Add Device Authentication Dialog Box The Add Device Authentication dialog box appears when you click Add on
the Device Authentication page while the Inbound Authentication tab is
selected. It lets you add a device’s authentication credentials to the list of
device credential entries against which the Call Server checks a device’s
credentials.
The following table describes the fields in the Add Device Authentication
dialog box.
Enable proxy
authentication Configures the Call Server to respond to
unauthenticated requests with 407 (Proxy
Authentication Required).
If turned off, the Call Server responds to
unauthenticated requests with 401 (Unauthorized).
Authentication valid
time (seconds) Specifies the time period within which the Call Server
doesn’t re-challenge a device that previously
authenticated itself.
SIP device
authentication settings
Shared Outbound Authentication
(table of authentication
entries) Lists the authentication credential entries defined for
general use by the Call Server to authenticate its
requests, showing the realm in which the entry is valid
and the user name. You can add, edit, or delete
credential entries.
Use the Realm or Name field and Search button above
the list to narrow the list.
When choosing authentication credentials to present to
an external SIP peer, the Call Server looks first for an
appropriate entry specific to that SIP peer (see “Edit
External SIP Peer Dialog Box” on page114). If there is
none with the correct realm, it looks at the entries listed
here.
