Device authentication
Upgrades from release X5.2 or earlier to X7.0.n
If device authentication is not enabled when the Cisco VCS is upgraded to X7.0.n, the upgrade
process will configure all zones and subzones (except the default zone) on the Cisco VCS with
authentication set to ‘Treat as authenticated’. This ensures that:
process will configure all zones and subzones (except the default zone) on the Cisco VCS with
authentication set to ‘Treat as authenticated’. This ensures that:
CPL continues to work as expected
Caller ID can be set to the FindMe ID for calls originating from endpoints specified in a FindMe
The provisioning request is challenged by the provisioning server
If you are upgrading from X6.n to X7.0.n your existing authentication configuration will not be changed.
Note that if TMS Agent (rather than the Cisco VCS) challenges for authentication of provisioning data,
the initial presence publication by Movi (if running Movi version 4.1 or earlier) will fail; to publish Movi
presence, users must manually set their presence status after logging in.

Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express
If you have a Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express and you want to provision devices then you must set
the Default Zone to “Check credentials” (or “Treat as authenticated”). This is because the starter pack
provisioning server that runs on the Cisco VCS checks, but does not challenge for, credentials.

Cisco VCS upgrades where authentication is already enabled
If device authentication is enabled when the Cisco VCS is upgraded to X7.0.n, the upgrade process
will configure the Cisco VCS with authentication set to ‘Check credentials’. This means that:

Recommendations
Device authentication
You should review your whole network and consider whether authentication should be enabled for all
endpoints and enable authentication where possible.
endpoints and enable authentication where possible.
CPL modifications
In CPL, the ‘origin’ field is a short-hand for ‘authenticated-origin’. You are recommended to update
your CPL to make it explicit whether the CPL is looking at the authenticated or unauthenticated origin.
If CPL is required to look at the unauthenticated origin (e.g. when checking non-authenticated callers)
the CPL must use “unauthenticated-origin”. To check the authenticated origin (only available for
authenticated or “treat as authenticated” devices) the CPL should use “authenticated-origin”. Note
that:

Upgrading from X6.1 to X7.n
Important note for Cisco VCS units delivered with X6.1 pre-installed
As with upgrading from any Cisco VCS release, you should first backup your system before
upgrading. However, if your system was delivered with X6.1 pre-installed, you must make some
configuration changes before using the backup process.
