Appendix D-Ad Hoc Conferencing and External Database Authentication

Conference access authentication can be performed as:

•Part of the Ad Hoc conferencing flow where the participants must be authorized before they can enter the conference created in the Ad Hoc flow

•Independent of Ad Hoc conferencing where conference access is validated for all conferences running on the MCU regardless of the method in which the conference was started.

Conference access authentication can be implemented for all participants joining the conference or for chairpersons only.

Conference Access Validation - All Participants (Always)

Once the conference is created either via an Ad Hoc Entry Queue, or a standard ongoing conference, the right to join the conference is authenticated with the external database application for all participants connecting to the conference.

Figure D-3Conference Access - Conference Password validation with External Database Application

Joining the conference entails the following steps:

•When the conference is started (either in the Ad Hoc flow or in the standard method), all participants connecting to the conference are moved to the Conference IVR queue where they are prompted for the conference password.

•When the participant enters the conference password or his/her personal password, it is sent to the external database application for validation.

•If there is a match, the participant is granted the right to join the conference. In addition, the external database application sends to the MCU the following parameters:

—Participant name (display name)

—Whether or not the participant is the conference chairperson

—Participant Information, such as the participant E-mail. These fields correspond to Info 1, 2, 3 and 4 fields in the Participant Properties - Information dialog box.

If there is no match (i.e. the conference or personal password are not defined in the database), the request to access the conference is rejected and the participant is disconnected from the MCU.
