[cisco-voip] UC 9 Experiences / Oddities

[Nate VanMaren]

1st I don't play with CUP so I cannot speak to that.

2nd item, I always change to IP addresses, but I also always have CA signed certs that include the ip address as a SAN, but I haven't seen any trouble.

3rd item, Unity Connection has supported E.164s for everything but primary extension since 8.6.1.  In 9.0 the added primary extension, I am running 9.0 CUC right now and I know MWIs with + still work.

4th Item, I haven't seen case sensitive usernames for a long long time, I know 9.0 and 9.1 using active directory LDAP the usernames are not case sensitive.

You may want to open a TAC case on these issues, because it's stuff that should be working.

Morning (evening) all,

I was wondering what everyone thought of the new version 9 suite. What have the experiences been like?
Just some things I have noticed...

Firstly I had installed CUCM 9.1 and CUC 9.0 in my lab which was fine and then went to install CUP 9.1.
Tried to do the upgrade during install (both via local and SFTP) and CUP reports invalid upgrade file.
Installed CUP 9.0 and it would not integrate with CUCM because of a version mismatch.
I had to roll back my CUCM cluster to 9.0, integrate with CUP 9.0, then roll forward. After this CUP 9.1 installed ok.

2nd,
I changed my Enterprise URLs to be IP addresses instead of hostnames and it broke my EM and directory services.
I had to regenerate the Tomcat certs and restart the service to fix the EM login service.

3rd,
CUC 9.0 does not support E.164 MWI numbers. Does anyone know if 9.1 supports E.164 all over?
When using Calling Party Transformations, the numbers presented to CUC are the transformed number so I had to set alternate extensions for my users who have E.164 DNs.

4th,
CUCM v9.0 has case sensitive usernames for authentication (ie end user pages, presence, CTI).
Does anyone know if 9.1 is the same? Our internal system is AD integrated and for some reason the usernames have capitals and fails if I use all lowercase.
However on this LAB system which is not AD integrated it seems to ignore case in usernames (which I would prefer)

Cheers
Dana
