7.7 Logging into a Remote HTTP/S Server from the
Phone
Note: Support pending.
During automatic provisioning, the phone can optionally prompt the user to enter the login
credentials (username and password) of the provisioning server.
The prompt occurs during the server's authentication process, when it is recognized that an
HTTP username and/or password has not been specified, or that these credentials are
incorrect.
If so, and if the prompt feature is enabled, the 'Prov. Credentials' screen pops up, prompting
the user to enter or reenter these login credentials.
To configure HTTP/S login authentication in the configuration file:
• Use the table as reference:
Table 7-9: HTTP/S Login Authentication
Parameter Description
provisioning/configuration/http_auth/
ui_interaction_enabled
Enables the user to be prompted to enter the HTTP
username and password on the phone during the automatic
provisioning process whenever the login credentials to the
provisioning server have not been entered or are incorrect.
0 = (default) The phone's Settings menu's Prov. Credentials
option is not available on the phone and therefore the user
cannot interactively enter the HTTP password and username.
In this case, you must enter values for the HTTP username
and password in the configuration file, as specified below.
1 = The user can be prompted to enter the HTTP username
and password interactively. Whenever this value is
configured and the phone attempts to connect to a remote
server, then the user is prompted to enter or reenter these
credentials.
In addition, the user can manually go the Settings menu
option Prov. Credentials to enter their username and
password.
When this value is enabled, then it is highly recommended to
remove the HTTP password and username entries from the
configuration file:
provisioning/configuration/http_auth/password
provisioning/configuration/http_auth/user_name
provisioning/configuration/http_auth/
user_name
Defines a username required by the HTTP/S server for
logging in with authentication.
provisioning/configuration/http_auth/
password
Defines a password required by the HTTP/S server for
logging in with authentication.
