Automatic Password Generation Flags - Polycom RMX 1500 Administrator's Manual

Automatic Password Generation Flags

The RMX can be configured to automatically generate conference and
chairperson passwords when the Conference Password and Chairperson
Password fields are left blank.
Guidelines
• If the flag HIDE_CONFERENCE_PASSWORD is set to YES, the
automatic generation of passwords (both conference and chairperson
passwords) is disabled, regardless of the settings of the flags
NUMERIC_CONF_PASS_DEFAULT_LEN and
NUMERIC_CHAIR_PASS_ DEFAULT _LEN.
• The automatic generation of conference passwords is enabled/
disabled by the flag NUMERIC_CONF_PASS_DEFAULT_LEN.
• The automatic generation of chairperson passwords is enabled/
disabled by the flag NUMERIC_CHAIR_PASS_ DEFAULT _LEN.
• The automatically generated passwords will be numeric and random.
• The passwords are automatically assigned to ongoing conferences,
Meeting Rooms and Reservations at the end of the creation process
(once they are added to the RMX).
• Automatically assigned passwords can be manually changed
through the Conference/Meeting Room/Reservation Properties dialog
boxes.
• Deleting an automatically created password will not cause the system
to generate a new password and the new password must be added
manually or the field can be left blank.
• If a password was assigned to the conference via Microsoft Outlook
using the PCO add-in, the system does not change these passwords
and additional passwords will not be generated (for example, if only
the conference password was assigned a chairperson password will
not be assigned).
• If the flag values (i.e. the password lengths) are changed, passwords
that were already assigned to conferences, Meeting Rooms and
Reservations will not change and they can be activated using the
