Compatibility Matrix for Cisco Unity Connection
This document describes different combinations of the softwares, such as operating systems and web browsers to access voicemails using various client applications. It also provides the information on different version combination for SCCP, SIP, and video integration of Cisco Unity Connection with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Matrices for Unity Connection 11.x and Cisco Business Edition 6000/7000
This section provides the compatibility matrices of the different operating systems of Unity Connection 11.x and Cisco Business Edition 6000/7000 with the following web applications or clients:
- Cisco ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook
- Web Inbox
- Mini Web Inbox
- IMAP Clients
- Messaging Assistant and Personal Call Transfer Rules
- Cisco Unity Connection Administration
Browser Support for Unity Connection 11.x
Consider the following points with reference to different Unity Connection applications:
Web Inbox
- Cisco Unity Connection uses Flash Player for recording voice messages through Web Inbox. However, Adobe has announced end of life for Flash Player. Hence Cisco Unity Connection 11.5(1) Service Update 8 and later, replaces the Flash Player with Web Real-Time Communication(Web RTC) to record voice messages using HTML5 in WebInbox.
- By default, SSL connection
for Jetty server is disabled in Unity Connection and SSL is enabled for web
browsers. To enable auto refresh functionality in Web Inbox, either the
administrator needs to enable Comet Notifications over SSL feature or the end
user needs to disable the SSL settings on the browser. To disable the SSL
settings on a browser, the end user needs to follow the given steps for
specific web browsers:
- In Internet Explorer, the message Only secure content is displayed, arises when you visit a website that contains mixed content i.e. encrypted https and non-encrypted http on the same web page. On this message window when you select the Show all content button, auto refresh works fine.
- In Firefox, when you select the security shield in the web address bar and select Disable protection mode, auto refresh works fine.
- In Chrome, when you select the security shield in the web address bar and select Load unsafe script, auto refresh works fine.
Mini Web Inbox
- Cisco Unity Connection uses Flash Player for recording voice messages through Mini Web Inbox. However, Adobe has announced end of life for Flash Player. Hence Cisco Unity Connection 11.5(1) Service Update 8 and later, replaces the Flash Player with Web Real-Time Communication(Web RTC) to record voice messages using HTML5 in Mini Web Inbox.
- Make sure the trusted certificate of the certification authority is added to the Trusted Root Store on the user workstations in order to access the notifications via email and the voice message via Mini Web Inbox. For more information on how to configure the trusted certificate on Unity Connection, see the "Securing the Connection between Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and IP Phones " chapter of the Security Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, Release 11.x, available at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/11x/security/b_11xcucsecx.html .
- Make sure to perform the steps to configure the HTML notification on user workstation. For more information on how to configure the HTML notifications, see the "Configuring Unity Connection for HTML-based Message Notification" section of the "Configuring an Email Account to Access Cisco Unity Connection Voice Messages" chapter of the User Workstation Setup Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, Release 11.x, available at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/11x/user_setup/guide/b_11xcucuwsx.html .
