Contact Sync (Legacy)

Introduction

Contact Sync is an advanced, optional feature of Cloud Softphone which uploads contacts from a mobile device to Contacts server and keeps the server-side copy up-to-date.

The server-side copy of contacts is used for Smart Contacts. The server checks which people from the address book use the same service and offers on-net calls with extra features like video calls or file transfers for such contacts.

Requirements

Contacts server

The server which stores the contacts and provides APIs to clients to keep the contacts in sync. The server is available either as a binary for Linux, installable on premises of provider, or as a hosted solution by Acrobits.

For providers who prefer hosting their own Contact Sync server, see the installation instructions.

SSO server

Single Sign On server, which validates SIP username&password using ext_auth web service and creates access tokens, which clients use to authenticate themselves. This server is also available either as a binary for Linux to be installed on premises of provider, or hosted by Acrobits.
