Configuring TMS Provisioning Extension
services
Cisco TMSPE services are hosted on Cisco TMS. They provide the user, device and phone book data that is
used by the VCS's Provisioning Server to service provisioning requests from endpoint devices. They also
provide the VCS with the FindMe account configuration data that it uses to provide FindMe services.
The TMS Provisioning Extension services page (System > TMS Provisioning Extension services) is
used to configure how the VCS connects to the Cisco TMSPE services. We recommend that you use Cisco
TMS to make any changes to the Cisco TMSPE services' configuration settings. Any changes made to the
settings via this page will not be applied within Cisco TMS.
The FindMe service can only be configured if the FindMe option key is installed, and the Users, Phone
books and Devices services can only be configured if the Device Provisioning option key is installed.
The configurable options are:
Field Description Usage tips
Default connection configuration
This section specifies default connection settings for accessing the Cisco TMSPE services. Each specific service
can choose to use these default settings or, alternatively, specify its own connection settings, for example if a
different Cisco TMSPE server is being used for each service.
Server address The IP address or Fully Qualified
Domain Name (FQDN) of the
service.
Destination port The listening port on the Cisco
TMSPE service. Default is 443.
Encryption The encryption to use for the
connection to the Cisco TMSPE
service.
Off: no encryption is used.
TLS: TLS encryption is used.
Default is TLS.
A TLS connection is recommended.
Verify certificate Controls whether the certificate
presented by the Cisco TMSPE
service is verified against the
VCS's current trusted CA list and, if
loaded, the revocation list. Default
is Yes.
If you enable verification:
n IIS (on the Cisco TMSPE server) must be installed
with a signed certificate and be set to enforce SSL
connections.
n You must add the certificate of the issuer of the Cisco
TMSPE server's certificate to the file containing the
VCS's trusted CA certificates. This is done from the
Managing the trusted CA certificate list [p.285] page
(Maintenance > Security certificates > Trusted CA
certificate).
