Caution Before you upgrade, ensure that you obtain and write down the SQL password. Once you

 

 

 

 

 

upgrade, the SQL password is encrypted, so if you do not have it, you will need to reset

 

 

 

 

 

the SQL password.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Client-side Sun JRE

Sun JRE 1.4.2_01 to 1.4.2_03 is excluded from the compatibility list for security reasons. The

 

compatibility

minimum requirement is JRE 1.4.2_04. However, we recommend that you install Sun JRE 1.4.2_08

 

 

or a later release on your client machine. For the Sun security defect, see the following URL:

Expiration of Cisco

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace cookies now become invalid after a number of days because of a new

 

Unified MeetingPlace

cookies

expiration interval is 90 days. For more information, see Chapter 2 in the Configuration Guide for

New Features and Enhancements in Release 5.3(104)

Feature

Description

 

 

Cisco branding

New branding and colors throughout the graphic user interface and accompanying

 

documentation.

 

 

Denial-of-service handling

Three new administration settings ensure that an overloaded server remains available

 

and can continue to provide service to existing users and legitimate incoming users.

 

 

Enhanced installation

The installer is in a self-contained software package that you can download and install

 

without Cisco involvement. This includes installing SQL Server as part of the install.

 

 

Enhanced slide caching

In lecture-style meetings, enhanced slide caching downloads three slides subsequent to

 

the slide being shown, thus improving network load and restricting guest users from

 

controlling the presentation.

 

 

Enhanced SSL administration

An improved configuration allows you to configure your systems with Secure Sockets

 

Layer (SSL).

 

 

Enhanced upgrades

Separates customizations from the main product; allowing you to maintain your

 

customizations despite web-conferencing software upgrades.
