Unable to load patch from UCM with IE8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description
The user is unable to load a patch or a SP using UCM (Unified Communication Manager) in IE8 (Internet Explorer 8). The following error appears on each attempt:
'Unexpected error occurred while uploading the patch file. The patch file could be invalid, please refer patch manager logs for more details.'
Please note that the same error appears if you try to upload a patch over SP's tab in UCM. The error we mention above is seen while we follow a regular patch/SP upload process.
Problem Resolution
Although the full testing has not been performed with IE8 and Release 6 yet, we will still try to support field reported issues. However, please be informed that in the NTPNN43001-116 03.04 (page 18)you will see the following information:
'UCM Common Services supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0. Other versions and browsers are not tested or supported.'
One of the following step can be performed to resolve the issue.
•Please try to reduce the security level of internet. Go to 'Internet Options' in IE8. Click on 'Security' tab and try to downgrade the security level for this zone. Note that this might not be applicable to some user sites due to security issues
•On the other hand, you can just add the UCM web address as one of the Trusted Sites. Go to 'Internet Options' in IE8. Click on 'Security' tab and go to 'Trusted Sites.' Click on 'Sites' button and add the UCM address as trusted
