Introduction to 7.1(2)CiscoUnifiedCommunicationsManagerAdminXMLInterfaceSpec.zip
This software package contains the XML interface specifications for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 7.1(2), a critical component for enterprise-grade voice and video collaboration systems. Designed for developers and system integrators, the documentation enables custom integration with third-party applications through standardized API protocols.
The ZIP archive includes comprehensive schema definitions, WSDL files, and implementation guides for CUCM’s Administrative XML Web Service interface. Originally released alongside CUCM 7.1(2) in Q4 2024, it remains compatible with modern Cisco collaboration ecosystems when used for legacy system maintenance.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced API Security Protocols
The 7.1(2) XML interface introduces SHA-256 encryption for SOAP message authentication, replacing the deprecated MD5 algorithm. This aligns with Cisco’s Secure Development Lifecycle (CSDL) requirements for cryptographic standards.
2. Multi-Tenancy Support
Added XML schema extensions enable partitioned configuration management in multi-tenant deployments. Administrators can now programmatically manage:
- Tenant-specific device pools
- Route patterns with tenant ID filters
- Partitioned directory number ranges
3. Real-Time Serviceability Integration
New API tags allow external monitoring tools to collect:
- Call processing latency metrics
- Cluster node resource utilization
- SIP trunk capacity thresholds
4. Compliance Updates
- GDPR-compliant user data purge workflows via
operation
- FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for government deployments
Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Supported Versions |
---|---|
CUCM Software | 7.1(2) to 14.1 (legacy mode) |
Operating Systems | Windows Server 2016/2019, RHEL 7.4-8.2 |
Cisco IP Phones | 7800/8800/8900 Series |
Virtualization Platforms | VMware ESXi 6.5/6.7, Cisco UCS M5/M6 |
Known Compatibility Constraints:
- Requires Java Runtime Environment 8u201 or later for XML toolkit execution
- Incompatible with CUCM 15.0+ REST API coexisting configurations
Limitations and Restrictions
- Rate Limiting: XML requests are throttled at 50 transactions/second per cluster node.
- Deprecated Fields:
and
tags require CUCM 10.5+ for full functionality.
- Certificate Requirements: Mutual TLS authentication mandates 2048-bit RSA keys, incompatible with older 1024-bit PKI infrastructures.
