Hi Jonathan, 

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to verify that Phase II has
been completed from the CLI. You can look at the MCVD logs to see if the
import is still running, but I would troubleshoot why you can't login
first. 

Phase I of the import should've configured UCCX to use the same AXL
provider as was in your 7.x cluster. The AppAdmin administrator should've
been the same too. After Phase I was done, the Application User you
specified during the install is no longer authorized to login to AppAdmin.

So, it could be the following:

1. UCCX can't contact the AXL provider server.

2. UCCX can't authenticate using the AXL provider user. I think it is this
because of the error message you're getting.

3. UCCX can't authenticate the AppAdmin administrator specified.

If you attempt to login, and pull the MADM logs 'file list activelog
/uccx/log/MADM' LIB_AXL is enabled in these by default, so you should be
able to see what is happening between UCCX and CUCM.

If the authentication of the AXL provider user is actually failing, it
means that the password is incorrect for the AXL provider, the Application
User is missing in CUCM or the user doesn't have AXL API rights. The logs
should show you what username UCCX is attempting to use for the AXL
provider, but the password will be hidden.

Thank you,
