Polycom 7000 manual Add Device Authentication Dialog, Shared Outbound Authentication

Call Server Configuration

Field	Description
Realm	The realm string in an authentication challenge tells the challenged device the
	protection domain for which it must provide credentials.
	Generally, it includes the domain label of the Call Server. See RFC 2617 and
	RFC 3261.
	If you specify a realm instead of using the default, the realm you specify is
	used for all clusters in the supercluster.
Enable proxy	Configures the Call Server to respond to unauthenticated requests with 407
authentication	(Proxy Authentication Required).
	If turned off, the Call Server responds to unauthenticated requests with 401
	(Unauthorized).
Authentication valid time	Specifies the time period within which the Call Server doesn’t re-challenge a
(seconds)	device that previously authenticated itself.
(table of authentication entries)	Lists the inbound device authentication entries against which the Call Server
	checks a device’s credentials.
	Click Add to add a device’s credentials to the list. Click Edit or Delete to
	change or remove the selected entry.
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). If there is none with the correct realm, it looks at the entries listed here.
