Conference Access Validation - All Participants (Always)

Once the conference is created either via an Ad Hoc Entry Queue, or a

standard ongoing conference, the right to join the conference is

authenticated with the external database application for all participants

connecting to the conference.

Figure D-3

Conference Access - Conference 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.

•

When the participant enters the conference password or his/her

personal password, it is sent to the external database application for

validation.

•

If there is a match, the participant is granted the right to join the

conference. In addition, the external database application sends to the

MCU the following parameters:
—

Participant name (display name)

—

Whether or not the participant is the conference chairperson

—

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.
