[cisco-voip] URGENT - Error in Unity connection "Unable to communicate with service control center"

[ROZA, Ariel]

Guys,

 

A coworker upgraded a Unity Connection server from v. 2.x to v 8.7, and is having problems. Unity does not record the voicemails in the user´s mailbox, and when he tries to log on to the Service Control Center he gets the error "Unable to communicate with service control center. The password for administrator (the administration account that was created during installation) may be locked out or expired."

 

The troubleshooting guide hast the following solution, but it seems incomplete:

 

Error: Unable to communicate with service control center

When logging in to the Serviceability page, this error message is received:

Unable to communicate with service control center. The password for appadministrator (the administration account that was created during installation) may be locked out or expired.

Solution

The cause of this error is that the value of encryptiontype in tbl_credential for the appadministrator is set to 3 instead of 4. Complete these steps in order to make it as a valid application user:

1.     In order to verify that the encryption type should not be 3 for the appadministrator user, run this command: run cuc dbquery unitydirdb select encryptiontype,objectid from tbl_credential

2.     In order to change this value to 4, issue this command: run cuc dbquery unitydirdb update tbl_credential set encryptiontype = "4" where objectid = "e875ec01-c090-475d-b7d2-af3be863eedd".

where Objectid is the ID obtained from the above step.

3.     Reset the password with this command: utils cuc reset password appadministrator

4.     Restart the Cisco Tomcat service.

The first step seems incomplete, as it has no WHERE clause to select the individual record of the administrator user. (It returns a full table with the encryptiontype of all the users defined, instead of one record) and I am not familiar with the database schema to complete the missing parts

Has anyone ran into a situation like this?

Thanks,

Ariel.
