Secure API Access

You can access a RealPresence Group Series system using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. Secure API
access is authenticated for local and Active Directory (AD) accounts.
Note: When a password is empty, SSH will not validate credentials and allow a user to log in. Polycom
recommends that you consistently use passwords for secure access.
Secure API access using SSH is enabled by default. The sshenable API command and Enable Legacy
API Over SSH system web interface setting have been added to enable or disable the feature.
When the Enable Legacy API Over SSH setting is disabled, port 22 is still available for communications
with Polycom Touch Control system and RealPresence Group Series . To disable the access completely,
the RealPresence Group Series has introduced Enable SSH Service setting.
