System Security

2When the Polycom RealPresence DMA system connects to a Microsoft Active Directory server, it may present a certificate to the server to identify itself.

If Active Directory is configured to require a client certificate (this is not the default), the Polycom RealPresence DMA system offers the same SSL server certificate that it offers to browsers connecting to the system management interface. Active Directory must be configured to trust the certificate authority, or it rejects the certificate and the connection fails.

3When the Polycom RealPresence DMA system connects to a Microsoft Exchange server (if the calendaring service is enabled; see Microsoft Exchange Server Integration), it may present a certificate to the server to identify itself.

Unless the Allow unencrypted calendar notifications from Exchange server security option is enabled (see Security Settings), the Polycom RealPresence DMA system offers the same SSL server certificate that it offers to browsers connecting to the system management interface. The Microsoft Exchange server must be configured to trust the certificate authority. Otherwise, the Microsoft Exchange Server integration status (see Dashboard) remains Subscription pending indefinitely, the Polycom RealPresence DMA system does not receive calendar notifications, and incoming meeting request messages are only processed approximately every 4 minutes.

4When the Polycom RealPresence DMA system connects to a RealPresence Collaboration Server or RMX MCU configured for secure communications (this is not the default), a certificate may be used to identify the MCU (server) to the Polycom RealPresence DMA system (client).

5When performing call signaling requiring TLS, the Polycom RealPresence DMA system presents its certificate to the connecting client (one-way TLS). If the Require mutual authentication (validation of client certificates) SIP Settings option is enabled (see Signaling Settings), the system uses the installed CA certificates to authenticate the connecting client’s certificate as well (mutual TLS).
