Reset Cisco Jabber fails to reset Jabber. Jabber appears to be resetting and then comes back and has the same user name already in the username box. This is happening with two PCs now. One is Windows 10 and one is Windows 7. Uninstall nor deleting CSF folder seems to work. Is there something that could be stuck in Windows registry?

This is most likely cause by Jabber's default UPN discovery. Please install jabber from command line with UPN disabled.
msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi UPN_DISCOVERY_ENABLED = false

Hi,
installation via cli did not solve the issue. We are using WIN7 here. Issue occurs with Jabber 10.6.6 and 11.8.
Need to delete the registry keys in order to have a clean Jabber.
Does anyone have these information ?
Regards
Jens

Hi Jens,
Did you ever resolve this issue? A customer of ours is having a similar issue now. They reset but the username is still present and they are unable to change any advanced settings.

Anyone care to update this thread? Anyone find a resolution to this issue? Why does it seem that every Cisco product is endlessly buggy?

Hi,
sorry for the late reply.
This works for me here:
Deletion of the file: jabber-bootstrap.properties
Path: "%programdata%\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber"
Deletion of all folders and files here:
"%LocalAppData%\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber"
"%AppData%\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Config"
"%programdata%\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber"

MDs suggestion resolved the issue for me.
msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi CLEAR=1 UPN_DISCOVERY_ENABLED=false TFTP_FILE_NAME=jabber-config-chat-only.xml
Note:
1. Remove the spaces in MD's command between UPN_DISCOVERY_ENABLED = false - it should be
UPN_DISCOVERY_ENABLED=false
2. The username was still present UNTIL I reset Jabber one final time. Resetting it WITHOUT using MD's UPN switch would NEVER delete the username.
3. I'm mapping my Jabber Chat Only configuration to the file name "jabber-config-chat-only.xml which is shown here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Options>
<Start_Client_On_Start_OS>true</Start_Client_On_Start_OS>
<STARTUP_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED>True</STARTUP_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED>
</Options>
<Policies>
<Telephony_Enabled>false</Telephony_Enabled>
</Policies>
</config>
With that set of switches, I disable telephony (this is a chat only deployment), I configure the client to auto-start, BUT most importantly, I prevent the password from being cached forcing the end user to manually enter the password to authenticate.
We sync CUCM to AD every 8 hours. When an AD user passes the 60 day password reset policy, they use Ctl-Alt-Delete and modify their AD password for security compliance purposes. They are then able to login to their PC on the network and Jabber auto-launches with cached credentials (old password).
At this point - AD has their NEW password and CUCM still contains their OLD password because the sync interval is 8 hours. Because their username and password are hard-coded into Jabber, what I've found is often users forget to modify their Jabber password and Jabber will continue to authenticate successfully against CUCM because it contains their OLD password until the 8 hour sync interval has expired. Once AD - CUCM sync has occurred, their Jabber account locks out their AD credential because the CUCM db has their NEW password but they have not modified the previously cached password in their Jabber client.

Hi there
I bet you could open up a TAC as there is no workaround listed. But you can see that the bug is fixed from Cisco side. You might need some hotfixes.
Hope this Helps
Cheers
Rath!

I question whether or not this is being caused by Windows passing windows credentials to the Jabber client? Bug referenced does not seem relevant to what we are experiencing.
