You can configure
SIP digest authentication settings to
allow the SIP container to authenticate secured applications.
Before you begin
Ensure that clusters and stand-alone
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.
