system automatically distributes that CSR to all the required servers in the cluster. Similarly, on upload of a multi-server CA signed certificate, the system automatically distributes that certificate to all the required servers in the cluster Login to Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window. Step 1 See the Generating a Certificate Signing Request. Generate a CSR on the server. Step 2 See the Downloading a Certificate Signing Request. Download the CSR to your PC. Step 3 Get information about obtaining application certificates from your CA. See Third-Party CA Certificates for additional notes. Use the CSR to obtain an application certificate from a CA. Step 4 Get information about obtaining a root certificate from your CA. See Third-Party CA Certificates for additional notes. Obtain the CA root certificate. Step 5 See the Upload Trust Certificate. Upload the CA root certificate to the server. Step 6 See the Upload Application Certificate. Upload the application certificate to the server.

Setting Up Remote Support From the Remote Account Support window, you can set up a remote account that Cisco support personnel can use to access the system for a specified time. The remote support process works like this: Step 1 The customer sets up a remote support account. This account includes a time limit on how long Cisco personnel can access it. This time limit can be configured to various values. Step 2 When the remote support account is set up, a pass phrase gets generated. Step 3 The customer calls Cisco support and provides the remote support account name and pass phrase. Step 4 Cisco support enters the pass phrase into a decoder program that generates a password from the pass phrase. Step 5 Cisco support logs into the remote support account on the customer system with the decoded password. Step 6 When the account time limit expires, Cisco support can no longer access the remote support account. To set up remote support, follow this procedure: Step 7 From the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window, navigate to Services > Remote Support. The Remote Access Configuration window displays. Step 8 Enter an account name for the remote account in the Account Name field.
