TANDBERG Border Controller User Manual

5.2Authentication

The TANDBERG Border Controller can use a user name and password based challenge-response scheme to permit registrations. For details of how to configure your endpoint with the appropriate information, please consult your endpoint manual.

The Border Controller supports the ITU H.235 [1] specification for authenticating the identity of network devices with which theBorder Controller communicates.

In order to verify the identity of a device, the Border Controller needs access to the password information. This credential information may be stored in a local database on the Border Controller or obtained from an LDAP Director Server.

5.2.1 Authentication using a local database

To configure the Border Controller to use the local database of credentials during authentication issue the following commands

xConfiguration Authentication Mode: On

xConfiguration Authentication Database: LocalDatabase

Each credential in the local database has a username and a password. To manage the credentials in the local database use the following commands

xcommand CredentialAdd <user name> <password> xcommand CredentialDelete <credential index>

To show the credentials in the local database use the command

xConfiguration Authentication Credential

The credential database can also be configured via the web interface on the Border Controller Configuration → Credentials page (Figure 13).

5.2.2 Authentication using an LDAP server

The authentication information can be obtained from an LDAP server. The directory on the LDAP server should be configured to implement the ITU H.350 specification to store H.235 credentials for devices that the Border Controller communicates with. The directory should also be configured with the H.323 aliases of endpoints that will register with the Border Controller.

For instructions on how to configure common third party LDAP servers, see Appendix B.
