There are two known problems associated with Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services. See:

Problem with Login

Bug ID CSCdv15750


Note   This problem impacts users of Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services.

In secure mode, each time a user selects any service within Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services, the service prompts for login. The problems is that after logging in once after selecting a service, the user should not be asked for login again until the user exits Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services and logs in again.

The workaround is for the user to log in first before using any of the services within Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services. Then the user will not be prompted for further logins when he accesses a service within that session.

Problem with Re-installing Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services

Bug ID CSCdv20941

When re-installing Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services, do not use the "Back" button from a server information dialog to go back to the re-installation options dialog to change the options. If you do so, the server information will be lost.

For example, if you forgot to uncheck one of the options, such as the "Change CallManager Information" box, you get a dialog box asking for the Cisco CallManager server's host name. If, instead of providing the parameters, you click the "Back" button to go back to the re-install option dialog box, the Cisco CallManager server information will be lost.

If you re-install Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services:

    1. Make sure that you uncheck the boxes for servers where the information is correct and does not require changing. By default, all options are checked.

    2. Use the "Start Copying Files" dialog that displays the settings and selections made during the installation to verify that all server host names are correct.
