DSCP Markers in Microsoft Teams
I have been reading the following article which shows it was updated 6 months ago and so I think it must still be relevant: https://support.catonetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408901533073-Implementing-QoS-using-Microsoft-Teams-and-Cato Our app analytics only show the Skype and MS Teams application, rather than being broken down into these: We use Cisco switches, and for the ports connected to the socket we use the following: switchport trunk native vlan 99 switchport mode trunk ip device tracking maximum 0 no access-session monitor spanning-tree portfast edge trunk ip dhcp snooping trust We do have GPO/InTune that sets the DCSP on our laptops. Do we need to configure anything on the Cisco switches for this to work? Or is there another reason I haven't thought of?
Device posture basis domain name
One of the issue we raised during Cato Connect program was around device posture policy basis domain and it was clarified that this falls under advanced configuration and can be done by support/CSM team. I raised ticket for the same and the response was that they can apply but from backend and at account level. I want to exclude some of my senior management from this policy but it is not feasible now since done at account level. Also I cant do testing by applying this device posture basis domain for some 2-3 users to see if it works properly and also no option from frontend to disable if there is any issue and totally depend on service ticket and backend team. This makes this good policy not to be deployed as it has potential risk since neither testing can be done nor exclusion can be done unlike any other device posture policy since policy deployed from backend and deployed at account level.
Setting up SSO with IdPs other than the default nine?
I would like to ask about the possibilities of setting up SSO integration with Identity Providers (IdPs) that are not among the nine default options provided. What methods are available for establishing SSO connections with IdPs beyond the default nine? Is there a way to configure a generic IdP setting, or can we leverage the existing nine IdP configurations to connect with other IdPs? Additionally, is there a process to request a new IdP to be officially supported or added as a connection option? Any insights or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
