Cisco Mobility Advantage Proxy Functionality
To support Cisco UMA for the Cisco Mobility Advantage solution, the mobility advantage proxy
(implemented as a TLS proxy) includes the following functionality:
• The ability to allow no client authentication during the handshake with clients.
• Allowing an imported PKCS-12 certificate to server as a proxy certificate.
The adaptive security appliance includes an inspection engine to validate the Cisco UMA Mobile
Multiplexing Protocol (MMP).
MMP is a data transport protocol for transmitting data entities between Cisco UMA clients and servers.
As shown in Figure 45-1, MMP must be run on top of a connection-oriented protocol (the underlying
transport) and is intended to be run on top of a secure transport protocol such as TLS. The Orative
Markup Language (OML) protocol is intended to be run on top of MMP for the purposes of data
synchronization, as well as the HTTP protocol for uploading and downloading large files.
