For each Cisco Unified Client Services Framework (CSF) device that you add to the system, Cisco Unified Communications Manager creates a configuration (CNF.xml) file. The CNF file contains the device specifications for the associated user.
When users sign in to Cisco Jabber, Cisco Jabber Softphone for VDI starts the download of the associated CNF file to the thin client. To ensure the successful transfer of the file, open the relevant ports in all firewall applications to allow the thin client to access the ports. For more information about how to open ports, see the documentation for the firewall software.
