/mcpEnabling Database Access for Remote Administration Tools In order to use the remote tools, you must first enable remote database access. As opening up database access for remote administration tools can introduce a security risk to your system, several layers of security are involved with enabling access: • The username and password of a user with the Remote Administrator role is required to run remote tools. • The Unity Connection Database Proxy service is disabled by default. Assigning the Remote Administrator Role to One or More Users Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Users and select Users. Step 2 On the Search Users page, find the applicable user account. Note As a best practice, do not use the default system administrator user account for remote access. Instead, use a different administrative user account to avoid the default system administrator account become locked due to too many failed authentication attempts. Step 3 On the Edit User Basics page, in the Edit menu, select Roles. Step 4 On the Edit Roles page, in the Available Roles field, select Remote Administrator, then select the Up arrow to move it into the Assigned Roles field. Step 5 Select Save. Step 6 Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for each user who needs access to remote administration tools. Starting the Database Proxy Service Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability, expand Tools and select Service Management. Step 2 In the Optional Services section, find the Unity Connection Database Proxy row and select Activate.
