AUTHENTICATION SUPPORT FOR HTTP/HTTPS DOWNLOAD ME-
THODS, 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.
