Authentication using a local database
Overview
The local authentication database is included as part of your VCS system. The database can hold
up to 2,500 entries, each consisting of a name and password.
Name
The username used by the endpoint when authenticating with the VCS.
Password
The password used by the endpoint when authenticating with the VCS.
Configuring the local authentication database
The Local authentication database page lists and allows you to manage the credentials stored in
the local authentication database.
To go to the Local authentication database page:
•
VCS configuration > Authentication > Devices > Local database
To manage the local authentication database using the CLI:
xConfiguration Authentication Credential
•
•
xCommand CredentialAdd
xCommand CredentialDelete
•
You can sort these entries by clicking on the Name column heading.
View/Edit
Click View/Edit to make changes to an existing entry. You are taken to the Edit credential page.
Delete
Click Delete to remove a credential from the list.
New
Select New to add a new entry to the local authentication database. You are taken to the Create
credential page.
The same credentials can be used by more than one endpoint - you do not need to have a
separate entry in the database for each endpoint.

Authenticating with external systems
Outbound connection credentials
The Outbound connection credentials page is used to configure a username and password that
the VCS will use whenever it is required to authenticate with external systems. For example, when
the VCS is forwarding an invite from an endpoint to another VCS, that other system may have
authentication enabled and will therefore require your local VCS to provide it with a username and
password.
Note that these settings are not used by traversal client zones. Traversal clients, which must
always authenticate with traversal servers before they can connect, configure their connection
credentials per
traversal client
zone.
To go to the Outbound connection credentials page:
•
VCS configuration > Authentication > Outbound connection credentials
To configure authentication using the CLI:
xConfiguration Authentication Password
•
xConfiguration Authentication UserName
