Configuring Operational Features
Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used
with Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)
The IP phones support HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication as defined in
RFC 2617. (The HTTP client supports digest authentication; the HTTP server
does not; the HTTP server supports basic authentication). This feature allows the
phones to interoperate with Broadsoft’s CMS phone configuration tool.
Using the configuration files, you can enable/disable the following parameter to
display a LOG IN softkey which allows the HTTP/HTTPS server to perform
digest authentication:
• http digest force login - specifies whether or not to display the LOG IN
softkey on the IP Phone UI screen. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1
(enabled). Default is 0 (disabled).
If the “ http digest force login ” parameter is set to 1 (enabled), after the phone
boots, the LOG IN softkey displays on the phone’s LCD. If the user presses this
softkey, a username/password screen displays, allowing the user to enter the
configured username and password that is sent to the HTTP/HTTPS server for
digest authentication by the server. By default, username is “
aastra ” and
password is “ aastra ”. You can enter the username and password in two ways:
• Using the configuration files, you can change the default values for the
following parameters:
— http digest username - specifies the username to use for HTTP/HTTPS
digest authentication.
— http digest password - specifies the password to use for HTTP/HTTPS
digest authentication.
• By enabling the “ http digest force login ” parameter (setting to 1) - the phone
displays the LOG IN key so the user can enter the default username/password
via the IP Phone UI.
