User Authentication

This User Authentication section applies only to VoiceConsole On Prem deployment customers.

If you want users to log into the application with an application-specific password, do not check this option. If this option is unchecked, you must ensure that a password is entered for each user's record.

If you check this option, users can log into the application using their directory server password. The following check boxes and fields are used for this feature.

  1. To configure for SSL, do the following:
    1. Enable the Authenticate users against directory server check box.
    2. Enable the Use SSL check box.
    3. From the View Trusted Certificates link in the left navigation area, you can:
      • Locate and select the new certificate for the directory server
      • View or add entries to the VoiceConsole keystore
    4. Click Add Certificate.
  2. Host: Enter the hostname or IP address of the directory server.
  3. Port: Enter the port of the server for the secure connections.
  4. Search User Distinguished Name:Enter the components that identify the location of the entry at which the connection is authenticated (for more information, consult the administrator of your SSL server).
  5. Search User Password and Verify Password are the password values for the user.
  6. Search Base is the point where the server begins a search for the user or distinguished name in the SSL.
  7. Searchable Attribute is the attribute that is used to locate and identify the user in SSL.
  8. Test Directory Server Connection Information: This button tests the connection with an existing user connected to the SSL server.
  9. Test User Name is the user testing the connection.

When the connection is made, the Successfully connected to the directory server message appears.
