When users select "Remember password" on the Login screen,
the Sametime® SIP Proxy/Registrar
assumes the client and server are using Basic authentication. To change
to either LTPA authentication or to disable authentication, edit the
value for SIPAuthenticationType
in the stavconfig.xml file.
Procedure
- On the server hosting the Conference Manager's deployment
manager, locate the stavconfig.xml file in the
deployment manager's profile.
The Sametime System Console is typically used
as the deployment manager but is not required; your deployment may
use a different server for that purpose. The stavconfig.xml file
is typically stored in the following location for the deployment manager:
Dmgr_install_root/config/cells/Cell_name/nodes/Node_name/servers/Server_name
Note: There
are several instances of the stavconfig.xml file, and all instances
must be updated.
- Open the file for editing.
- Set the value for
SIPAuthenticationType
to
match the type of authentication to use when a user selects Remember
password.Accepted values are Basic (the
default), LTPA, and None.
For
example, to change to LTPA authentication, add this value:
<configuration lastUpdated="1226425838277" name="SIPAuthenticationType" value="LTPA"/>
LTPA
can be used when you have set up single sign-on (SSO) for clients.
Browser-based clients running with the audio-visual plugin always
use LTPA if authentication is enabled, even if Basic is set as the
value.
- Save and close the file.
- In a clustered environment, you must change all instances
of the stavconfig.xml file in the Deployment
manager profile. Repeat the previous steps for all other instances
of the file.
- Synchronize all nodes in the cell:
- In the deployment manager's Integrated Solutions Console,
click .
- Click Full Resynchronize.
