Username:

This field is auto generated and by default the same as the users extension. Changing extension value

automatically

changes username value.

Authentication Method:

The authentication method field is used for UAD (User Agent Devices) encryption settings. The following

options are available:

· None No authentication is required or performed

· Plaintext* The weakest and most vulnerable method due to "secret" not being encrypted

· MD5* 128 Bit Hashing Encryption and widely used

· RC4 A stream cipher which is easily broken if the same key is used twice

· RSA** An asymmetric algorithm which relies on the difficulty of factoring very large numbers. RSA is

the most secure authentication method as of 2005. There are no known methods of feasible attacks.

* If MD5 or Plaintext authentication is selected, a secret must be provided in the "Secret" Field.

** If RSA authentication method is selected, then "RSA key" field becomes active. Please paste a valid RSA

key in the text box.

Secret:

An auto generated value used to allow UAD device to authenticate with the system.

PIN:

This is the "users" PIN used to authenticate users accessing some services. For example:

Voicemail checking, Setting Call Forward etc. PIN provides additional level of security.

5.2.9 Permissions
