OVERVIEW The XML provisioning system allows Grandstream phones to perform configuration updates via XML configuration files. In addition, the XML provisioning implementation may also allow generic XML configuration file on top of the MAC based configuration file.
000b82123456 0 Account name The mac element is not mandatory. It is designed this way because not all provision systems support MAC address. If it is present, the provision program will validate the mac element with the actual MAC address on the device. XML FILE ENCRYPTION The XML configuration file may be encrypted using AES-256-CBC algorithm.
SECURE PROVISIONING Although the XML config file can be encrypted and the encryption algorithm itself is regarded as safe and strong by using AES with 256-bit key length, it remains a question on how to bootstrap and provision the initial XML encryption password. There are several methods to provide solutions to this: 1. Use legacy binary config file to set the initial XML encryption password. The legacy binary file is encrypted and it generally regarded safe. 2.
