XML Directory Service
When an XML URL requires authentication, use the parameters
XML UserName
and
XML Password
.
The parameter
XML UserName
in XML URL is replaced by $XML UserName.
For example:
The parameter XML UserName is
cisco
. The XML Directory Service URL is
http://www.sipurash.compath?username=$XML_User_Name
.
This results in the request URL:
http://www.sipurash.com/path?username=cisco
.
XML Applications
When authentication is required for CGI/Execute URL via Post from an external application (for example, a
web application) to the phones, the parameter
CISCO XML EXE Auth Mode
is used in 3 different scenarios:
• Trusted—No authentication is performed (local user password is set or not). This is the default.
• Local Credential—Authentication is based on digest authentication using the local user password, if the
local user password is set. If not set, then no authentication is performed.
• Remote Credential—Authentication is based on digest authentication using the remote username/password
as set in the XML application on the web page (to access an XML application server).

• User ID—UID1, UID2 to UIDn
