<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Had an amazing and exciting time so far, overwhelmed with an virtually infinite to-do-list. Caused by my background being an OCS / Exchange & Microsoft infrastructure consultant for the last 4 years I had the pleasure ;) to get also involved in snom's internal IT. Part of this was introducing a whole new Hyper-V based, W2K8 R2 AD infrastructure and Exchange 2010 was and still is an exciting experience. This and other IT changes run parallel to my new task and I am happy to be supported in both roles by reliable and motivated team members, like I had at <a href="http://www.itacs.de/">ITaCS</a>.</span></span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">some enterprises and organisation using Microsoft OCS have the need to force all client and server machines to support NTLMv2 only, for security concerns to LAN Manager and NTLMv1. Until now, it was impossible to connect the none-certified <a href="http://bit.ly/3u1m1y">OCS phones from snom</a>, a Berlin based ip-phone vendor to this kind of OCS infrastructures.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had the luck to get hands-on the first version of snom's OCS Edition firmware, which supports NTLMv2 now and I like to share my test results with you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Prep: </b><br />
</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">First I forced my UC / AD test enviroment to NTLMv2 only. I guess this steps are quite similar to what is done in the mentioned "high security" networks. For my tests I simply edited the default domain policy, via Group Policy Management. (Please don't change anything following this explanations in a productive enviroment!)</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5IpNf2aCKnlhksGs-zbTAYgenuIxzsDlW34iS0eUQf70HKIWfzXJneqePEb9Th_-PZJMbrwWS38gnnGoiBn8UYcdFAoWftjzl3pEbR6QFF5o_lGtffz8wLTv4Yk6QpccgSMK8nERz9XsF/s1600-h/GPO-LOCAL-Security-Options.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5IpNf2aCKnlhksGs-zbTAYgenuIxzsDlW34iS0eUQf70HKIWfzXJneqePEb9Th_-PZJMbrwWS38gnnGoiBn8UYcdFAoWftjzl3pEbR6QFF5o_lGtffz8wLTv4Yk6QpccgSMK8nERz9XsF/s640/GPO-LOCAL-Security-Options.png" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The summary should look like:</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-GQ-_UZPBxwZZkCUDKD5lEhhS_01QqQJHQqDraqHXroQaUCfhXtscdAOjWK6qAcKmndFnhneSlLLdvxXeakbrsehtb4g8ygEcB1nWeYQ5C4hyphenhypheni6h-hmqpxlJLYVvXReTaJpYqBvSVkff/s1600-h/Default+Domain+Policy+-+GPO-Setttings.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-GQ-_UZPBxwZZkCUDKD5lEhhS_01QqQJHQqDraqHXroQaUCfhXtscdAOjWK6qAcKmndFnhneSlLLdvxXeakbrsehtb4g8ygEcB1nWeYQ5C4hyphenhypheni6h-hmqpxlJLYVvXReTaJpYqBvSVkff/s640/Default+Domain+Policy+-+GPO-Setttings.png" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">When the policy is applied, you can check any windows based domain-joined machine, like your OCS Front End or Standard Edition Server if its is really activated.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Open local security policy, security options.</span></div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you try to connect a snom using the OCS edition firmware without NTLMv2 support, the log on the snom phone will show you statements like this:</span></div><br />

</span>
</pre><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It simply means the "old" firmware was unable to support the authentification challenge (NTLMv2) from OCS R1 / R2. With the latest firmware version (snaphot 8.2 - 10.19.09.) it will register without any issue and works as expected :) The first attempt fails (NTLMv1) and then it switches (NTLMv2) - so backward compatibility is well respected:</span></div><br />

a lot of people using Communicator still like the option to remote call control a phone. Fortunatly, it seems that <a href="http://www.sinc.de/">someone</a> has listen to this wishful thinking, especially for the one's using none-certified OCS phones from <a href="http://www.snom.com/en/products/unified-communications/microsoft-ocs/snom-ocs-edition-at-a-glance/">snom</a>. (this post is not related to traditional RCC with 3.party SIP ua CSTA ecma TR / 87 gateway or TAPI approach!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">The tool is called SCUPA, a result of a very ambitious UCMA development project at SINC a german based MS Gold partner. <a href="http://projectscupa.sinc.de/">To project-page</a> (for the EN part simply scroll down). I had the luck to get hands-on the version 1.0.5.0, wich will be available soon on the project-page. Please consider this as a proof of concept and so please do not judge it too early. The developer team is well aware that there is still space for improments, indeed also in terms of security. From my point of view, for the UC application pioneer times we live in, they made a quiet seamless integrated useful add-on. Good job SINC! :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Ok,now lets have a look: SCUPA comes as an MSI, so install and mass deployment - no problem. :) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLP7pVdjDEwNLZZtCNjn34MVsthvrUc045ZoRMLEAvy24MrieV98Dzk73_aenOP8kBzZw5VONCDYxeJ754yfbPSkwvCYFulHj_B2oIiHzzxW-flIKGz4RNsz2Urc__7hNcWszerZMCylFi/s1600-h/MSI-SCUPA-PACK.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLP7pVdjDEwNLZZtCNjn34MVsthvrUc045ZoRMLEAvy24MrieV98Dzk73_aenOP8kBzZw5VONCDYxeJ754yfbPSkwvCYFulHj_B2oIiHzzxW-flIKGz4RNsz2Urc__7hNcWszerZMCylFi/s640/MSI-SCUPA-PACK.png" /></a></span></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">When you open OC you will find a new extra option - hit SCUPA configuration:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qJveB8ZGNzvysNQM1WFLu_nTdTaIUa3XbXKbNXHGidDW0417GDUjrqZ3niUsyrApiK2YST4SSVhPgAtpOewQvL0Q8fr-39_rFqWy3l8S-HqXVZf6Xdvetv7mAVdKIW0H5CagytBVOQTN/s1600-h/EN-SCUPA-CONF01.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396011371432769826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qJveB8ZGNzvysNQM1WFLu_nTdTaIUa3XbXKbNXHGidDW0417GDUjrqZ3niUsyrApiK2YST4SSVhPgAtpOewQvL0Q8fr-39_rFqWy3l8S-HqXVZf6Xdvetv7mAVdKIW0H5CagytBVOQTN/s640/EN-SCUPA-CONF01.png" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">You simply enter the IP adress of the snom phone you like to control.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396012862961074482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl2ei_8trZGRHCIiYML8quUVuBUhiaLJctp1P3szoL9miMQq993HrwvtuqHZzcH5D8Sb7mHXXHcUG30kKYWvXkt6IkA7etaZgrx9gjnqLDR7LQMJ_DFyBmEYo91fAvuZybRM49KFayx0Ny/s640/EN-SCUPA-CONF02.png" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">No authentication to the phone? Yep!, remember its a PoC atm. You have to clean up the http webserver user account & password info at the snom phone. Access the webserver of the phone, go to SETUP, Advanced, QoS/Security and clear the user and pw line:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0pz-2wsQMuASeVqL_erW48-7FdR_G_-ZIXWr1vbvKoaLFtAijE0H17oc85KsNXRSbCo7YtPNB4X-Xj0ESmp-8gn484lBJ0OFBmcAMOXB1TjgQcgS2a_n-VJFbU5CDbemIpB8mJ4y4CAgg/s1600-h/Snom-Web-Account.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396015836627992306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0pz-2wsQMuASeVqL_erW48-7FdR_G_-ZIXWr1vbvKoaLFtAijE0H17oc85KsNXRSbCo7YtPNB4X-Xj0ESmp-8gn484lBJ0OFBmcAMOXB1TjgQcgS2a_n-VJFbU5CDbemIpB8mJ4y4CAgg/s400/Snom-Web-Account.png" style="height: 66px; width: 400px;" /></a></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br />
Additionally you can ignore the security warning via setting:</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwkw6duUD_9J-M3gNj-0T-MGS0I1Lb9pvm0kF4dIX5KjQjiMhYj7FjWvapBj2K7ITnU7af_6YJIeE9WGoL9lAyj9mbbBuYUNVg-sa0WTqjhwS5qVDb8fR0TKfVH_Vtql-PTRx4XSaonLD/s1600-h/Ignore-Sec-Warning-Snom.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396016528596055394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwkw6duUD_9J-M3gNj-0T-MGS0I1Lb9pvm0kF4dIX5KjQjiMhYj7FjWvapBj2K7ITnU7af_6YJIeE9WGoL9lAyj9mbbBuYUNVg-sa0WTqjhwS5qVDb8fR0TKfVH_Vtql-PTRx4XSaonLD/s400/Ignore-Sec-Warning-Snom.png" style="height: 35px; width: 376px;" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Please, dont forget to hit save at the bottom. Now back to OC and enter a number:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOgt_ID-_MfHNYr5bxdh1VHNzv0BtX6xnAV4v_irc9e9T1AoEhW50Q_3xrstAyxGJ4RuYMny1tv5fGRk-Bm0lw6It0-HeonH-q1UvAJTcyqoXAK8OlWEeByHboPQ_IcCZ5PL4PhMQbGVG/s1600-h/EN-NORM-CALL-SCUPA01.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396017482694337906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOgt_ID-_MfHNYr5bxdh1VHNzv0BtX6xnAV4v_irc9e9T1AoEhW50Q_3xrstAyxGJ4RuYMny1tv5fGRk-Bm0lw6It0-HeonH-q1UvAJTcyqoXAK8OlWEeByHboPQ_IcCZ5PL4PhMQbGVG/s640/EN-NORM-CALL-SCUPA01.png" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">When the normalized number is marked, the rightclick offers you the Call via IP-Phone option.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">For a half second you will see something like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7k32vCDxuhGFMwKv2q7y54Sp_fT9auFTbxsFuLovcM2tZ_dkSnn3QbK-vIfKfTO4uEtvHk11jC0uyUf-i2sgXkQhemvqGyvrU4SR2vp0C2RINcKI0IUwNWcUCLMTJJYPrbqfXEwrLnU2u/s1600-h/EN-NORM-CALL-SCUPA01b.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396018158628229778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7k32vCDxuhGFMwKv2q7y54Sp_fT9auFTbxsFuLovcM2tZ_dkSnn3QbK-vIfKfTO4uEtvHk11jC0uyUf-i2sgXkQhemvqGyvrU4SR2vp0C2RINcKI0IUwNWcUCLMTJJYPrbqfXEwrLnU2u/s400/EN-NORM-CALL-SCUPA01b.png" style="height: 111px; width: 358px;" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Maybe this can be suppressed in future releases. atm just ignore it :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396019196713708098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjTINUQPkK6nQV9WzYUYqL4DiE3h1AbEN9_XqzOWCaM6iKmqtVd7mJo_Z3q5zzJhFcXcK0LnRjORqPFmbwLPO-nCXvsNE8AujVZPAUDsBcR6X1JUGylriBBoE-fhR4LAaMsMN7jiv5waZ/s640/EN-NORM-CALL-SCUPA02.png" /></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br />
The up-popping menu is very ease to use and of course you get more numbers by selecting someone from your well known contacts:</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396020605751873938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL-YaiQruznSaqRcLuwHhiwVCH6MgW_nzypVXEllQbhKoRqG1LqV8QBvrdYfbeT9Fm4Dl2x2ERL8mI2xN8qc24fW0TZgDi-tmsrWFD4Af1Y4PBj_PeaYK5Hb4hpzytpyRCK32Q4SC9MFgd/s640/EN-CONTACT-CALL-SCUPA02.png" /></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">For OC the current SCUPA PoC is a great first step. In combination with a snom OCS edition phone also the status is correctly changing to "on the phone". If you have not seen it yet, the contact list on <a href="http://www.snom.com/en/products/unified-communications/microsoft-ocs/snom-ocs-edition-at-a-glance">snom OCS edition</a> respects also the status information correctly (e.g. snom 820):</span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwBFBlpYYarhi3ummMb22dOvftnYmJ-9Zd1BanEnXHratQAtV3mR4pWRE6p1H3V3B-RuQjCghOpuMKyswpzR3Qq-lyQDItXF1KZR4eNtj5DSUfmsN5xDNZLfttGGw22-bbAXuLBQdgJvJ/s1600-h/EN-SNOM-ContactScreen.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKwBFBlpYYarhi3ummMb22dOvftnYmJ-9Zd1BanEnXHratQAtV3mR4pWRE6p1H3V3B-RuQjCghOpuMKyswpzR3Qq-lyQDItXF1KZR4eNtj5DSUfmsN5xDNZLfttGGw22-bbAXuLBQdgJvJ/s640/EN-SNOM-ContactScreen.png" /></a></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<br />
(live screen like shown on the 820 phone display - no photoshop fake ;) )<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">And Yes, :) you also can control all snom's without the OCS firmware, connected to your sip provider or ip-pbx, if you like. (afaik, only the snom M3, DECT to SIP is an exception.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Unfortunatly atm, you can't call-control from Outlook or Sharepoint, as this will lead to an enterprise voice call with OC client (e.g. screenshot from Outlook 2010beta, but it's equal behavior in MOSS or former Outlooks):</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396022748425214178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXib9iiaZ55GC0zdWzo5PR1O1PymDIXaRmRONExbANqjguNX48nrfCX4vXjYwIo__F41x7NMtSu1vBb7TFtyvAVhj49XEghBYpCcjE3Ztt0gTmP8IO8ibw4tcympNkM1FoHq2bJQbZj5w/s640/CALL-VIA-OUTLOOK-INBOX.png" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">It is also the case with TEL: URI's :( like this one: TEL:+4930123456789, you can't intercept the behavior with the current version of SCUPA.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">The roadmap for an advanced version of SCUPA sounds promising for snom OCS edition owners:</span><br />
<ol style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">secure call control via https with enterprise enrolled certificates on the phones</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> secure password and account changes to the snom, from within scupa - so no need for the user to enter the snom webserver directly</span><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> much more control options / scenarios and interop between snom and scupa.</span></li>
</ol><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But atm this is all still up in the air and your feedback is highly appreciated at the SCUPA team! If you are interested, please feel free to contact the team leader <b>Jan.Dierich (aahht) sinc.de</b> - of course also possible via OCS federation!<br />
<br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wish you a good testing experience, like I had so far! (btw.: Win7 x64 can possibly be an issue atm. - faced some app crashes). The version I used should be public available during next week, or regarding Win7 an improved one ;)<br />
<br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have a great weekend,</span><br />
