User Settings

User settings are used for phone-to-phone sessions and define the information required by the third-party server. The following list shows the settings:

• Account
  The user account ID with the third-party server or the Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).

• Allowed Auth
  The authentication methods allowed by the client application. The authentication types available are described in the RTCAU_ Constants.

  Note   The NTLM and Kerberos authentication methods are supported only under the TCP and TLS transport types.

• Name
  The user's display name that the client application should use.

• Password
  A character string that the third-party server or ITSP uses to authenticate the user. Note that the XML language reserves a set of characters that have special meaning in the language. If any of these reserved characters is used in the password that is listed in the profile, the password will fail. For example, &, <, and > are a few of the characters that are reserved in XML and should not be used in the XML profile.

  Security Note   The password is temporarily cached in memory in clear text, which may pose a brief security risk.

• Realm
  The protection space used in the Authorization header when making a SIP request. This is used by the ITSPs to outsource their services to another carrier.

  This attribute is required when authentication is enabled on the SIP server and the authentication used is Basic.

• URI
  The user's SIP URI. The "uri" attribute of the "user" tag in the XML profile document must be prefixed with "sip:".
