Appendix D-Ad Hoc Conferencing and External Database Authentication
D-10
• If the correct conference password is entered, the participant is
prompted to enter the chairperson identifier key.
— If no identifier is entered, the participant is connected to the
conference as a standard participant.
• If the chairperson identifier is entered, the participant is prompted to
enter the chairperson password.
• When the participant enters the chairperson password or his/her
personal password, it is sent to the external database application for
validation.
— If the password is incorrect the participant is disconnected from
the MCU.
• If there is a match, the participant is granted the right to join the
conference as chairperson. In addition, the external database
application sends to the MCU the following parameters:
— Participant name (display name)
— Participant Information, such as the participant E-mail. These
fields correspond to Info 1, 2, 3 and 4 fields in the Participant
Properties - Information dialog box.
To enable conference access validation for all participants the following
conferencing components are required:
• The external database must hold the Chairperson Password or the
participant’s Alias.
• The Conference IVR Service assigned to the conference (defined in
the Profile) must be configured to check the external database for the
Chairperson password only when the participant enters the
chairperson identifier key (either pound or star). In addition, it must
be configured to prompt for the chairperson identifier key and
password.
