Support for a privileged user

Presence Services Connector Release 7.1.2 supports a Service Attribute "Privileged User", which will accept the login name of the presence-enabled Avaya Aura user. If you are using Equinox Attendant, then attendant user's login name is accepted.

For Equinox Attendant, ensure that only the attendant user has a service profile associated with Equinox Attendant snap-in.

S4B interoperability with AMM using Federation Relay

Presence Services Release 7.1.2 supports additional routing assistance when AMM is included in Presence Services and Microsoft federation deployments.

If AMM is deployed, then the Session Manager routes IM messages to AMM. Else, Federation Relay will add a new flag "av-msfe-imgw" for IM messages, which will direct the Session Manager to route the IM messages to AMM. The flag allows the Session Manager to identify the Presence and IM messages, and route them to different destinations as required.

application/vnd.avaya.presence-im.user-identity.v1+json
