Operating in Maximum Security Environments

Polycom RMX Systems in Secure Mode

The CMA system automatically detects when a Polycom RMX system is operating in secure (HTTPS) mode. By default, in non-secure (HTTP) mode, the Polycom RMX system uses port 80 for its communications and in secure (HTTPS) mode, the Polycom RMX system uses port 443 for its communications.

You can determine via the CMA system interface whether or not a Polycom RMX system is operating in secure mode by viewing the HTTP port number for the MCU (see “View Device Details” on page 227).

If an administrator changes the secure mode setting on a Polycom RMX system, the CMA system will lose connection to the RMX, but will automatically regain it using the correct protocol. The CMA system may take up to a minute to restore the connection.

User Management in Maximum Security Mode

User management functionality is divided among different roles: Scheduler,

Operator, and Administrator.

Scheduler

Users assigned the basic Scheduler and Advanced Scheduler role can add guest participants to the Guest Book.

The Guest Book workflow for schedulers on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode has not changed.

Operator

Users assigned the Operator role can add, edit, and delete guest participants from the Guest Book as well as add, edit, and delete their own Favorites lists.

The Guest Book and Favorites workflow for operators on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode has not changed.

Administrator

The administrator’s user management functionality and workflow on a CMA system operating in maximum security mode has changed significantly.

When integrated with an enterprise directory (Microsoft Active Directory), the CMA system can have only one local account—the default administrator account used to access and administer the system. This account cannot be deleted in any circumstances.
