[cisco-voip] Serious 11.5 installation defect

[daniel at ohnesorge.me]

Hi All,

Just wanted to make you all aware of a serious installation defect with 
11.5 that the Cisco DE's are currently investigating and will soon be 
raising a new defect against.

Basically, the CUCM Publisher installation goes ahead fine but once you 
try to install any subscriber (including the CUPS DB PUB), the 
installation will fail after all Network and Connectivity checks passed. 
It has taken TAC, BU and DE's 2 weeks to figure out what was going 
wrong, it turns out that the password used for the Application User is 
too long (even though it is withing documentation guidelines). The 
password I used was 1 Uppercase, 14 lowercase, 1 number and 1 special 
character (underscore). DE's have been able to replicate the issue in 
the lab using the same complexity. When using a password such as 
ipcbu123 the installation is successful. This affects CUCM, CUPS and 
CUC.

Thanks,
Daniel
