35 Logging into a Remote HTTP/S Server
using the Phone
LCD
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 below as reference:
Table 35-1: 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.
