Meeting Place 8.5 Active users being moved to default group

Customer has multiple groups set up in Meeting Place 8.5 server which is getting Users from a Call Manager (8.5).
Intermittantly different Users are moved from their correct group into default group. Random occurance.
Users have not changed anything in their profile. This has happened several times in the past. Customer has to manually go in and move the User back into the correct group. New install of MP 8.5. Ideas appreciated.
Thank you.

All - what have discoverd is Meeting Place node is going away. Meetings will be held in Webex moving forward and MP should be used as an on prem audio bridge only. Some new WebEx solutions are on the roadmap.

Meeting Place 8.5 Authentication users fails

Hi all,
My customer have installed The Meeting Place 8.5 and have problem whit the authentication of the users.
They have configured the Directory Service, for import users and use the Meeting Place Conference manager to Schedule the Meetings.
When try to intro to the Conference Managers with a Directory Service user, receive an error "Wrong user ID and password combination"
The user Profile exist in the MP.
I attach some screens.
Please I need your help.
Thanks a lot
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo,
MeetingPlace Conference Manager is meant for users with Attendant or System Manager privileges on the system. Regular End users are not allowed to use Conference Manager and shouldn't be allowed. The same is observed when trying to log in to the Administration Center web interface of MP Application server. Only local user profiles can log in.
Is there a reason why the end users don't use MeetingPlace Outlook plug-in to schedule meetings via their Microsoft Outlook clients?
Here you can find more information about Conference Manager: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/meetingmanager_install.html
As for scheduling via Outlook, you can find more information here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/outlook_integration.html
I hope this will help.

Meeting Place scheduling using the outlook plugin

Hi All,
I have a question related to Meeting Place 8, for each users or user groups, we can assign the role of:
1) Can attend and host video meeting
2) Can attend video meeting
But can we choose the type of meeting during scheduling? which means I can choose to use video meeting or not.
Many thanks,
Kai

My project was originally a 6.1 project, where I used Web Start.
I delete the project, create a new one, and now for a "Standard Execution", there is no more jar signing.
But using "Run file" acts always as "Run project" : it seems that is the intentionnal and - I hope - temporary : see issue 150514 : http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=150514

Accounts being created with administrative group rights

Hello,
The server is a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise fully patched used for Shared Hosting purposes. It runs Hsphere control panel. I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening.
1) There are users being created with Administrative group rights.   Below is the EventViewer log for the user creation:
User Account Created:
    New Account Name:    username
    New Domain:    PCNAME
    New Account ID:    PCNAME\username
    Caller User Name:    PCNAME$

    Caller Logon ID:   (0x0,0x3E7)

    Password Last Set:   <never>
    Account Expires:   <never>

    User Account Control:   -
    User Parameters:   <value not set>
    Sid History:   -
    Logon Hours:   <value changed, but not displayed>
There exists entries as well where the primary group ID is changed to the Administrative group, but I am omitting such.
2) I tried to identify what Caller Logon ID:   (0x0,0x3E7) means. I found out from here:
http://blog.joeware.net/2013/01/14/2667/ that I can use LogonSessions.exe to identify it.
Output from LogonSessions.exe is pasted below (snippet):

Description: A service account that is used by the operating system
That is all great info, but I am not sure I can put together what I have learned to attempt and get closer towards identifying how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
I am a Linux person mostly, but I am comfortable following a properly explained thread regarding windows 2003 R2 Enterprise issues.
The server is fully patched and it is running Lumension security product. What's more, Norman Malware tracker, tdskiller.exe (Kaspersky) and McAfee rootkitremover.exe have been run without any apparent Malware/Virus infection
Hope someone with advanced admin skills can advise.
Thank you

Hi,
You mentioned that, “I am trying to identify how the following hack is happening”, would you please tell us that why did you think the event represent a hacking behavior?
In a Shared Server Hosting environment, the underlying hosting control panel tool (Hsphere in this case) should be creating only virtual FTP users with a specific group. So no users with Administrative group should be ever created. If this happens,
it constitutes a breach of server security=positive hacking attempt.
>how in the world users are being created and then being assigned administrative group rights.
In addition, would you please be more specific about this question? Did you find the event message on a domain joined machine?
I want to be able to understand in full how/what process is allowing users to be created with Admin rights. In other words, I want to know what IP was used to issue the command, if ASP.net was used (abused in this case), or anything else related to
it so that we can patch this particular hole.
Best Regards,
Amy

Meeting Place 8.6 Integration with Webex

Hi, I would like to get a better understanding of workflow and packet flow for MP 8.6 integration with Webex.
My customer is looking to initiate an on prem meeting with MP 8.6 via outlook scheduling /jabber (if possible). All audio and video would be on prem. Also, this would be a multipoint video call, so I am assuming an MCU would be required (unless MP 8.6 provide MCU capabilities).
Then, through a federated IM environment, my customer would like to be able to chat with an external partner via jabber and escalete the on prem MP8.6 conference to a Webex meeting to add the external partner to the meeting.
Questions
1. Are you able to walk me through how this would work?
2. Can you recommend a bill or materials based on the scenario and facts below? Right now I am assuming we need CUWL professional for required users, a UCS C210, an MCU and Webex subscription.
Current Assumptions & Questions
1. In this scenario the audio bridge would have to remain on prem and the external partner could request a call from meeting place to join the audi bridge back via Webex. Correct?
2. If am MCU is being used on prem for the multipoint video conference and the conference was escalated to a webex via jabber how many video connections to Webex would there be? Single multiplexed video from the MCU or individual video connections from on prem to Webex and Webex would combine the video sources?
3. Is Webex Node still required?
4. With MP 8.6 is scheduling still tightly integrated with Outlook?
Facts:
1. Users are a combination of CUWL standard and professional. Professional users for conferencing and mobile jabber.
2. Customer has TP envrironment which would be multipoint video participants
3. Customer has compatible CUCM and CUPS with MP 8.6
4. Jabber desktop will be installed on all clients
5. Customer is expanding PRI, ISR and DSP resources to support additional audio requirements

All - what have discoverd is Meeting Place node is going away. Meetings will be held in Webex moving forward and MP should be used as an on prem audio bridge only. Some new WebEx solutions are on the roadmap.

+ Photos remain in wrong iPhoto list even after being moved?+
+Posted: 29-Jan-2009 16:56 +
Hi,
+Has anyone else had this problem? Any workarounds?+
+I have a number of pictures that just show up in the wrong place in Places' list view, but I cannot seem to move them. For example, a photo will show up as being in state X in city Y when it was actually taken at a "Place" in state A, city B. So I click on the photo, hit command-i, type in the name of a place in A/B, and hit done. (Pressing command-i again shows the new name and a pin in the correct place.) However, the photo still shows up when I select state X and city Y from the places browser. This persists even after restarting iPhoto.+
+Any ideas?+

Im not sure why this has been closed as it is an issue for me as well,
eg, Trafalgar Square photos appear in the London Eye pushpin, but when checking the photos individually they are correct.
I am fully up to date with my software and this issue only appears to have raised itself on the latest version of iphoto (8.1 (415))
Removing the locations and re-adding them does not fix the issue you just end up with the same result or a different mixture of incorrect pictures in the push pins.

The best way to get assistance on the forum is to provide a clear and detailed description of the problem and report any steps you've already taken to solve the issue and anything that resulted therefrom.
Im not sure why this has been closed as it is an issue for me as well,
It's been closed because the User who had this issue found a solution. Only the person who creates the thread can close it. This person had no idea you even existed, let alone that you might have a similar issue. I'm sure if he had he'd have left it open, just waiting for you to come along.
Is not a resolving answer to the issue and appears to be a very narrow minded approach to resolving issues!
Let's see. Someone has an issue. They create a thread on the forum. They find a solution. They mark the thread as answered. This is narrow minded?

Meeting Place Directories service question

I have just deployed a new Meeting Place 8.0 with LDAP integration.
I have created the LDAP in CCM, and also create the directory services in Meeting Place.
However, when I checked the option "Update Now", it returns with the error
"Directory Service is not running in Active mode. Users will not be updated/deleted."
Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the Active mode?
Many thanks.

In Directory Service Configuration
for Hostname for Active Directory Service*
you should specify FQDN of App Server. If there is an IP address the above error occurs.

Meeting Place meeting ID customization

All, a different request I have been asked and am now asking you. A client would like to limit the Meeting IDs given out when a meeting is scheduled to 50 specific number strings. They have been running like this on their old meeting system for quite some time and require this feature moving forward. Apprently, they have a backup (hosted) system to which calls are re-routed where the meetings IDs are mirrored so no communication needs to be sent out to the meeting participants.
The scenario is - reception creates a meeting with a meeting ID of 10001 (for instance) and communicates that to the end user. If Meeting Place were to cease functioning prior to or during the meeting, they require that users would be able to dial the same number (after the telco have re-routed the destination to the backup hosted system) and input the exact same ID they were given by reception.
My question is, can this be done in MP and if so - where is this customization configured.
Thanks in advance for the asssitance.
Geoff

Meeting Place 8.0: Conference Manager roles can be customized?

Hi,
we are deploying Meeting Place 8.0. When we use Conference Manager to monitor a Conference, the user with the "attendant" role is able to see all the conferences on the System (active, scheduled, etc.) and the detail of them, for example, the password for that meeting, ID of the meeting, etc. and take actions for all meetings (lock it, end it, record it, etc.).The customer wants to have a user with the "attendant" role for each area (within his organization) but he wants the "attendant" to see only the conferences assigned to him or to his area.
Does anyone knows if it is possible to limit an "attendant" (role of a user) to see, or moderate only a conference that might been assigned to him or to his group.
Thanks

Vicente,
There is no way to limit what meetings an Attendant can see. The design was more around a help desk person assisting in the meeting management for large meetings. For smaller meetings the host can manage their own meetings.
Are these audio only meetings or is your system integrated with WebEx? With WebEx the host has full conrtol over the meeting using the web interface. Through the web interface they can mute and remove any meeting participants that they do not want in a meeting, also lock the meeting and record the session. The one thing they can't do is move participants into breakout session. Audio only meetings there is less control but the host can still remove the last participant and mute all participants, lock the meeting and start and stop recordings.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything.

Meeting place external calls

Hi,
We have configured meeting place with webex-node.
When internal users join the meeting we can hear eachother.
When an external user calls the ISDN number he hears all the messages from meeting place, he gives the meeting ID and after that he should hear the waiting room music, or be joined in an existing meeting, but he hears nothing.
When a meeting of some internal users is place, we can hear that meeting place anounces that user XYZ joins the meeting. XYZ being the name that external user has given. But external user can not hear anything, and internal users can not hear external user. When external user hangs up, meeting place says that user XYZ has left the meeting.
It seems that the stream of exteranl user is not mixed with the internal users.
any idea?
thanks,
JH

Meeting Place and Webex Call Back Failing

Hi
Meeting place 8.5 with WebEx scheduling, SIP trunk to CUCM 8.5.
Calling in using the specified number configured in call manager completes over the SIP trunk however call back from webex fails.
Error:
WebEx call back failed; no answer.
Problem is I never recieve a call. I have enabled Webex call backs in webex.
Seems like there is an issue on either MP or CUCM.
Just looking for some ideas as I am stumped.

This turned out to be a few things:
1) I needed to configure a SIP proxy to CUCM from meeting place. This was the CUCM IP address and TCP port number.
2) The SIP trunk security profile needed to be reconfigured for this trunk.
3) E164 was being used so I created a translation pattern to strip the + for the CSS associated with the RP.
A few things learned along the way.
1) The "activity" command ran from a SSH prompt with allow you to simulate a call from meeting place. Option 4, enter the number to dial and "f" for port.
2) In meeting place - Services -Logs - System Information Capture - Loading the index file and under the CCA SIP LOG is the error being returned by CUCM. In my case it was Warning: 399 CSLCCM1 "Unable to find a device handler for the request received on port
3) Command "cptrace" again from the SSH prompt will allow you to view the digits being sent from webex to meeting place.
I hope this information helps someone...

hi,
I have a user for whom I see a different responsibliy start date in user inquiry form than what I see in Active user report for the same user.
Any idea why it is this way?
This tells me that inquiry forma and active users are pulling responsiblity start date from different place.
Please help this is a big problame for audit.

Hi,
Please mention the application release.
Have you verified the value from the application (Security > User > Define)?
If possible, please post the query you use to get the start date.

Time issue while scheduling meeting in meeting place 8.0

Dear Team,
I am very new to Meeting Place system. Here we have version 8.0 and i am facing below issue.
While scheduling meeting when i have mentioned start time as 13.30 and end after 30 min.
but the issue is user can join the meeting before 13.30 and thats is security issue
i would like to know how to restict this. my requiremnt is user can only join before 10 min.
Regards
Hari

Hi Hari,
Is you MeetingPlace 8.0 integrated with WebEx, or it is an Audio Only solution?
If you are scheduling meetings in Audio Only solution, you can specify "Early meeting start (minutes)" variable in System Configuration > Meeting Configuration.
If you have WebEx integration and WebEx scheduling, you would need to specify a default "Join before host", but every host would have to configure that for their own profile.
