Set Common Passwords for Endpoints

The Common Password feature allows you to manage endpoints that have the same global administrative password. However, it cannot reset the administrative password on endpoints.

If you use the Common Password feature, access to password-protected data within endpoints is granted if the specified common password matches the endpoints’ Administrator Password.

To set common passwords for endpoints

1Go to Admin > Management and Security Settings > Endpoint Management Settings.

2In the Common Password section of the Endpoint Management Settings page, select Use a Common Password.

3Enter the common User Name and the common password in the Password and Verify Password fields and click Update.

Note

Leave these settings blank if your Polycom endpoints require individual passwords or do not have passwords. To configure a global administrative password for all Polycom endpoints, use scheduled provisioning.
