About Cisco Unified Presence Installation Prerequisites
Supported Servers
Before you install Cisco Unified Presence:
•
You must check your hardware and ensure that your servers are supported. To determine which
servers support Cisco Unified Presence releases, see the
Hardware and Software Compatibility
Information for Cisco Unified Presence

If you are configuring the Cisco Unified Presence multi-node feature in your network, review the
multi-node hardware recommendations, and installation and upgrade information, in the

Application User
Account
You will need to
create
an Application
User user ID and password to sign in to
the Cisco Unified Presence
Administration interface.
If you need to reset the Application
User password, use the CLI. For the
required CLI syntax, see the
Installation Readiness Checklist in
the appendix to this guide.
Security Password
You will need to
obtain
the security
password from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager for the
Cisco Unified Presence servers that you
are installing. The security password that
you set for Cisco Unified Presence must
be identical to the password used on the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Publisher server.
•
If you lose the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
security password, there is no
way to verify what it is on the
Cisco Unified Communications
Manager server.
•
You can reset the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
security password in the
Post-Installation deployment
wizard, which displays the first
time you sign in to
Cisco Unified Presence
Administration.
•
To reset the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
security password
after
your
first sign in to Cisco Unified
Presence Administration, select
System > CUCM Publisher
