•

If the Conference IVR Service is configured to prompt for the chairperson identifier and

password, the participant is requested to enter the chairperson identifier.
—

If no identifier is entered, the participant connects as a standard, undefined

participant.

•

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).

Joining the conference entails the following steps:

all participants connecting to the conference are moved to the conference IVR queue

where they are prompted for the conference password.
