Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used with Broadsoft
Client Management System (CMS)
The IP phones support HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication as defined in
RFC 2617. (The HTTP client supports digest authentication; the HTTP server does not; the HTTP
server supports basic authentication). This feature allows the phones to interoperate with
Broadsoft’s CMS phone configuration tool.
Using the configuration files, you can enable/disable the following parameter to display a LOG IN
softkey which allows the HTTP/HTTPS server to perform digest authentication:
•
http digest force login - specifies whether or not to display the LOG IN softkey on the IP
Phone UI screen. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). Default is 0 (disabled).
If the “http digest force login” parameter is set to 1 (enabled), after the phone boots, the LOG IN
softkey displays on the phone’s LCD. If the user presses this softkey, a username/password screen
displays, allowing the user to enter the configured username and password that is sent to the
HTTP/HTTPS server for digest authentication by the server. By default, username is “aastra” and
password is “aastra”. You can enter the username and password in two ways:
• Using the configuration files, you can change the default values for the following parameters:
— http digest username - specifies the username to use for HTTP/HTTPS digest
authentication.
— http digest password - specifies the password to use for HTTP/HTTPS digest
authentication.
• By enabling the “http digest force login” parameter (setting to 1) - the phone displays the
LOG IN key so the user can enter the default username/password via the IP Phone UI.
