Learn the basics of Lync Server 2013 SDK
Learn how to use the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 SIP Application API to develop SIP applications that run on Microsoft Lync Server 2013.
Applies to: Lync Server 2013
The SIP applications can behave only as proxies or user agent servers (UAS) in the current version of the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 SIP Application Managed API. As a proxy, the Lync Server 2013 SIP Application API application serves to forward a processed SIP message to the next host or recipient.
The API supports two ways to handle and proxy a SIP message. The simplest way to handle and proxy a message involves using an application manifest and setting the value of the proxyByDefault Element (Updated) element to true. This amounts to creating a script-only Lync Server 2013 SIP Application API application. The more advanced approach involves using the Microsoft.Rtc.Sip namespace to process messages and manage transactions. This corresponds to a managed Lync Server 2013 SIP Application API application.
The Lync Server 2013 SIP Application API documentation discusses application manifests and includes information about script-based and managed code-based application components.
All applications require an application manifest, regardless of whether they implement any managed components.
