Determining the Authentication Method to Use for the Cisco Unity Administrator

The Cisco Unity Administrator is the website used to do most administration tasks, including: determining system schedules, specifying settings for individual subscribers (or for a group of subscribers by using a subscriber template), and implementing a call management plan.

To access the Cisco Unity Administrator, Cisco Unity requires that the identity of the administrator is authenticated by a name and password. You can choose which IIS authentication method that you want to use for the Cisco Unity Administrator. (Note that the authentication method you choose also applies to the Cisco Unity Status Monitor.)

Note Until a Cisco Unity subscriber account is created for the purpose of administering Cisco Unity, you must use the Windows credentials associated with the administration account that was selected when Cisco Unity was installed to log on to the Cisco Unity Administrator.
