Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The security features protect against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and to
data. These features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone and
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are delivered.
For more information about the security features, see Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified
IP Phones, page 1-10. Also, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
You can install an Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) from the Security Configuration menu on the
phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.
Before You Begin
Make sure that the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the Certificate Authority
Proxy Function (CAPF) security configurations are complete:
• The CTL or ITL file should have a CAPF certificate.
• On Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration, verify that the CAPF
certificate has been installed
• The CAPF is running and configured.
• The phone should have the correct load file. To verify the image, press the Applications Menu
button and choose Settings > Model Information.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information.
To manually configure an LSC on the phone, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the CAPF authentication code that was set when the CAPF was configured.
Step 2 From the phone, press the Applications Menu button and choose Settings > Security Configuration.
Note You can control access to the Settings Menu by using the Settings Access field in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration window. For
more information, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Step 3 Press **# to unlock settings on the Security Configuration menu. (See Unlocking and Locking Options,
page 4-3 for information using locking and unlocking options.)
Note If a Settings Menu password has been provisioned, SIP phones present an “Enter password”
prompt after you enter **#.
