Configuring Delegated Credential Checking (SIP Only)
By default, the VCS uses the relevant credential checking mechanisms (local database, Active Directory Service or
H.350 directory via LDAP) on the same VCS that is performing the authentication challenge.
H.350 directory via LDAP) on the same VCS that is performing the authentication challenge.
Alternatively you can configure the VCS that is performing the authentication challenges to delegate the credential
checking of SIP messages, via a traversal zone, to another VCS (typically a VCS Control). Delegated credential
checking is useful in deployments where you want to allow devices to register on the VCS Expressway (so that, for
example, calls may be made without having to use a traversal license), but for security you want all communications
with authentication systems (such as an Active Directory server) to be performed inside the enterprise.

Credential checking for both SIP Digest and NTLM messages may be delegated.

All messages must be for locally-defined SIP domains. You can delegate credential checking to different
traversal clients on a per domain basis if required.

Configuring Your Video Communications Network for Delegated Credential Checking
Several configuration steps are involved, on both your VCS Expressway and your VCS Control, in setting up your
video network for delegated credential checking.

It is likely that much of this configuration, such as the set of local SIP domains, will already be in place, however the
sections below list all of the necessary configuration requirements.

VCS Expressway and VCS Control
There must be a secure traversal zone connection between the VCS Control and the VCS Expressway:
■
The VCS Control and VCS Expressway must be configured with a zone of type Unified Communications
traversal. This automatically configures an appropriate traversal zone (a traversal client zone when selected
on a VCS Control, or a traversal server zone when selected on a VCS Expressway) that uses SIP TLS with TLS
verify mode set to On, and Media encryption mode set to Force encrypted.

■
Both VCSs must trust each other's server certificate. As each VCS acts both as a client and as a server you
must ensure that each VCS’s certificate is valid both as a client and as a server.
