Device authentication using an Active Directory Service for Movi endpoints
Device authentication can be performed using a direct connection between the VCS and an Active Directory
Service (ADS). This allows Movi 4.2 (or later) endpoint users to use their Windows Active Directory (AD)
credentials to authenticate with the VCS.
This means that Movi users do not need a separate set of authentication credentials (username and
password) for their Movi endpoint - instead they can use the same credentials for both Windows and Movi.
See Movi authentication using an Active Directory Service
Previously this feature was only configurable via the CLI, from X7.0 it can be configured via the web
interface.
Shared cluster licenses
Call licenses are now shared across the entire VCS cluster.
Traversal and non-traversal call license option keys are still installed on each individual peer and are subject
to per-peer limits, but the licenses are available to all peers in the cluster. See
cluster for more information. Note that any other option keys (FindMe, for example) must still be installed
identically on each cluster peer, as before.
Microsoft Edge Server support via B2BUA for Microsoft OCS/Lync
Support for Microsoft Edge Server communications has been added via the introduction of a back-to-back
user agent (B2BUA) application. The B2BUA provides interworking between Microsoft ICE (used when MOC
/ Lync clients communicate through the Edge Server) and media for communications with standard video
endpoints. The B2BUA also provides call hold, call transfer and Multiway support for calls with OCS/Lync
clients, and can share FindMe presence information with OCS/Lync. See

Presence User Agent
You can now configure the Default published status for registered endpoints to be either Online or
Offline. This is the presentity status published by the Presence User Agent for registered endpoints when
they are not "In-Call". See
