Introduction

This document provides information on how to install and uninstall the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool on a standalone server that is designated specifically for the tool. It also provides information on viewing the installation logs, aborting the installation, and so on.

You install the tool on a standalone server that does not run any other applications. Cisco does not support running the tool on a Cisco Unity or Cisco CallManager server.

When you install the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool from the VPT installation disk, the following components are installed automatically:

•Java Developer Kit (JDK), if it does not already exist on the server.

•Tomcat, even if it is already installed on the server.

Installing Tomcat with the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool does not overwrite other instances of Tomcat that may exist on the server.

During the installation, you must specify whether you want the Tomcat web server to connect to the client through a secure connection (SSL) or a nonsecure connection. If you choose to use SSL, you must either create a self-signed certificate that is installed on the server or you must specify a valid existing certificate that was issued by a certificate authority (for example, a VeriSign certificate).

To configure Tomcat, you must specify a HTTP port that Tomcat can use to listen for requests. The installation determines whether the specified port is available for use; if it is not available, the installation prompts you to enter a different port, which is validated again by the installation.

Tomcat is installed as a Windows service. Every time that the server is rebooted, the Voice Provisioning Tool Tomcat service is started automatically.

•Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE), if MS SQL Server does not already exist on the server.

If the package determines that MS SQL Server does not exist on the server, MSDE is installed automatically. After MSDE is installed, the installation starts the MSSQLSERVER service, which is required to create the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool database.

•The Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool software.

If you choose to use the default installation directory, the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool executable, Setup.exe, is installed in C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Voice Provisioning Tool.

In the installation directory, a folder named Extra contains sample bulk files that you can use for bulk operations. For more information on bulk operations, see the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool User and Phone Management Guide.

•Cisco Unity 4.0(5) plug-in.

•Cisco CallManager 4.1(3) plug-in.

---

Tip Plug-ins are modules that extend the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool capabilities by adding support for various products and/or features; each plug-in is delivered as a single binary file that includes all components required to work with a single product.

Post-Installation Considerations for the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool

After you enter the temporary superadmin password during the installation, an administrator account named superadmin automatically is created and associated with the predefined SuperAdmin role, which allows all permissions available in the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool. After the installation, you should change the superadmin password, as described in the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool System Management and Security Guide.

Along with the superadmin account and Super Admin role, two other predefined roles automatically are created during installation: Full Provisioning, which allows all provisioning actions on all product systems that the VPT manages (but does not allow configuration of settings in the tool itself); and View-only Provisioning, which allows associated accounts to search for and view users and phones on all product systems but does not allow any configuration changes. These roles assist you in setting up the VPT, but you can create additional roles that are tailored to your deployment needs and add new administrator accounts that you can associate with any number of these roles.

The Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool System Management and Security Guide describes these and other tasks that you can perform after the installation, for example, how to stop and start the Voice Provisioning Tool Tomcat service, configure your product system, configure a SSL connection after the installation, change the Tomcat port number, and so on.

For information on how to access the VPT graphical user interface, see the "Accessing the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool Graphical User Interface (GUI)" section.

Accessing the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool Graphical User Interface (GUI)

By using the VPT GUI, you can view, add, update, or delete a single user/phone or multiple users/phones at the same time. The following procedure, which describes how to access the VPT GUI, assumes that your system meets the criteria that is specified in the "System Requirements" section.

---

Tip The Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool website uses pop-up windows. If you have pop-up blocker software installed, configure it to enable pop-ups for this site. For other browser considerations, see the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool System Management and Security Guide and the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool User and Phone Management Guide.

---

To Access the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool GUI

---

Step 1 Open a supported web browser.

The URL that you enter to access the tool depends on the following factors:

•Whether SSL is enabled.

•The HTTP port number that you configured during or after the installation.

---

Tip To perform provisioning tasks in the GUI directly on the host server, double-click the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool icon displayed on the desktop.

---

Step 2 If SSL is enabled, use the following formula as a guide when you enter the URL:

https://<server name or IP address>:<port number>/vpt

Step 3 If SSL is disabled, use the following formula as a guide when you enter the URL:

http://<server name or IP address>:<port number>/vpt

---

Changing the Default Administrator Password After the Installation

After the installation completes, for security purposes you should log in to the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool web interface and change the login password for the superadmin account that was created during installation. Perform the following procedure.

To Change the Default Administrator Password

---

Step 1 Access the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool GUI, as described in the "Accessing the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool Graphical User Interface (GUI)" section.

Step 2 After the GUI displays, enter superadmin in the Admin ID field.

Step 3 In the Admin Password field, enter the temporary Superadmin password that you entered during the VPT installation.

Step 4 Click Login. You will be prompted to change the default password as soon as you log in.

Step 5 Click Change.

---

Note For detailed information on password recommendations, see the "Configuring System Security" chapter of the Cisco Voice Provisioning Tool System Management and Security Guide.

---

Step 6 When you have successfully changed the password, click Continue.

---

Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

From this site, you can perform these tasks:

•Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

•Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

•Register to receive security information from Cisco.

A current list of security advisories and notices for Cisco products is available at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

If you prefer to see advisories and notices as they are updated in real time, you can access a Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed from this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

•Emergencies — security-alert@cisco.com

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.

•Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

•1 877 228-7302

•1 408 525-6532

---

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
