1. Introduction to ClickToCall.msi
This essential Windows Installer package enables enterprise-grade click-to-call functionality within Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environments. Officially released under Cisco’s Extended Security Maintenance program in Q1 2025, version 4.5(1) introduces TLS 1.3 encryption for web-initiated call requests while maintaining backward compatibility with CUCM 12.5(1)SU6 through 14.5(1) clusters.
The software integrates with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Webex Calling hybrid deployments, resolving 12 CVEs identified in previous implementations. It supports automatic number formatting for 40+ country codes and maintains a 50-entry call history archive with SHA-256 hashed storage.
