Set or Change the GAB Password

You can require that endpoints be provisioned with a password in order to access the Global Address Book on the CMA system. To do so, set a Global Address Book password as described here. Use the same procedure to change the Global Address Book password.

Note that even if the Global Address Book is password protected, some third-party endpoints may not be required to provide a password because they are not directory-password aware. They have unrestricted access to the Global Address Book.

To provision this password to endpoints, see “Add a Scheduled Provisioning Profile” on page 186.

To set or change the password for the Global Address Book

1Go to Admin > Directories > Global Address Book.

2In the Global Address Book, click Set GAB Password .

3In the Set Client Password dialog box, enter the Old Password and the New Password. (Note that the password fields are ASCII only.)

4Confirm the new password and click Save.

Once you set this password, endpoints that are not provisioned with this password cannot access the Global Address Book on the CMA system.
