RN-001029-00, Rev 06, Release 2.2 

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

The IP phones now support HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication as defined in 
RFC 2617. (The HTTP client supports digest authentication; the HTTP server 
does not; the HTTP server supports basic authentication). This feature allows the 
phones to interoperate with Broadsoft’s CMS phone configuration tool.

Using the configuration files, you can enable/disable the following parameter to 
display a LOG IN softkey which allows the HTTP/HTTPS server to perform 
digest authentication:

http digest force login - specifies whether or not to display the LOG IN 
softkey on the IP Phone UI screen. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1 
(enabled). Default is 0 (disabled).

If the “http digest force login” parameter is set to 1 (enabled), after the phone 
boots, the LOG IN softkey displays on the phone’s LCD. If the user presses this 
softkey, a username/password screen displays, allowing the user to enter the 
configured username and password that is sent to the HTTP/HTTPS server for 
digest authentication by the server. By default, username is “aastra” and 
password is “aastra”. You can enter the username and password in two ways:

•

Using the configuration files, you can change the default values for the 
following parameters:

— http digest username - specifies the username to use for HTTP/HTTPS 

digest authentication.

— http digest password - specifies the password to use for HTTP/HTTPS 

digest authentication.

•

By enabling the “http digest force login” parameter (setting to 1) - the phone 
displays the LOG IN key so the user can enter the default username/password 
via the IP Phone UI.
