Authentication Credential [1..2500] Name: <S: 0, 128>
Defines the name for this entry in the local authentication database.
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication Credential 1 Name: "john smith"
Authentication Credential [1..2500] Password: <S: 0, 215>
Defines the password for this entry in the local authentication database. The maximum plaintext length is 128 characters, which will then be encrypted.
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication Credential 1 Password: "password123"
Authentication Database: <LocalDatabase/LDAPDatabase>
Selects between a local authentication database and a remote LDAP repository for the storage of password information for authentication.
Default: LocalDatabase
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication Database: LocalDatabase
Authentication LDAP AliasOrigin: <LDAP/Endpoint/Combined>
Determines which aliases (i.e. from the
LDAP
repository or the
endpoint
) should be used to register the endpoint.
Combined
: the endpoint will be registered both with the aliases which it has presented and with those configured in the LDAP repository.
Default: LDAP
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication LDAP AliasOrigin: LDAP
Authentication LDAP BaseDN: <S: 0, 255>
Specifies the Distinguished Name to use when connecting to an LDAP server.

Authentication Mode: <On/Off>
Determines whether systems attempting to communicate with the VCS must authenticate with it first.
Off
: incoming messages are not authenticated.
On
: for H.323, any credentials in the message are checked against the authentication database. The message is allowed if the credentials match, or if there are no credentials in the
message. For SIP, any messages originating from an endpoint in a local domain will be authenticated.
Default: Off
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication Mode: Off
Authentication Password: <S: 0, 215>
Specifies the password to be used by the VCS when authenticating with another system, including when your VCS is a traversal client connecting to a traversal server. The maximum plaintext
length is 128 characters, which will then be encrypted.
Example:
xConfiguration Authentication Password: "password123"
Authentication UserName: <S: 0, 128>
Specifies the username to be used by the VCS when authenticating with another system, including when your VCS is a traversal client connecting to a traversal server.
