Jabber for windows 9.2.1 - InitialPhoneSelection doesn't work if configuration is in custom config file

Hi,
my customer wanted set InitialPhoneSelection to deskphone mode, when users firs run Jabber for Windows (ver. 9.2.1).
I created custom config (configurationfile=jabber-config-deskphone.xml) but it doesn't work.
Policies>
<InitialPhoneSelection>deskphone</InitialPhoneSelection>
</Policies>
I tested it couple times and at the end I tried put configuration to default jabber-config.xml and ... this functionality start working...
Could you check guys if you have same problem with custom config file? I think that it is bug. Maybe other option don't work in custom config file.
Thanks a lot
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
This setting is only when the client is installed and started by the user for the first time. After that the client will save the user preference (what was the phone selection when the user exited the client) and use it in subsequent logins.
Having said that, can you please specify in details how exactly you did your tests or maybe test again taking the above into consideration ?
Thanks,
Christos

Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact Away status doesn't show duration

.Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 Contact "Away" status doesn't show duration. I am wondereing if it is possible with Cisco Jabber client. Microsoft OCS client used to show.

Hi,
This is currently not supported in Jabber.
If you think that this feature should be in Jabber, you can open a TAC case and do Enchancment request with them?

Jabber for Windows Install

We are deploying Jabber for windows for a customer. Without any jabber-config.xml uploaded the users are able to login without issue and they can search the corporate directory, get images....etc.
The issue is the at the ipphone field is where the users ext is located and we want to change the Work phone to reflect this. It is my understanding that this is where the jabber-config.xml file comes into play. I have created a generic file with the changes to Business phone and uploaded it to both TFTP server and restarted the service. I am able to browse to the url and see the file. When a user opens Jabber and signs in the log files show that they are downloading the file but I don't see it on the workstation, and there doesn't appear to be any errors that the file isn't available.
CUCM/IM 10.5,
Thanks,
Joe

Jabber for Windows 10.5 and global redundancy

Hi All,
I implement J4W 10.5 in a full redundant environment, that contains:
- 3 x CUCM 10.5
- 2 x Unity Connection 10.5
- 2 x IM&P 10.5
- 2 x Expressway-C 8.2.2
- 2 x Expressway-E 8.2.2
After testing, I notice that the redundancy/failover does not act the same way depending the product, sometime no.
As it is not clearly stated in the documentation, what is clearly supported as automatic failover, and what's not, when using Jabber for Windows 10.5?
In my first test, I saw that Jabber does not support failover with UnityConnection: if the primary peer is down, no more voicemail on Jabber.
If jabber run in Mobile and Remote Access, and the Expressway where it's conencted goes down, it doesn't switch to the other peer.
It will be good to have a document that relate all the redundancy and failover support with Jabber, what can we expect during the failover process.
It will help a lot of people.
Thanks
Gabriel

Yep, that's what I did now.
But keep in mind this is not really explained, even if crossing all the documentations.
There is no document explaining what behaviour to expect in Jabber in case of redundancy of all the UC components.
For the CUCM, it's not clear, and nothing is mentionned in case of MRA.
IM&P is documented, but nothing for MRA.
Expressays states about redundancy, but the behaviour to expect is not. Same for XMPP federation, no idea.
UnityConnection as well, nothing is explained.

Jabber for Windows and Ldap Contacts without CUPC license

Dear Sr:
It is possible to add a user on ldap as a jabber contact WITHOUT assigning a CUPC license to the user?
The idea is that some users on the ldap don't have jabber but we should be able to add them as a contact AND we dont want to use jabber licenses for those users or have Presence server to load balance those users.
We can add Microsoft contact as jabber contact with no issues...
Thanks

LDAP Authentication of End Users in CUCM is strongly recommended for CUPC/Jabber. When you login to CUPC/Jabber it authenticates against CUCM. If LDAP doesn't have the same password (i.e. CUCM isn't synced from LDAP) the client won't be able to do LDAP queries if using BDI. This is because it re-uses the same credentials when it attempts to bind to LDAP. If Jabber is configured for EDI, which is only even possible on Jabber for Windows running on domain-joined workstations, then this is not as critical since it would use the Windows ADSI API in the context of the logged-in user. Using EDI exclusively would rule out Jabber for Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows on a non-domain joined workstation though.
As for usernames: You can continue to use employeeNumber if you wish. You'll need to ensure that the jabber-config.xml file maps the username to this value for everything to work. Note that this will be their XMPP URI: [email protected] so be sure that you're comfortable with employee numbers being public.

Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) - All network connections fail at least once a day

Hi,
We have Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) running, with the MSI 3.2 installed as well.
At least once a day my computer stops making network connections (Outlook gets disconnected, Internet Explorer cannot connect to Google, Chrome also fails). When I shut down and restart Jabber all network IO resumes.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
I've made two problem reports for this. Is anyone interested?
Regards,
Erik Tamminga
PS. Server side we're running all 9.1 versions.

We had the same issue and logged a TAC case, and the final result was to uninstall media services as mentioned above. Obviously now you no longer have desk phone video.
The new 9.2 beta has a new media service version, and the rollout of the new 9.2 client is mid march I believe, so hopefully this rectifies the problems, because if it doesn't I think this would not be a good thing for Jabber as a product unfortunately.
Cheers

Jabber for windows logged in user count

We recently deployed Jabber for windows 9.1.3 to 4000 users over a 3 week span. I have been trying to monitor how many people are logged in and using the client. I am using both CUPS admin and RTMT to try and figure this out and am now confused as to what I am actually seeing.
When looking in CUPS under application/Jabber/user settings, I have been looking at the number of users who have a client type and version listed as I found in initial testing, those fields update when a client is launched (doesn't need to be logged in). Further testing shows this isn't always correct in that I have found a client type and version for users who do not have the client launched, and nothing for a user who has Jabber launched.
When using RTMT, the Cisco Jabber Summary produces no information, but the CUP Summary does. I see the "Current XMPP Clients Connected" chart increase through the day, but not sure if this is logged in Jabber users, or not.
I looked in the reporting on CUPS and there does not seem to be a report for clients.
Does anyone know of a definitive way to track how many Jabber clients are logged in?
CUPS 8.6.4.11900-1
CCM 8.6.2.20000-2
Jabber for windows 9.1.3
Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,
One of our clients reported the same issue to us recently, also running CUP version 8.6.4.11900-1.
This was logged with TAC and it seems we are hitting Bug ID "CSCub94611 - Blank Cisco jabber Summary page"
Details of this bug are not currently available to the public.
Issue is fixed in CUP version 9.1.1.10000-8.
The Cisco engineer also provided a CLI command to view how many users are logged in.
Command is: show perf query counter "Cisco XCP CM" "CmConnectedSockets"
Regards,
Ismail

Jabber for Windows 10.5 shows contacts from Address Book multiple times?

What would cause Jabber for Windows 10.5.1 to show a contact multiple times from the address book when searching? See attached screenshot.

I tried removing firefox and rebooting/reinstalling Jabber with no luck. I reimaged my machine and loaded 10.5.2 fresh install with no previous versions and still getting the random crash. Also, I have users who say it has crashed on them during a WebEx and have had installation problems when upgrading from 9.x to 10.5.x. Version 9 is very solid, sticking with 9.7.5. I have about 10% of my test users having varying problems with version 10.5.x, waiting till the next release. Hopefully Cisco will spend a few more weeks testing the next one before publishing it on their site.
--edit--
Also, when you finally get frustrated and want to downgrade, Jabber 10.5.x doesn't uninstall completely and you end up with an error like the image attached when you try to install v9.7.5 for example and can't install Jabber even after rebooting. I had to run Microsoft Fix It install/Uninstall option and tell it to uninstall Jabber before Windows allowed me to install an older version of Jabber. Not too happy with this release. Strange enough though, some of my users have the exact same laptop I do, same windows build, same patches, etc, and it works fine for them. Anyway, not deploying this one. Good luck.

Jabber for Windows 9.7(2)

Is Jabber for Windows 9.7(2) the fixed version for Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20140605-openssl which is Open SSL - Multiple Vulnerabilities. When I look at Bug ID of CSCup23913 on this matter it is not entirely clear.

The bug CSCup23913 shows status Fixed, however doesn't show what J4W release fixed the issue. Does anyone know what version fixed this issue?

Jabber for Windows 9.2 call stats

Does anyone know how to view call stats in Jabber for Windows 9.2 (or if it is even possible)?
Thanks, Mike

No. I mean call stats like dropped packets, codec, video resolution etc. I heard from my Cisco SE that Cisco doesn't have any immediate plans to implement this feature, which I think is a terrible oversight. How are we supposed to troubleshoot with call stats? Even an IP phone has ability to do that.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

Jabber for Windows- VM issue

I had configured Jabber for windows in windows 7, the problem is after logging into jabber client iam not able to get the "phone accounts" under options.
Iam able to call , and recieve calls but no voice mail. In the Jabber cleint diagnostic it shows username and password is wrong for voice mail.
If i have 'phone acounts' option in jabber client i could set username and password for voice mail. Iam able to telnet the unity server.
Any clue?
We have IM&Presence 9.0, CUCM 9.0
Jabber - 9.2
Tnx
Bobby

HI,
As Aron states - you can configure your client to use same login and password ID as other UC services. This will then mask the fields you see in your jabber client. This is great when you don't want your users to have to populate the fields. The less they have to do the better.
Check your Unity Connection system - is it AXL ot AD or neither ?
If you can, your better to use only one username / password across your UC environment. For now just check your setting for the VM service is not set .

Using CUPC7/CUPC8.6 and Jabber for windows...unable to access voicemail.

Using CUPC7/CUPC8.6 and Jabber for windows...unable to access voicemail.
Setup includes CUCM9.0, Unity Connection 9.0, Presence 9.0....
steps taken to configure(and results acheived)
1-users created locally on CUCM and Enabled for IM and Presence.
2-able to login to clients (CUPS7/8.6 and Jabber) but getting error Voicemail Error. The server has rejected the provided credentials. [1903]
in order to verify there is nothing wrong with the credentials...i checked on unity and i am sure it's the PIN(12345) i need to use .
Can Anyone help me out here...Thanks in advance.

It's not looking for your PIN - that is only used over DTMF-based interactions - it's looking for your CUC password. If the mailbox is synced from LDAP and you have LDAP Auth enabled on CUC, then this would be your AD password. If it's synced over AXL, not synced at all, or LDAP synced but without Auth, then there will be an alphanumeric password field on the mailbox under Edit > Change Passwords.

Jabber for Windows Voicemail Playback Issue

Hi,
I have Jabber for Windows installed and voicemail is working ok but when I playback a voicemail from the Jabber client the MWI light does not go out on the phone. If you do the opposite ie listen to a new voicemail through the phone the new message indicator goes out on jabber.
Also if you listen to the voicemail through Jabber client the voicemail plays through the PC speakers. Is there anyway in getting Jabber to direct the call to the phone so the user can pick the handset to listen like you can when listening to voicemail through the Unity Connection Web Inbox.
Thanks for you time
Regards
Neil

Hi Neil,
Playing the voicemails in Jabber should turn off the MWI light. You need to open a TAC case and sent on a problem report to debug this further.
For the second question, the only way I think you can do this is by setting Jabber to deskphone mode and then using the "Call Voicemail" button.

Cisco Jabber for Windows Voicemail issue

At this I'm in processing of implementation Cisco Jabber UC solution for big Company.
I use CUCM 9.1.2, Cisco IM and Presence 9.1.2, CUC 9.1.2, Cisco Jabber for Windows 9.6.1.
I have issue in Cisco Jabber with VoiceMail Integration - when I leave voice message for any user,
than this message is arrived only him Cisco IP Phone, but not in him Cisco Jabber.
From Cisco Jabber Connectivity status in help menu I see that VoiceMail service is successfully connected
and I see VoiceMail button in Cisco Jabber.
How can I resolve this issue?

Have you configured the UC Service profile on CUCM with both Voicemail server and mailbox servers?
