6.2 Authentication

The TANDBERG Gatekeeper can use a user name and password based challenge-response
scheme to permit registrations. For details of how to configure your endpoint with the appropriate
information, please consult your endpoint manual.
The Gatekeeper supports the ITU H.235 [1] specification for authenticating the identity of network
devices with which theGatekeeper communicates.
In order to verify the identity of a device, the Gatekeeper needs access to the password infor-
mation. This credential information may be stored in a local database on the Gatekeeper or
obtained from an LDAP Directory Server.
6.2.1 Authentication using a local database
To configure the Gatekeeper to use the local database of credentials during authentication issue
the following commands
xConfiguration Authentication Mode: On
xConfiguration Authentication Database: LocalDatabase
Each credential in the local database has a username and a password. To manage the credentials
in the local database use the following commands
xcommand CredentialAdd <user name> <password>
xcommand CredentialDelete <credential index>
To show the credentials in the local database use the command
xConfiguration Authentication Credential
The credential database can also be configured via the web interface on the Gatekeeper
Configuration Credentials page (Figure 17).
