Cannot Access Unity Express GUI - Lost Contact Error Page

[jjbaker]

I configured everything through the CLI so the first time I logged on to the CUE GUI I selected the 'skip and logoff' option. Now when I try to login I get the lost contact error screen and it will not accept a new username/password.

When I do a 'show sysdb /sw/apps/gui' on the CUE it is missing the username and password and when I run a 'debug ip http authentication' from the CME I get a single line stating incorrect/invalid password or something like that.

I have verified that the username and passwords are all the same and can log into the CCME web page.

Can someone please help me set the CUE to re-run the initialization wizard or figure out a way to get the 'show sysdb /sw/apps/gui' to show a valid username and password?

I do see the username I am trying to use on the CUE and it is associated with the Administrators group and given SuperUser and ChangePrompts rights. I have also changed the password on the CUE several times to try and match them up with no luck.

What version of CUE and IOS (and CME) is this? So when you do a 'show telephony admin' from IOS, you see a system admin such as:

web admin system name admin password mypass

You don't have secure HTTP configured? I.e. you can log in to CME with just http://, not https://

The later versions of CUE all just do a local authentication. I.e. if you have a user/password configured that is part of the Administrators group (with superuser rights). Then if it can't contact CME, it will pop up a window where you specify the hostname/username/password of the CME.

Hi JJ,

I know this was an issue in 2003, but I am hoping you have resolved this CUE authentication issue?

If so can you please let me know what the solution was?

Many thanks,

Nico
