Logging In And Out - Mitel 6800 Series Administrator's Manual

Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phone Release 4.2.0 SP2 Administrator Guide

LOGGING IN AND OUT

For logging in and logging out, a NOTIFY message containing an XML body that includes the
parameter "subscriberLogin" or "subscriberLogout" messageType (with valid username and
password values if logging in) to the phone must be triggered. The method of triggering this
NOTIFY message can be phone-initiated (by configuring a "Login" key) or initiated through a
different method (e.g. through use of an Interactive Voice Response [IVR] system).
To log in to a specific user profile, the user could, if configured, press the "Login" key on the
phone or call an IVR set up for the VDP log in/log out process (or any other alternative method
configured).
If the "Login" key is pressed, the phone will prompt the user for the username and password.
If the server does not support authentication or if the server is set up for anonymous connections,
the username is all that is required and corresponds to the filename of the <user>.cfg file (e.g.
john). If the server is configured with login credentials, both the username and password are
required. The username in this case corresponds to both the server username credential and
<user>.cfg file (i.e. the server username and <user>.cfg file name must match) and the
password corresponds to the server password credential.
When the user's credentials are confirmed, this triggers the call manager to send an unsolicited
NOTIFY message containing an XML body that includes the "subscriberLogin" messageType
with valid username and password values. The phone then contacts the configuration server
(defined by the "user config url" parameter) and downloads the subscribers profile contained
in the "<user>.cfg" and "<user>_local.cfg" files.
Note: The "<user>.cfg" file contains read-only server-related configuration information
that is not configurable by the user and the "<user>_local.cfg" file contains the user
configuration information that has been changed by the user locally either through the
phone's UI or through the Web UI.
For example, if the "user config url" parameter is defined with valid HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or
TFTP server credentials and an unsolicited NOTIFY message containing the following XML
body is received by phone:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<visitorDesk>
<messageType>subscriberLogin</messageType>
<subscriber>
<username>john</username>
<password>mitel</password>
</subscriber>
</visitorDesk>
the phone connects to the defined server, downloads the "john.cfg" and "john_local.cfg" files
containing all the applicable saved settings and information for that particular user, and
configures the phone according to the "john.cfg" and "john_local.cfg" files.
