Step 4

hostname(config-uc-ime)# ticket epoch n password

Configures the ticket epoch and password for Cisco

 

password

Intercompany Media Engine.

 

Example:

Where n is an integer from 1-255. The epoch

 

hostname(config-uc-ime)# ticket epoch 1 password

 

password1234

contains an integer that updates each time that the

 

 

password is changed. When the proxy is configured

 

 

the first time and a password entered for the first

 

 

time, enter 1 for the epoch integer. Each time you

 

 

change the password, increment the epoch to

 

 

indicate the new password. You must increment the

 

 

epoch value each time your change the password.

 

 

Typically, you increment the epoch sequentially;

 

 

however, the ASA allows you to choose any value

 

 

when you update the epoch.

 

 

If you change the epoch value, the current password

 

 

is invalidated and you must enter a new password.

 

 

Where password contains a minimum of 10 and a

 

 

maximum of 64 printable character from the

 

 

US-ASCII character set. The allowed characters

 

 

include 0x21 to 0x73 inclusive, and exclude the

 

 

space character.

 

 

We recommend a password of at least 20 characters.

 

 

Only one password can be configured at a time.

 

 

The ticket password is stored onto flash. The output

 

 

of the show running-config uc-ime command

 

 

displays ***** instead of the password string.

 

 

Note The epoch and password that you configure

 

 

on the ASA must match the epoch and

 

 

password configured on the Cisco

 

 

Intercompany Media Engine server. See the

 

 

Cisco Intercompany Media Engine server

 

 

documentation for information.
