AACC 6.0 Release Notes

Remote Access
The AACC product will be supported during beta trial using the Remote Desktop Connection
(RDC) Microsoft Windows utility.

This utility will allow the Avaya support or design resource to remotely access the customer
server from a remote PC and be able to administer the server as if logged in directly to that
server.

RDC uses port 3389 so this port should be enabled on all co-resident or standalone servers in
the AACC solution installed.

AACC 6.0 Release Notes

MBT and CS1000 SIP Installations


This section of the release notes deals with the AACC – Avaya MBT and CS1000 SIP
integrations. These should be used in conjunction with the Installation Guide.

1a) REQUIRED PATCHES ON MBT

The following list of patches is required for the AACC / MBT integration. Note that version
5.2.1.3.6 is the GA version of MBT, with which AACC is aligned. On top of this, the following
patches need to be added:

• AES Super Patch 2

The patch can be downloaded from the Avaya support location:

http://support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0358/5.2.x/C20106101032583
520_7

1b) REQUIRED PATCHES ON CS1000

The following list of packages and patches are required for the AACC / CS1000 integration:

Required packages for Converged Office are: 77, 153, 164, 242, 243, 324
41, 42, 43, 50, 114, 155, 214,
215, 218, 247, 311, 324
Required packages for SIP CTI are: 77, 153, 164, 242, 243, 324
41, 42, 43, 50, 114, 155, 214,
215, 218, 247, 311, 324
Apply CS 1000 Patch MPLR29656 (required for call control and reporting)
Apply CS 1000 Patch MPLR28954 (required for TR87 control on CS1k Rls 6.0 only)
Apply CS 1000 Patch MPLR28884 (resolves 1-way speech path on SIP REFER)
Apply CS 1000 Patch MPLR27991 (resolves SIP REFER issue on Sig Server)
Apply CS 1000 Patch MPLR29180 (required for DNIS Support)

2) Set configuration on CM.


It is important that agent sets for AACC are configured as per the template described in the
following screen shots. The important point to note is that 3 Call – Appearances lines on sets
is not supported. Only 2 lines should be configured on agent sets. This means that there is a
need to remove one line appearance from the default configuration.

3) Supervisor Operation

A Supervisor cannot login to CCAD. This is the same limitation as that which existed in the
NES 7.1 Express product.

The workaround is to configure an Agent-Supervisor with a Skillset set to Standby mode.


This provides the same set of features as a Supervisor and ensures that no Contact Center
calls will be routed to the agent-supervisor.

4) Music On Hold

For MBT installations, ‘Music on Hold’ is provided by the Media Services that co-reside on
the MBT platform. Details on how to configure music on hold can be obtained from the
following Aura CM document:

Administering Avaya Aura™ Communication Manager 03-300509 Issue 5.0 Release


5.2 May 2009

Note this means that the Event Handler for ‘Music on Hold’ in SCE becomes redundant for
MBT. To be clear, this means that the Event Handler for ‘Music on Hold’ should not be
configured for MBT installations, as this will result in duplicate music files being played to the
party on hold (one from MBT, the second from the MAS).

5) DN to CC Transfer / Conference Call Flows

Avaya Inc Proprietary 20


AACC 6.0 Release Notes

The following call flow is not supported for MBT Integration with AACC. This is the same
limitation as that which existed in the NES 7.1 Express product, as the call flow in question is
not a typical contact center call flow.

- Agent is active on a DN call (i.e. a call that was made out from the agent set, or a call
that came directly to the agent’s DN).
- This call cannot be transferred/conferenced to the Contact Center’s Route Point
Address.

6) Default URI

In a SIP-enabled AACC the Default URI needs to be explicitly configured. The reason for this
is that since the call is not anchored on a VDN on the CM, there is no default destination to
send a call that has encountered a routing issue.

The Default URI can be configured in the Global Settings page of CCMA, and should be
configured as a numeric value.

7) TLS Certification

The TLS certification between the AACC and the AES needs to be completed to ensure that
Agent sets can be controlled by AACC. The knowledge transfer slides have covered this
certification and should be referred to here:

http://uconnect.demoavaya.com/atk00884oenevent/event/event_info.html

8) If using trunks, CM should be configured with adequate resources to support incoming


and outgoing calls. For e.g. trunk-to-trunk transfer, this may need to be enabled in CM ->
sat -> ‘change system-parameters feature’ -> Trunk-to-Trunk Transfer.

9) Known Limitations (as per the Product Spec)

a. SIP Sets are not Supported, H323 sets only.


b. Networking is not supported
c. Support for IM Contacts on MBT is not available in AACC Rls 1.
d. No Call Forward settings can be configured on Agent Sets.

Avaya Inc Proprietary 21


AACC 6.0 Release Notes

Configuration Issues
Transport Layer Security (TLS) configuration Issue

An issue has been observed when creating the Server certificate for AES. The issue was
caused by an incorrect time zone setting on the MBT server. The time zone was set to
Etc/GMT+1, but should have been Europe/Berlin, which is GMT+2 (during Daylight Savings
Time). This meant that the Cert would not be activated until an hour later since the time zone
was incorrect.

Resolution:
To avoid this problem, ensure that the time zone on the MBT server is correct.

Q02138231 IM Presence data not populated in Server Config GUI


1) IM Proxy fields are not being populated in the GUI. If IM Presence is selected during the install
the data is written correctly to the database and registry, but it is not being loaded in the GUI. If a
user enters the data and applies the changes, the changes will be applied correctly, but they won't
be loaded on a reload of Server Config.

2) After upgrade from Essential CTI check box is selected but associated fields show as disabled.
The data is still populated. If the user deselects & then reselects the check box it functions as
normal.

3) Presence, Registration and CTI fields only validate IPs and not FQDN.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol selected


SIP Contact Centre (CC) has the ability to communicate in UDP, TCP and TLS protocols. Avaya
MBT requires that secure communication for CTI control be established between it and any
client who wishes to communicate with it. Transport Security Layer (TLS) is the required
protocol used to establish this secure communication.

Once the system has been configured to use TLS for CTI control, to enable SIP to communicate
in TLS a new utility has been created called Certificate Manager, see Appendix A for textual
description of how to use the Certificate Manager. This utility will allow the customer to create
and store certificates in a secure manner on the server and then enable TLS communication
with Avaya’s MBT.

Appendix B also contains a series of screen shots on how to use the Certificate Manager. This
complements Appendix A which has more detail.

Note: Services must be restarted if the securities certificates have not been configured
beforehand see Appendix A; and/or if TLS has been selected from another protocol already
been used, i.e. A change from TCP to TLS for example. This is due to the fact that SIP needs to
load in the security certificates once they have been created and this can only be done on start-
up.

Avaya Inc Proprietary 22


AACC 6.0 Release Notes

Appendix C is a step by step guide on how to sign a certificate, get a root certificates from a
Certificate Authority. This appendix has a series of screen shots which will guide the user
through this process.

SIP Resiliency Issues


Acquisition failure for agents connecting to CCT following a HA switchover.

Upon connecting to CCT, multiple agents could get an acquisition failure error after a HA
switchover. The reason this occurs is because all the CSTA sessions for agent's DN have been
used up. This will happen to an agent who has not received any voice calls during the
switchover. The solution is to increase number of sessions for the DNs (the default number of
sessions per DN on CS1K is set to 3).

Procedure steps
Step Action
1 Contact the Avaya Communication Server 1000 expert to make configuration changes to
number of sessions for a DN.

HA Utility becomes unresponsive


After a large number of switchovers, the HA utility may become unresponsive and a delay will be
noticed between switching between tabs.

Procedure steps
Step Action
1 If this occurs, launch Windows Task Manager. The HA utility will be running under a
java*32 executable. Kill this process and re-launch the HA utility. This operation will have no
effect on the HA operation

Media Application Services (MAS)


All SIP Contact Center Installations require a MAS server to provide media services. This
section details the steps required to install the latest MAS QFE (Patch) on the MAS server.
There is also a section detailing the MAS upgrade process for Pre-GA installations.

Installing MAS QFE

A QFE (MAS Patch) is available for the GA Contact Center MAS build (MAS 6.4.0.153) and
should be applied to all MAS systems, both Co-Res and standalone. The QFE (QFE-platform-
6.4.0.153-0001-win.zip) is available from the following location:

http://support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0793/6.0.x/C201089102458380_9

Please download the file and extract the README.txt file to a separate location. Then follow the
instructions contained within the readme to install the QFE on your MAS.

Upgrading Pre-GA versions of MAS

Contact Center MAS installations installed with a DVD Version lower than the GA (152) version,
have the Beta (6.4.0.112) build of MAS installed. These installations must have the MAS
installation upgraded to the GA (6.4.0.153) build.

Changes to CCMA Backup & Restore


1. The Win2008 feature “Windows Server Backup” is no longer required on the CCMA server in
order to run backups. (Note: This feature is still required in order to restore an AACC 6.0
CCMA backup that was taken prior to this service pack.)
2. CCMA data is now backed up to one single file. The file-name is auto generated using a
current date /time and is a .package extension. This allows multiple backup files to be
created on a single network share (this was not supported by Windows Server Backup)
3. There is no limitation on using FAT32 partitions to store backup files.
4. The backup procedure is identical to that used prior to this update; the output will be in a
“.package” format.

CCMA Restores:
This procedure has changed and is illustrated by the screen captures below:
1. Click on the Restore Tab to being the CCMA restore.

2. Choose the backup file to restore. These are date/time stamped by default.

Q02164298 CCMM: MCMC Service restarting after service shutdown on SIP/CoRes Systems
The MCMC service restarts intermittently after getting shutdown. This is due to the service recovery
settings in Windows Service Control. By default these are set to restart the service after 1 minute if
it terminates. On shutting down the MCMC service there is an intermittent issue where the service
terminates instead of shutting down cleanly hence the service is restarted by service recovery.
Workaround(to get MCMC service to remain shutdown):
Switch off the failure recovery in Windows Service manager using the following steps:
1. Launch Start->Run
2. Enter “services.msc” and enter
3. Select the service “CCMM Multimedia Contact Manager”, Right click and select properties.
4. Select the “Recovery” tab.
5. Change the settings under First, Second and Subsequent failures from “Restart the Service”

Appendix A – Certificate Manager User Guide

Certificate management for SIP-CCMS


Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer control (signaling)
protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more
participants.

In Next Generation Contact Center, SIP-CCMS enables secure communication


between the Media Application Server (MAS) and the PABX platform.

The SIP CTI link between CCMS and AES employs the protocol, Transport
Layer Security (TLS), to provide this secure communication. TLS is enabled
through the use of signed security certificates, utilizing public and private
encryption keys, which enable SIP-CCMS to recognize other servers over a
network.

The SIP-CCMS Certificate Manager is a graphical user interface application


which is password protected. It generates certificate signing requests (CSR).
Certificate Authorities use the certificate signing requests to create a signed
certificate. The certificate Authority also supplies a root certificate. The signed
and root certificates are stored in the Certificate Manager.

A signed certificate has to be signed by a certificate authority. The certificate


manager does not have this feature.

Prerequisites
• Install Contact Center Manager Server. See Avaya Next Generation
Contact Center Installation (NN44400311).
• Commission Contact Center Manager Server. See Avaya Next Generation
Contact Center Commissioning (NN44400312).

When the Certificate Manager has generated a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), it must be

communication channel with another server.

The user has the choice of several companies which deal with signing certificate signing
requests for customers. The other option is to promote a windows server to be a certificate
authority, but please note this private CA will not be trusted by other companies and is trusted
inside that organisation sphere of influence only.

Avaya Inc Proprietary 44


AACC 6.0 Release Notes

The rest of the fields are optional. They can be left blank if desired. But it is
recommended to fill in these fields if an external Certificate Authority is
signing a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Attention: The FQDN must be the full machine name of the server that the Certificate
Store resides on. It is also case sensitive. This field is auto populated with the FQDN
read from the underlying operating system. It can be modified if required. The
password fields have been pre-populated with a default password “__avaya” (double
underscore followed by name). This can be changed to a bespoke password if
desired

5 Once all of the information required is entered, Select Create Store, the
private key is created that is used in the private-public key encryption.
6. This will automatically bring up the Certificate Request tab displaying the

Generating a Certificate Signing Request File


The Certificate Manager generates Certificate Signing Requests (CSR)
automatically when the store is created. The Certificate Request tab is shown to
the user when they first create the Certificate Store.

The tab displays the contents of the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file which
can be copied directly and signed. Or if they wish to, the tab also displays the
location of the physical CSR file on the hard disk. This can also be copied and
emailed to an external Certificate Authority for signing.

The customer can take the CSR to a Certificate Authority or its own Certificate
Authority and receive a signed security certificate. The system can use the
signed security certificate to configure a trust relationship between servers.

If the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is not signed straight away, the next time
the user logs in they have to select the tab and the contents of the CSR file will
still be present along with the Signing Request Status field indicating Pending
status.

Once signed and placed into the store via the Add Certificate Tab this status will
change to Signed status to indicate to the returning user that this CSR has been
signed already.

Prerequisites
• Speak with your System Administrator on how to obtain a signed certificate
and root certificate from a Certificate Authority.
• Save both signed and root certificates as DER format using the custom
AES template.

Procedure steps
StepAction
1 Log on to server containing the store.
2 Click Start, All Programs, Avaya, Contact Center, Common Utilities.
3 Select Certificate Manager.

Adding a Certificate File to the Certificate Store


The certificate manager can add both signed certificates and Certificate
Authority root certificates to the store. There are two options when adding
signed and root certificates.

Automatically

This is where the user selects the folder which contains the signed and
root certificates. Once folder is selected they can select Add all
Certificates which will automatically determine which a signed
certificate is and which is a root certificate and add them to the store
accordingly.

Note: If multiple signed and root CA certificates reside in the store, the
will all be added blindly, but there can only be one signed certificate
and if one exists already the user will be prompted to overwrite or
cancel the operation. Subsequent signed certificates are then added
but are not used in this release.

Manually

This is where the user can browse for individual signed and root CA
certificates and are added on a one by one basis. There are individual
fields specifically for signed and root CA certificates.

A check is performed before the certificate of choice is added and if an


attempt to add a signed certificate in the root CA certificate field the
user will be informed.

The same applies in the manual insertion of signed certificates, if one


exists already the user will be prompted to overwrite or cancel.

Troubleshooting

Keytool is the command line tool that can be used to add/remove/etc items from a Certificate
store. You can use this to see if the certificates have been added.
Keytool is part of the JRE and a quick search should locate it on the hard disk. Generally it is in
the following location:
C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\java\jre\bin
So some simple commands to check out the keystore
Check which certificates are in a Java keystore

keytool -list -v -keystore D:\Avaya\Contact Center\Manager Server\iccm\sgm\TLSCertificates\sgmkeystore

This will list out the contents of the store

Delete a certificate from a Java Keytool keystore

keytool -delete -alias XXX -keystore D:\Avaya\Contact Center\Manager


Server\iccm\sgm\TLSCertificates\sgmkeystore

XXX in our case is cacert or signedcert

How to … prepare for security certificates


Certificate Manager

The new Certificate Manager utility has the ability to generate certificate signing requests (CSR).
The generation of these files is only the first step in obtaining a security certificate for the SIP
contact center. See Appendix A for step by step guide of the Certificate Manager
The next step is to sign the request, and to do this requires the following infrastructure to be in
place beforehand.
Note: To establish TLS communication not only is a signed certificate required, but also a CA
Root certificate. This document will show you how to obtain both

What you need to sign a CSR – Infrastructure


There are two choices when signing a CSR.

1. Go to a commercially available security certificate company and get them to sign the CSR.
This would involve a fee for a proper security certificate OR you could get a temporary certificate
with limited life from them for free. Either way you would have to pick one and send them the
CSR file to be signed.
2. Make one of your servers/domain controllers a Certificate Authority and sign the CSR inside
your own organisation. This has obvious advantages in that you can sign as many certificates as
you want and they are free with no time limitations. Disadvantages are that you CANNOT use
these certificates outside your organisation as other organisations would have no idea who
signed the certificates and therefore will not trust them.
To make a Windows 200X server a CA you need the OS DVD and add/Remove windows
components and install the additional CA component. Windows installation guides should have
the relevant information on this procedure.
So once you have a CA in place you can sign the CSR file.

Signing the certificate request (CSR)


The following steps are based on having your own CA and not using a third party CA
Using the CA web service to issue requests http:\\ CAserverName\certsrv we perform the
following steps.
NOTE: When creating certificates for SIP CC and MBT connectivity there is a requirement for a
custom certificate template. It is based on a Web Template but with the addition of Client and
Server Authentication. Please refer to Annex D of the Avaya Aura Application Enablement
Services Implementation Guide for MS LCS 2005 or MS OCS 2007 on how to create this
template.
Create this custom certificate template on your CA before attempting to sign a certificate that is
to be used for SIP CC  MBT connectivity
Enter in the Administrator username and password: This allows access to the CA server web
site. See below

Access to the site gives you several options

AACC 6.0 Release Notes

The next stage is where we copy the contents of the CSR file generated earlier into the Saved
Request field. SIP CC and MBT require a custom template to be generated; it is basically a
Web Server template with the addition of client and server authentication. Create this
template and name it appropriately and then select it in the Certificate template drop box,
The screen show below shows a standard web Server template; please use the custom
one you have created instead.

Now hit the submit button to generate the signed certificate.


Leave the encoded option in DER and select the Download certificate link

Save the file onto your server. It will be named certnew.cer.

Obtaining a CA Root Certificate


Again based on having your own CA. If you have selected a third party CA then they will
