The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

An authentication method to the Microsoft Exchange server. To save chat history to a Microsoft Outlook folder, the parameter enables the client to use the operating system account details of the signed-in user to authenticate with the Exchange server. This authentication method uses the Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) security protocol.
true (default)—The client uses the operating system account details of the user to authenticate to the Exchange server.
false—The client does not use the user's operating system account details to authenticate to the Exchange server. Instead, users must enter their credentials in the Outlook tab of the Options dialog.

Applies to Cisco Jabber for Windows and Mac on-premises deployments.
Specifies the domain that the client uses to search for the Exchange server. This is used when the domain of the exchange server is different to the domain of the users credentials.
Define the value of the parameter as the domain to discover the Exchange server. The client uses the domain to search for the Exchange server at one of the following web addresses:
https://<domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc
https://autodiscover.<domain>/
autodiscover/autodiscover.svc
Example:
<ExchangeAutodiscoverDomain>domain</ExchangeAutodiscoverDomain>
Applies to Cisco Jabber for desktop clients.
Specifies the domain of the Microsoft Exchange server. This parameter works with the Exchange_UseCredentialsFrom parameter as shown in the following example:
Exchange_UseCredentialsFrom = CUCM (where the username is in the format username@domain.com)
ExchangeDomain = otherdomain.com
In this case, username@otherdomain.com is used to authenticate with the Exchange server.
Use this parameter in the following scenarios:
If you have different domains for the Exchange Server and Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If your Cisco Unified Communications Manager is pre 10.5 Release and you want to authenticate with Office 365. In pre 10.5 Cisco Unified Communications Manager, credentials do not contain a domain, however authentication with Office 365 does require a domain. Use this parameter to set a domain for the Exchange server.
Note |
For Cisco Jabber for Windows, this parameter does not have any effect if the ExchangeAuthenticateWithSystemAccount parameter is set to true. |
Applies to Cisco Jabber for desktop clients.
