Configuring User Authentication for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
How to Configure HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain)

3.
If the Web Servers accept the login credentials and the user IDs also exist in Cisco Unified 
MeetingPlace profile databases, users are logged in automatically to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 
and are granted access to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace home page.
Note
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile user ID must match the domain user ID of the user.
The advantage of HTTP Basic Authentication is that it is part of the HTTP specification and is supported 
by most browsers. The disadvantage is that the password is Base 64-encoded before being sent over the 
network. Since Base64 is not a true encryption, it can be easily deciphered. You can mitigate this 
security risk by implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on the Web Server.
