MeetingPlace Express emailing password

Hi
We are currently using version 2.1.1.2 MeetingPlace Express and have noticed that when the meeting notification email is sent out it doesn't give the meeting password, instead it just says Required.
The email template has :
<td colspan="1"><b>$notify_passwd</b></td>
<td colspan="3">$notify_password</td>
These are defined in the language file as:
notify_passwd=Password:
notify_password=$cisco_Password
Also in the language file is:
## MISC
no_password=Not required
yes_password=Required
This is the actual text that is being sent instead of the password.
Is there a way to have the email display the meeting password?
Thanks

Thanks a lot,Natasa,
It worked, but I am unable to rate this port
Regards,
Vinay

MeetingPlace Express Default Password

All,
We have just installed MeetingPlace Express 2.1. It looks as though everything is running correctly, however I can't log into the web interface. I found this PAGE and it claims that the default username is admin and the password is cisco. I tried that and it didn't work. I also know that while installing MPE it had me set a password for the web user admin, which I did, but that password is not working either.
Am I missing something on the configuration? Or is there another username that I can use?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi -
May be too late for this response - but here are the instructions from the MPE DocWiki site:
Log in to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express operating system as the mpxadmin user.
At the password prompt, enter the mpxadmin password.The system displays the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express operating system desktop.
Right-click on the desktop.
From the menu, select New Terminal. This brings up a terminal session.
At the prompt, enter userutil -p admin <'newpassword'>, where newpassword is the new password. This tells the server to set a new password for the End-User Interface and Administration Center user called admin.
On the desktop, click the Red Hat icon.
Click Log Out.
Click OK.
Hope this helps! Ginger

MeetingPlace Express Email Notification

Hello Guys,
I schedule a meeting and invite someone from outside of the company by email. The meeting creation works but no email is sent to the guess. When I go to the Email Notification Queue Status Report,in the Description field, I see the massage stating "New meeting scheduled. Queued for delivery" but never deliveried. Could you please let me know how can I resolve the email notification issue. Please note that the SMTP server is configured and it's working correctly.
Thanks,

I have the same problem. I have tested the smtp server by sending an e-mail blast, and it works just fine. But when a meeting is scheduled, the notifications just stay on the queue stating "New meeting scheduled. Queued for delivery" but never delivered.Is there something needed to be done to have the emails from scheduled meetings leave the queue?
Thanks,

Meetingplace express password recovery

Hi
Does anybody know what the procedure is to recover the mpxadmin password on MeetingPlace Express?

Hi Nizar,
The passwords you are trying to reset is for the Application user, typically used for the initial setup of UCCX. This is not to be confused with the CCX Appadmin user that would be used to login to the GUI. Since you mentioned that the user was deleted from CUCM, you would recreate or use an existing user that is an "End User" in CUCM. Once you have created this user call into TAC and we can get root access to set UCCX back to FRESH_INSTALL, then run through the initial configuration to point at the newly created or existing user in CUCM.
Thank you,
Joe

Can MeetingPlace Express make conference calls with just meeting ID and meeting password?

Hi,
We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2. It is working fine and everything but we need to change the way it works.
For audio only conference calls, we need the users to be able to initiate meetings without having to enter their profile ID and profile password.
For example when a caller dials the MPE number and presses 1 to start a meeting, he has to enter his PIN code to be authorized to start a meeting, we want to exclude this feature, so that any one who dials the number and wants to start a meeting, he will get a meeting ID and meeting password directly.
Is this possible in MPE 2 ? Appreciate your help please, thanks in advance.

I poked around a system I have nearby and can't find a setting that is an obvious choice for this one. I experience the same behavior at the 30 minute mark.
One alternate approach you may try is called a continuous meeting. The viability of this approach depends on how this is being used:
This likely will NOT work if you have lazy users who can't manage their time.
The reason is a continuous meeting always consumes the licenses for itself, even if there are not participants currently in it.
This may work if you have defined groups of users who repeatedly meet as a group in an ongoing manner.
A continuous meeting is a scheduled meeting that reserves ports and a meeting ID indefinitely, so that
participants may join the meeting at any time on any day. Nevertheless, a continuous meeting is in
session only when at least one participant is in the meeting.
I searched high-and-low for documentation on this and the only two items that I can turn up are these:
http://www.ciscosystems.org/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace_express/1_1/english/administration/guide/bagmtgs.pdf (page five)
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Express,_Release_2.x_--_How_to_Configure_Scheduled_and_Reservationless_Meetings#Enabling_Users_to_Schedule_Continuous_Meetings
One downer though: I cannot get the Continuous option to appear on my MPE 2.1.1.2 hotfix 36 (last release) system. Either I'm missing an option myself or something is wrong in this version.

Disk space problem on MeetingPlace Express

I get the email below daily. I'm thinking it's ok to cat /dev/null the cma.log file?
I also think I might be able to do the same thing to stdout.old?
Anything else I should try other than the instructions?

This is an automated message from the MeetingPlace Express system with
hostname [meeting.afgrp.com] to inform you that disk space is low.
Details on where the problem is and how to resolve it are indicated below.
Low space in partition /. Percent used = [90].
The following files might cause trouble. However, inspect each one to make sure.
Look specifically for large files with old timestamps. Also, note that some of
the files indicated might have been previously mentioned. In this case, use the
prior instructions to handle these files rather than the instructions below.
If you are uncertain, contact Cisco TAC for confirmation/advice.
For the files below, use the following procedure to empty these files rather than
   delete them outright.
         1. For each file to be emptied do:
             cat /dev/null > <filename>
         2. After all files that you wish to empty have been emptied, do:
             su   // Enter 'root' password.
             mpx_sys restart

-rw-r-----   1 root     root     127007041 Dec 22 05:30 /var/spool/compaq/cma.log
In general, to free up disk space where it is uncertain exactly what files are in question,
   do the following:
1. In general, go to places like /root, /mpxadmin, /tmp and do "ls -la" to look
     for large files. If a file is large, old, and seems like some kind of log or
     error file, it could be a candidate for deletion.
2. Generally files of type log (*.log), stderr, stdout, or txt (*.txt) are the
     best candidates to look for. A good command to look for these types of
     files with size of 10,000,000 bytes or larger is:
       find / -name "<file type>" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if( >=10000000) {print} }'
     For example, to look for all log files 10,000,000 bytes or larger on
       the entire system:
         find / -name "*.log" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if($5 >= 10000000) {print} }'
3. If you have a specific problem partition that you are trying to reduce size
     for, do the following:
     1. Find out the directory name of the top of the partition from "df".
     2. "cd" to that location.
     3. Then do: du -x -b --max-depth=1
     4. Look for the directories that are really large.
     5. Then "cd" into the worst subdirectory (or subdirectories).
     6. Get a list of all large files from current directory location and lower:
           (This example assumes 10,000,000 bytes and a check for .log files.
               Note the starting location of '.' (current location) rather
               than '/' (entire disk) ).
           find . -name "*.log" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if($5 >= 10000000) {print} }'
Complete output of the 'df' command:

Hi Josh,
It seems that the root partition of the MeetingPlace Express server is almost full. I have attached a document for your reference which can be used to minimize the disk space issues.
Once the steps mentioned in the attached document are completed, run the command "df" to check the disk space.
If you do not see much improvement in the root partition, then in that case some other files might need to be removed from the server to increase the root partition space.
If any of the partitions reach upto 90% or above, then the server might behave unexpectedly.
Feel free to revert if you have face any issues or have any queries.
Regards,
Rishabh

MeetingPlace Express Assistance

Hi All,
We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2.
We need to configure it to accept any user to make a non-scheduled conference directly, without requesting the user to enter his profile ID and profile password, and without the need to add the data of the users into the MeetingPlace.
We just need it to act as an audio conference bridge, so we need the user to dial the MeetingPlace number, then he can enter a certain password (one password for all our staff) to enable our employees to log into the MeetingPlace, and then get the Meeting ID and Meeting password and start the meeting.

Sherif,
You are going to want to export using all of the headers and leaving them intact in the import file. You will want to follow the steps below for a successful import as the system is really sensitive that the data is formatted a certain way.
Create a test user profile in MPE manually so that you can get the file format of the import file with the headers.
Export User Profiles.
Export this test user profile to a file and include the header information.
This will create a User_Profiles.txt file that you will save and then open up in Excel. (Follow these steps below to ensure that the file is formatted correctly)
1. Within Excel, click on the Open tool on the toolbar. Excel displays the Open dialog box. (To display this dialog box in Excel 2007/2010, click the Office button and then click on Open.)
2. Using the Files of Type drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, indicate that you want to open Text Files (*.prn; *.txt; *.csv).
3. Select the saved export file.
4. Click on Open. Excel starts the Text Import Wizard, displaying the Step 1 of 3 dialog box.
5. Make sure the Delimited choice is selected, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 2 of 3 dialog box.
6. Select Comma as a delimiter, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 3 of 3 dialog box.
7. Click on Finish. Your file is imported.
8. Once the file is opened up in Excel, import your users into this spreadsheet so that they conform to the necessary format and the required headers.Next, find the "isLocalUser" field and set the parameter value for al user profiles from "No' to 'Yes'. Then find the EncryptedProfilePWD and EncryptedUserPWD fields. Remove the 'Encrypted' portion of the field name in the header so that they now read ProfilePWD and UserPWD. Make sure the value for the ProfilePWD for these user profiles is a standard alpha password. (cisco) Then make sure the value for the UserPWD for these user profiles is a standard numeric password. (12345). You may just be able to leave them as they are from your import.
9. Save the file with the changes.
10. Go to the Application MPE Web Page and then Maintenance-->Import Data-->Import User Profiles.
11. Select 'Add Profiles To System', select file to import, and set Overwrite field to 'Yes". (You should also set the log information to file option.)
12. Hit 'Execute' to import the user profiles to the system.
13. Once this is completed successfully, then go check the User Profile configuration to ensure that all users are imported correctly into MPE.
If you run into any problems with this procedure, please open an SR with TAC so that we can assist further.
Thank You,
Gerry

Securing LDAP on Meetingplace Express

Hello,
I'm looking to harden the security of a MeetingPlace Express (V2.0.1.15).
SSL has been implemented successfully resulting in https browsing only.
The next step is to integrate with AD for user authentication over a secure link. The Bind requests currently are simple (i.e. clear text userid and password) which is not secure.
Can anyone advise on how this can be configured to use SSL/TLS for the LDAP queries. This is a standalone MPX in that I do not have a Cisco Call Manager to secure the queries.
Thanks.

You will need to install the AD Plugin for CallManager before this.
Complete these steps in order to integrate MeetingPlace Express with Active Directory (AD):
- Log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.
- Choose Administration at the top of the page.
- On the left side of the page:
Choose System Configuration.
Choose Usage Configuration.
- Configure these fields:
Cisco CallManager version-Set this field to Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.x.
LDAP URL-Set this field:
Make sure that this URL starts with ldap, not http. For example, ldap://server-ip-address:port/
Make sure that there are no spaces after the URL.
Directory username-Use the format of an LDAP distinguished name, for example:
Password-Use the password that was specified during the Cisco Unified CallManager installation.
Cisco base

Directory type
- Click Save.

Meeting place express email notification not working

Hi,
Facing issue with meeting place express email notification.
The SMTP e-mail exchanger rejected a recipient's e-mail address as unknown.
is the error message i get.
Ping status is fine, on firewall ports are opened as any any.
As per the exchange administrator, there is no request coming to the exchange from meeting place.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinay

I assume this is an existing system that has been working as MPE has not been sold in a long time. Was this working in the pass and just stopped working? When are you seeing this error and does it happen for all users?
Has the logon changed that MP uses to access the SMTP server? If the password changed on the SMTP server and was not updated on MP this will happen.

I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

Hi all,
iPhone 3s 16GB
iOS version: 6.1.3
ISP Bigpond Cable
I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
"Cannot Get Mail"
"The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
Any ideas?

The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

During the TBird installation I am asked to enter user/email/password but after repeated attempts only get error saying info incorrect.

After going through the Thunderbird setup on a Windows 8.1 computer, and after selecting IMAP instead of POP, I get to the point where it asks me to input name, email and password. However, when I do so, it invariably comes back and says my name and/or password are incorrect. Eventually, as I can go no farther in the setup process, I have to cancel out of setup. When I check for installed Thunderbird, Windows does not list it along with other programs in the add/delete window, I find no mention of Thunderbird, so I can't uninstall it. As I am attempting to use TBird with my gmail account, of course, the first time I tried this I got a snarky email from Google telling me that I was attempting to use an email client with lesser security, and giving me a link to go to if I wanted to continue with this less-secure strategy. I successfully set gmail to allow the installation of an email client, and again tried to install TBird, with the same result. I got another Google email acknowledging that I had reset my Google account to accept so-called less secure programs. Again, though, I got stymied at the same point and was again advised that the user name/email/password was in error.

I attempted to set up a Gmail account for my sister using Thunderbird to access her gmail account. I got the same result as the above message and could not get any further in the process than to be repeatedly told that the password or user name was incorrect, (which I knew they were not since that account has just recently been created). If I go directly to gmail, it will log on and allow her to view her messages easily, but attempting to use TBird it gives the same result every time. I take it that there is something going on with the authentication process in gmail, but it isn't clear to me what it means or how to deal with it in Tbird, so some clarification and elucidation would be really appreciated, she wants to use TBird since that is what she is used to and understands, and I would like to be able to insure that she can. My wife has a gmail account that is accessed through TBird and there is no problem with it and logging on to view the account, but my sisters new account is unaccessible with TBird.

My email password and my verizon account password are the same? Are you SERIOUS?

The other day I did something I never do, actually log into my verizon account. I hate the verizon interface, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than use it, but every now and then I have to use it to handle a bill. So, of course the password that I remembered setting on it didn't work. So I jumped through the hoops to reset the password, conducted my business, and left the site, hopefully not to return for a year at least.
Lo and behold, the next time I tried to access my email (which I use Thunderbird for, and don't tell me it's not a supported client, it works fine, and no I'm not going to use Verizon's webmail interface), it won't accept my email password. Now, this password HAD always been distinct from my verizon account password. But...telling myself, "Oh no they didn't," I tried using the new password that I'd set for my online account. Surprise! It let me into my email!
Now, this morning, neither the new password nor my old email password are being accepted.
So, I have two questions, apart from the existential "why does Verizon feel the need to torture its customers like this":
1)Are they SERIOUSLY requiring you to have the SAME password for your email AND your My Verizon Account?
2)If, as I hope and pray, the answer to 1 is "hellz no", how can I change just my EMAIL password?
Anticipating a reply of, "No, it's just one password, because we've decided that's MORE secure, and your whole problem is that you're using Thunderbird, because ummmm somehow Thunderbird renders passwords into ancient Greek before it submits them and so it won't work, but of course some dull-normal client like Outlook WILL work, and don't ask me the details because I'm really not very technical, but apparently I'm technical enough to tell you that your client is no good"...

Yes, the passwords are the same now. Verizon made a big push a while back to give customers a single login. They merged everyone's accounts, not because it is more secure, but because they think customers will find it easier. No, there is no way to change just your email password.
And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using Thunderbird. Many of us have it configured for verizon.net addresses, and it works just fine.
Wish I had a better answer for you...

How do i stop my ipad from asking for a new email password

My work email is on my ipad. I changed my password at work and it is asking for the new password on my ipad. It won't take my new password and it won't let me out of the loop to even use my ipad for anything, including disconnecting my email. How do I by pass the email password question so I can use my ipad?

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server. The new password is working on my home computer. I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
Thank you,
