Polycom RMX MCUs provide two optional security features for conferences,
which the Polycom DMA system fully supports:
• Conference Passcode — A numeric
order to join the conference.
• Chairperson Passcode — A numeric
identify themselves as conference chairpersons. Chairpersons have
additional privileges, such as controlling recording. A conference can be
configured to not start until a chairperson joins and to end when the last
chairperson leaves (see
page 79).
If the Polycom DMA system is integrated with your enterprise directory,
conference and chairperson passcodes for enterprise users can be maintained
in the enterprise directory.
You must determine which directory attributes to use for the purpose and
provide a process for provisioning users with those passcodes. If a user's
directory attribute (either conference or chairperson) is left empty,
passcode
the user's conferences won't require that passcode.
Passcodes must consist of numeric characters only (the digits 0-9). You can
specify the maximum length for each passcode type (up to 16 digits). A user's
conference and chairperson passcodes can't be the same.
When you generate passcodes for enterprise users, the Polycom DMA system
retrieves the values in the designated directory attributes and removes any
non-numeric characters from them. If the resulting numeric passcode is longer
than the maximum for that passcode type, it strips the excess characters from
the beginning of the string.
To generate chairperson and conference passcodes for enterprise users
In the enterprise directory, select an unused attribute to be used for each
1
of the passcodes.
In a multi-domain forest, it's best to choose attributes that are replicated
across the enterprise via the Global Catalog server mechanism. But if the
attributes you select aren't available in the Global Catalog, the system can
read them directly from each domain.
