500-444 Exam Dumps : Cisco Contact Center Enterprise Implementation and Troubleshooting

According to the Cisco documentation12, single sign-on (SSO) in PCCE can be implemented in one of these three modes:

• SSO - Enable all agents and supervisors in the deployment for SSO. This mode requires the use of SAML assertions to exchange authentication and authorization details between an identity provider (IdP) and an identity service (IdS)1.
• SAML - Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard that allows the IdP to issue SAML assertions, which are packages of security information transferred from the IdP to the service provider for user authentication1. SAML is the underlying technology that enables SSO in PCCE2.
• Hybrid - Enable agents and supervisors selectively in the deployment for SSO. Hybrid mode allows you to phase in the migration of agents from a non-SSO deployment to an SSO deployment and enable SSO for local PGs. Hybrid mode is useful if you have third-party applications that don’t support SSO, and some agents and supervisors must be SSO-disabled to sign in to those applications1.

Option A is incorrect because Non-SSO is the opposite of SSO, and it means continuing to use existing Active Directory-based and local authentication, without SSO1. Option C is incorrect because ldS is a typo for IdS, which is not a mode but a component of SSO. Option D is incorrect because ldP is a typo for IdP, which is also not a mode but a component of SSO.

A PCCE initialization under Unified CCE PG performs the following two tasks among others:

• Creates the CUCM Peripheral Gateway (PG) with the CUCM PIM. A CUCM PG is a component that communicates with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) to control and monitor agent phones and route calls. A CUCM PIM is a process that runs on the CUCM PG and acts as an interface between the CUCM and the CTI Server. The PCCE initialization creates the CUCM PG with the CUCM PIM and configures the required settings, such as the JTAPI username and password, the CUCM cluster ID, and the PG ID12.
• Downloads JTAPI from the Unified Communications Manager and installs it on the Unified CCE PG. JTAPI is a Java API that enables computer telephony integration (CTI) applications to interact with the CUCM. The PCCE initialization downloads the JTAPI client from the CUCM publisher and installs it on the Unified CCE PG. This allows the CUCM PIM to use JTAPI to control and monitor agent phones and route calls13.

n Contact Center Enterprise with Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) deployment, CUBE must be configured as media pass flow-through mode. This means that CUBE will terminate and reoriginate both the signaling and media streams for each call leg. This allows CUBE to perform media manipulation, such as transcoding, transrating, DTMF interworking, and media forking. Media pass flow-through mode is required for CUBE to support advanced features for contact center, such as courtesy call back, contact center survivability, and encrypted (SRTP) trunks. Media pass flow-around mode, where CUBE only terminates and reoriginate the signaling stream and lets the media stream bypass CUBE, is not supported for contact center solutions. A voice gateway must not be dedicated for VXML browser sessions, as CUBE can coexist with VXML gateway on the same platform. Box-to-box CUBE can be used for redundancy, but it is not a mandatory configuration for contact center solutions123. References:
