● If the chairperson identifier is entered, the participant is requested to enter the chairperson password.

In this flow, the chairperson password is not validated with the external database application, only

with the MCU.


If the correct chairperson password is entered, the participant is connected to the conference as

its chairperson.



If the wrong password is entered, he/she is disconnected from the conference.

To enable conference access validation for all participants the following conferencing components are
required:

● The external database must hold the conference password or the participant personal password/PIN

code or the participant’s Alias.

● The Conference IVR Service assigned to the conference (defined in the Profile) must be configured

to authenticate the participant’s right to access the conference with the external database application

for all requests. In addition it must be configured to prompt for the Conference Password.

Conference Access Validation - Chairperson Only (Upon Request)

An alternative validation method at the conference level is checking only the chairperson password with the
external database application. All other participants can be checked only with the MCU (if the Conference
IVR Service is configured to prompt for the conference password) or not checked at all (if the Conference
IVR Service is configured to prompt only for the chairperson password).

Conference Access - Chairperson Password validation with external database application

Joining the conference entails the following steps:

● When the conference is started (either in the Ad Hoc flow or in the standard method), all participants

connecting to the conference are moved to the conference IVR queue where they are prompted for

the conference password.

● If the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt for the Conference password, the participant

is requested to enter the conference password. In this flow, the conference password is not validated

with the external database application, only with the MCU.


If the wrong password is entered, he/she is disconnected from the conference.
