Nginx SSL question
by David Mehler 10 May '24

10 May '24

Hello, Do we have any advanced admins of the Nginx web server? I'm doing some configuration changes on a spare Nginx web server to evaluate them before putting them on the main server. I've got a question on the ssl_protocols configuration option. I'm wanting to support only TLSv1.3 and TLSv1.2 I've seen configurations written in both of the following ways: ssl_protocols TLSv1.3 TLSv1.2; or: ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; Question, which is correct? Thanks. Dave. -- Sent from Mozilla Thunderbird 91.13.1

using jump servers
by Fayre, Jason 10 May '24

10 May '24

Hello, At work, I have a situation where I need to access a server through a jump server. Essentially, you RDP into the jump server, then RDP from that server into your final destination. Does anyone know if JAWS will support an RDP connection like this?

Recommendations for PBX and softphones for windows?
by Eigeldinger Simon 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi all, We are, as i said in another thread, changing our PBX from a hardware device to a cloud/software based solution. Which PBX are you recommending? I saw that some are using FreePBX and FusionPBX. And which softphones are you recommending for Windows? We are also getting ried of our old hardware phones as well. I want something i can use comfortably which isn't in the way all the time when the phone starts ringing. Are there also headset recommendations? Our city has around 100-200 phones. Greetings, Simon

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the info. We are also in a second phone solution based on a cloud hosted Unify pbx which we are going to test right now. I will get an account for the phone part soon. Will report back how that one goes. Migration of that one would be easiest because there we could just move the whole data over.

Cisco used to lock you into a proprietary phone system called Skinny (SCCP) which didn't use SIP. This meant you had to use Cisco hardware and software. When I was using it we were using a Cisco router with a few ISDN-30 links, but we were desperately wanting to use SIP trunks. Even moving to the SIP trunks meant we had to buy a new set of routers and use those as gateways, we couldn't just set up the PBX appliances to gateway out to the SIP trunk. Would be really interested to see if you have looked at M365/Teams voice options.

Thanks for the info. Seems that this pbx isn't all that loved *smile*. I also looked for more advanced settings like codecs. But this seems not available in this version over here.

I used the appliance version of this around 10 years ago which was version 8.6. Similar experience to you, the admin portal works ok but the desktop client is utter garbage. Not long after I left that job it got replaced by Skype for Business. It wasn't really a good fit for our business, we were only a relatively small outfit with around 300 phones and we never could afford the call centre addons for it. We kept it because there was a big investment in the phone hardware which we wanted to keep going until it wasn't supported. We were on version 4.x for ages, which ran on Windows 2003. We only upgraded to 8.6 as it was long out of support and we couldn't find someone to keep it going for us.

At the moment we are testing one from Cisco. I guess it is called Cisco Hosted Communication Service. The admin interface seems to be accessible enough to work with it. At least i looked at adding a device and working with extensions. I also looked at the Cisco Jabber UC client for Windows. Though this seems to be less accessible than the admin interface. It seems to have some accessibility features though it doesn't feel all that accessible using NVDA. Has someone some experience with this system and the client?

Teams woes on a new laptop install
by Andrew Hodgson 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hi. I'm a bit stuck at the moment with an issue on Teams. The company I work for has recently been taken over by a large corporate and this morning they wiped my laptop in the expectation I would reformat it with a clean install and provision it with their InTune. This seemed to go well at first, I installed Windows 11 23H2 from an ISO I downloaded, and the provisioning was successful. They are using the BeyondTrust Privilege Manager to stop people installing software and even though I have extra perms to install I am still prompted. Getting JFW 2024 installed was a bit of an issue. This also does some other lockdown of the system but unsure what and how it is locked down. The main issue though is that the InTune installed Teams on the device, and when I go into Teams I get absolutely no speech in any part of the app. I have tried several things to rectify this without issue. Its Teams Classic version 1.6.00.28554 that is installed. The version of Office they have installed is 16130.20810 which is from the 2302 semi-annual enterprise channel. Has anyone seen this issue where Teams is completely unusable with JFW? At this point I'm not sure if it's a problem with this BeyondTrust software or something in Teams, but its going to cause me a bit of a headache next week if I can't get this resolved quickly. Thanks. Andrew.
