34 Configuring HTTP/S
HTTP/S login authentication can be configured to secure the connection between the IP
phones and a provisioning server, such as the BroadWorks Device Management
Provisioning server. Once the connection is secure, software and/or configuration files can
be downloaded to the phone.
HTTP/S authentication is supporting using the following methods (configured on the remote
server):

Basic – (RFC 2617) username and password are sent in plain text over plain HTTP
over the network.

Digest – a hash function is applied to the password before sending it over the network,
therefore it is more secure as usernames and passwords are encrypted
Note:
• The enterprise requires an HTTP/S server to support this feature.
• The authentication method is configured on the remote side e.g. Provisioning server.
