Recent operating system versions support the encryption of application container data.

Personal data encryptionWhen data is transmitted over a network, it is encrypted.Google Cloud stores personally identifiable information. The REST encryption controls for datastored on Google Cloud are provided through Google storage services.

• All stored data is encrypted.• All client-server data connections are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher.• When dialing into an audio conference through a PSTN phone, Avaya Spaces cannot ensure

the end-to-end encryption of the voice signaling path across global service provider networks.

Chapter 3: Network access configuration

Use this chapter to configure Avaya Spaces from behind secure firewalls and proxies. Thisinformation is intended for network administrators.

When configuring your network, remember the following:

• Avoid whitelisting based on IP address. These addresses can change dynamically.

• Add the avayacloud.com domain to your network whitelist.

• Leave HTTP headers, such as Authorization, intact.

Required hosts and protocolsAvaya Spaces uses the following transport protocols:

• HTTPS and WSS.• WebRTC, including ICE, STUN, and TURN protocols over DTLS-SRTP.• SIPS over TCP/TLS.

Use TLS traffic for HTTPS and WSS. TLS-inspection should support both or have an exception forAvaya Spaces hosts.For all Avaya Spaces features to function normally, ensure that the following settings areunrestricted. In the following table, the media host IP addresses for UDP are provided in the CIDRformat.

Page 14: Administering Avaya Spaces

Hosts Ports Protocol Transport DescriptionDynamic 3478 TURN UDP • Typically used for

guests.

Media transport guidelinesUDP is the preferred media protocol because it results in the best user experience. Tunnelingmedia over TCP or TLS is available for highly restrictive firewalls, but avoid using it as the primarymethod for accessing Avaya Spaces.To ensure that media traverses your network firewall securely, configure an address-restricteddynamic cone NAT or a port-restricted dynamic cone NAT for the specified UDP port range. Allmajor firewall vendors support this configuration. Avoid using a symmetric NAT because it canresult in sub-optimal tunneling of audio or video and connection failures.Since media is sensitive to latency, connect to the internet through the shortest path possible toreduce round trip times and improve the quality of service. You can use the media host IPaddresses for UDP to program software-defined network infrastructure to recognize media trafficand route to the internet seamlessly. This configuration is recommended for large enterprises withmultiple sites and a centralized network data center architecture.

Chapter 9: Citrix environment configuration

To join Avaya Spaces meetings from a Citrix virtual desktop, follow the instructions in this chapter.You must configure the Citrix client and server. For optimal audio and video quality, ensure that youalso configure Browser Content Redirection (BCR).

You can also use your Citrix virtual desktop environment with the Avaya Spaces Calling extension.

Citrix client requirementsThe Citrix client requires the following:

• Microsoft Windows 10 operating system• Google Chrome web browser with the Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects setting

enabled• Citrix Workspace application

Avaya recommends using Citrix Workspace application version 2002 or later for BCR andscreen sharing. If you are using an earlier version, you can see content that others aresharing, but you cannot share your screen.

Related linksAvaya Spaces limitations for Citrix environments on page 51

Citrix server requirementsThe Citrix server requires the following:

• Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7, version 1811 or later• Virtual Delivery Agent operating system: Windows 10 (minimum version 1607) or Windows

Server 2016• Virtual Delivery Agent web browser: Google Chrome version 72 or later

Page 51: Administering Avaya Spaces

Avaya Spaces limitations for Citrix environments• BCR does not work with Citrix Receiver. You must install the Citrix Workspace application on

the client.• Citrix BCR supports Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. BCR does not support

other operating systems.• When using BCR, you cannot share your browser tab in an Avaya Spaces meeting. You can

still share an application or your entire screen.• Citrix BCR does not support push notifications, so Avaya Spaces does not display chat and

other message notifications.• BCR does not work with the Citrix Workspace application for Windows version 1912 Long

Term Service Release (LTSR) because of the removal of the embedded browser. For moreinformation, see https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX270599.Avaya recommends using Citrix Application version 2002 Current Release (CR) or later.

• Citrix Workspace application version 2002 or later is required for screen sharing in an AvayaSpaces meeting. If you are using an earlier version, you can see content that others aresharing but you cannot share your screen.

• The Citrix server requires Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent version 1811.1 or later to supportGoogle Chrome.

• With Citrix Workspace version 1905 and earlier, websites that use Integrated WindowAuthentication (IWA) might not work because BCR cannot interpret the Windows Securitydialog box. This does not affect Avaya Spaces, but SSO websites used for authenticationthat employ IWA do not work.

• Google Chrome console logging is not supported.

Configuration recommendationsFollow these recommendations to optimize your Avaya Spaces experience with a Citrix virtualdesktop environment:

• On the Windows display settings, set the Scale and layout value to 100% or less.Avaya Spaces does not work correctly if the Windows display scale is larger than 100%.

• Configure the Citrix client to use high DPI for the best resolution and performance. Set thisusing Advanced Preferences on the Citrix Workspace taskbar.

• Enable BCR for the Citrix client and server.
