2 Remote Login and Configuring
2.1 Credentials Required
Login Credentials
Login refers to the process of signing into the VoIP service via your login server. The Bria user must enter login
credentials – login name and login password – in order to access Bria.
Login credentials are written to the settings file only if the “Remember” boxes on the dialog are checked.
Login credentials cannot be changed through provisioning.
SIP and XMPP Account Credentials
SIP account credentials allow the user to register for your VoIP service; they are known to your SIP registrar.
The SIP account credentials are user name, password, and the authorization user name (used only if required by
your network).
The XMPP account credentials allow the user to access the XMPP server; they are known to the XMPP server.
These credentials are user name and password.
Account credentials are sent down to Bria by your login server in the login response. Bria writes the credentials
to the settings file on the Bria computer.
These credentials are represented in Bria by settings in the proxies domain. For more information on these
settings, see the Bria Settings list.
Providing Credentials
When setting up a new user, give the user their login credentials, outside of Bria. You do not give the user the
account credentials; instead, these credentials will be sent down through provisioning.
• The account user name and login user name can be identical or different.
• The login user name is meaningful to the user (for example, their own name).
• The account user name follows the syntax for your accounts – it may be a number or words.
• The account password and the login password are typically different for security reasons.
• The login password should not be encrypted, because the user will enter it manually.
• The account password does not have to be human-readable.
