You can configure SIP digest authentication settings to
allow the SIP container to authenticate secured applications.
Before you begin
Ensure that clusters and standalone
servers are created and federated.
About this task
The SIP container supports digest authentication. When this
type of authentication is used, the client does not send a clear text
password to the server. Instead, SIP authenticates each request using
user data from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
A component that uses LDAP for authentication verifies that the response
that the client provides equals the response that the component calculates
using LDAP data, which authorizes the request.
Avoid trouble: You must select a proper LDAP repository and activate
security on WebSphere
® Application Server before SIP
digest authentication can be activated. See the information center
topic on configuring security for the SIP container.
