About this software

Cloud-hosted Lync federation is a hosted service that enables federated communication between a Microsoft Lync or Skype for Business deployment and external domains. It provides presence, instant messaging, and audio/video meeting routing across organizational boundaries and typically requires DNS SRV records and Access Edge routing. A cloud provider or managed service operator usually implements and maintains the federation infrastructure as an add-on to hosted Lync deployments.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lync federation?
Federation creates a trust between domains so users can share presence, instant messaging, and join audio/video meetings across organizations. It typically requires Access Edge configuration and DNS SRV records.
How is federation configured?
Configuration commonly involves creating a _sipfederationtls._tcp SRV record, specifying an Access Edge FQDN, and setting partner allow/block lists and policies.
Does hosted federation require on-premises servers?
A hosted federation service usually removes the need to run public Access Edge servers on-premises because the provider operates edge infrastructure, though internal Lync servers may remain.
Can federation connect to consumer Skype or Teams?
Support for consumer Skype or Microsoft Teams federation depends on Microsoft policy and the hosting provider; verify current interoperability with the provider before assuming connectivity.
What DNS records are required for federation?
Federation commonly requires a _sipfederationtls._tcp SRV record pointing at the Access Edge FQDN and appropriate TLS certificates on the edge service.
