....I think they should move the people who programmed this change over to the CallManager BU to work on forwarding from non-primary lines. ;)

Can the cisco people on this list please let the power(s) that be know that arbitrarily calling something a 'security hole' after 2 major versions in and more than 5 years into deployment for some places and NOT giving us the opportunity to keep using the same behaviour is, well, 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.

Subject 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.

Carlos
