1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This cryptographic signature package enables Arabic (United Arab Emirates dialect) localization for Cisco’s enterprise collaboration suite, including Webex Contact Center and Unified Communications Manager. Designed for global enterprises with Middle Eastern operations, it implements right-to-left text rendering and Hijri/Gregorian calendar coexistence in call routing interfaces.

The “.sgn” extension denotes Cisco’s Enhanced Software Signing specification, using ECDSA-384 algorithms for installation validation. Compatible with Cisco Collaboration System 12.5.1+ deployments, this language pack became generally available in Q3 2024 through Cisco’s Smart Software Manager portal.


2. Core Localization Features

​Linguistic Compliance​

  • Extended Arabic script shaping for Gulf dialects (khaleeji)
  • Dual calendar system synchronization for appointment scheduling
  • Currency formatting for AED (Arab Emirates Dirham)

​Security Protocols​

  • Hardware Security Module (HSM) compatible signatures
  • Automated certificate chain validation during installation
  • FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance for government deployments

​System Integration​

  • Centralized language management via Cisco Unified CM Administration
  • Multi-layer compatibility matrix:
Platform Minimum Version Tested Build
Webex Contact Center WxCC 12.5(1) 12.5.1.5012
UCM 12.5.1 SU1 12.5.1.15900-507
Expressway-C/E X12.5.3 12.5.3.9

3. Deployment Requirements

​Hardware Prerequisites​

  • UCS C480 M5 ML servers or newer
  • 40GB free storage for linguistic databases

​Software Dependencies​

  • Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.5 Service Pack 3
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 (Kernel 4.18.0-553)

​Configuration Limitations​

  • Requires separate installation from other locale packs
  • Incompatible with third-party RTL text processing tools

4. Verification & Download

Authorized distributors like IOSHub (https://www.ioshub.net) provide authenticated copies preserving original ECDSA signatures. Enterprise administrators should:

  1. Validate package integrity using:
    bash复制
    openssl dgst -verify cisco_pub.pem -signature ps-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn ps-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.5000-1.cop  
  2. Schedule deployments during off-peak hours
  3. Monitor localization service activation via RTMT tool (Counter ID 8856)

Note: Always verify cryptographic signatures against Cisco’s published root certificates. Unverified installations may violate software compliance agreements.
