After Expressway X8.5.2 Upgrade Jabber for iPhone and Android disconnect / wrong password

[Jakub Stroinski]

Yesterday we upgraded our Expressway C and E to X8.5.2 from X8.2.1

Now, our Jabber for iOS and Jabber for Android devices are disconnecting more frequently. When the application is re-opened, the user is told that their password is wrong. If they re-enter their password, it will connect but will disconnect again eventually.

When switching between the office Wi-Fi and the cellular network, Jabber sometimes reconnects after a long period of time or sometimes never. Sometimes it's IM that doesn't reconnect or sometimes it's Phone Services that does not reconnect.

It is difficult to pinpoint a pattern but it is visibly less stable than the previous version we were using. No other configuration changes have taken place.

Reason for upgrade was due to no ringback tone when dialing outside numbers using Expressway

[Jakub Stroinski]

For me it had to do with the port being used for the SIP trunk between Expressway-C and CUCM. We were overlapping the default 5060 which it didn't like. It wasn't clear in the documentation. But in my case Phone Services never connected through Expressway but worked internally.

It working sometimes but not others will probably require you to look at logs to find out why it's not always connecting.

Yes Jakub,

I have sorted out it by changing the port from 5060 to 5065 and it worked and now checking the ports 2776 and 2777 on firewall as it seems they are blocked between expressway-C and E.

Thanks 

[Jakub Stroinski]

Glad it worked out :)

Hopefully this can help someone else out in the future. I remember spending a lot of time on this problem. IM was working but phone services would not connect.

Hi Gents,

As i have shared the info every thing is workign fine including voice which was not working due to ports 2776 and 2777 was blocked on firewall. Now i am facgin another challenge.

I have two IM servers in HA mode and now all the users from IM pub can login while all the users which are associated with IM subs are getting error on Jabber that can not locate to the server. When i have checked their confign on Jabber Iphone i have found the automatic configuration is routing to only IM Pub server and not checking both servers. 

Any help would be great.

Hi Sheraz.

Did you configure , on user service profile both IM&P servers?

Are all users able to login while inside the corporate LAN?

Please let me know

Regards

Carlo

Hi Carlo,

Where can i check this on user service profile settings. Yes internally all users are able to login regardless of their users registration server.

Sheeraz

Hi Sheraz.

You can check it on 

"User Management" -->> "User Settings" --->> "UC Service" to check if both IM&P servers were defined.

 "User Management" -->> "User Settings" --->> "Service Profile" to see if a Service Profile has been defined and both server are there as Primary and Secondary.

Once all above is fine, check that all interested users have a Service Profile defined on "User Management" -->> "End User"

Select one user and check "UC Service Profile" value.

HTH

Hi Carlo,

Okay i have checked the both IM servers are added in also in UC service profile IM subscriber is also added as secondary server but the status is same. When i make both IM servers UP all the users which are associated to IM server 2 doesn't get login.

Br,

Hi Jakub.

I upgraded to 8.5.2 from 8.5.1 with no issue, but I found this issue after an upgrade from 8.5.2 to 8.5.3.

I think that 8.5.1 is the most stable release till now.

Cheers

Carlo

[Jakub Stroinski]

I tried 8.5.3 this morning and reverted back to 8.5.1

I was unable to reach my CUCM from Expressway C anymore. Reverting fixed the issue again. I think I might just stick with 8.5.1 since it just works

Hi all,

i start a new installation for a my custoemer with cucm 10.5.2 and expressway 8.5.2, upgraded in a second step to 8.5.3

I have complete the MRA configuration without any warnings, but form intenternet  the Jabber can't login.

the jabber client  says "wrong user or pwd".

from the Exp-c logs i can see:

not sure that I'm in the same case of other user there, but I'll try to downgrade to 8.5.1

I will update you..

I'm having this exact problem after upgrade from 8.5.1 to 8.5.3. The users are getting the invalid username or password.

I will try to downgrade to version 8.5.1.

The issue is still remains at 8.5.3 if you are using split/multiple domains, please see the following the 

links from bug tool search. From my experience 8.5.1 version is more stable for the MRA deployment.

[Jakub Stroinski]

What version of CUCM are you running? 10.5(1) is not compatible with X8.5.3. If you upgrade CUCM to 10.5(2) everything works as intended.

[Carlo Poggiarelli]

Great suggestion Jakub
