[cisco-voip] Unity 4.2 versus 4.05 sign on

[CarlosOrtiz at bayviewfinancial.com]

ALOT as this was a 2000 user migration.  They have been Using Unity since 
2001 so the 15 years of TDM legacy means nothing to me......

just curious but how many people do you have typing in the wrong 
passwords?

on almost all of the legacy TDM systems this has been normal for the past 
15 years.

expected, but still dissappointing.
 
This is going to cause nothing but headaches from our end.
 
I thought Cisco was supposed to be "customer focused" ?

I got an answer from one of my partner SE's.  FYI for everyone. 
<B>Symptom:</B> 
After calling Unity from a primary or alternate extension and entering an 
incorrect password, Unity reprompts the subscriber to enter their ID. 
<B>Conditions:</B> 
Seen with Cisco Unity 4.2(1) when a subscriber calls Unity from a known 
extension (primary or alternate), and enters an incorrect password. In 
previous releases, if an incorrect password was entered, Unity would 
reprompt for the password. With sign-in enhancements in 4.2(1), Unity now 
prompts for the ID if an invalid password is received. 
<B>Workaround:</B> 
None. 
The Unity DE's have reported that this design modification was to fix what 
they believed to be a security hole. This will be the expected behavior 
for Unity 4.2.1 and forward. Currently there is no plan by the Unity 
Business Unit to change this behavior or give customers access to change 
the behavior.

Unity 4.2 versus 4.05







In Unity 4.05 when a user enters the wrong password they are prompted to 
re-enter their password.  In 4.2 they are prompted to enter their 
ID(extension)  AND then their password.  Is there any way to change it to 
behave like 4.05 or is this just a change we have to live with.
