Authentication policy configuration options
Authentication policy behavior varies for H.323 messages, SIP messages received from local domains and
SIP messages from non-local domains.
SIP messages from non-local domains.
The primary authentication policy configuration options and their associated behavior are as follows:
n
Check credentials: verify the credentials using the relevant authentication method. Note that in some
scenarios, messages are not challenged, see below.

n
Do not check credentials: do not verify the credentials and allow the message to be processed.
n
Treat as authenticated: do not verify the credentials and allow the message to be processed as if it is has
been authenticated. This option can be used to cater for endpoints from third-party suppliers that do not
support authentication within their registration mechanism. Note that in some scenarios, messages are
allowed but will still be treated as though they are unauthenticated, see below.

The following tables summarize the policy behavior when applied at the zone and subzone level, and how it

varies depending on the message protocol.
Zone-level authentication policy
Authentication policy is selectively configurable for different zone types, based on whether they receive
messaging:
messaging:
n
The Default Zone, Neighbor zones, traversal client zones, traversal server zones and Unified
Communications traversal zones all allow configuration of authentication policy
Communications traversal zones all allow configuration of authentication policy
n
DNS and ENUM zones do not receive messaging and so have no authentication policy configuration.
To edit a zone's Authentication policy, go to
Configuration > Zones > Zones
and click the name of the
zone. The policy is set to Do not check credentials by default when you create a new zone.
The behavior varies for H.323 and SIP messages as shown in the tables below:
