may i add , eyebeams confnig file is xml and could be generated , BUT, the password is hashed in some way.. any idea on that ? its a pretty long hash</blockquote><div><br>Two options:<br> <br>- type in the passwords manually, shut down eyeBeam, and then cut/paste the hash into your provisioning system (suggested earlier in this thread)
<br><br>- say "screw it" and put the password in the XML in the clear and change the attribute on the "encrypted" attribute from "true" to "false". That just pushes the security concerns to the provisioning system and the workstation filesystem, but you have much more flexibility in how you tackle that problem than you get with the softphone itself. Server side isn't really any worse than most desk phones that need a config file with the password in the clear on a TFTP server (
i.e. Grandstream). Client side you have to have proper user-only creds on the Documents and Settings folder for each user and have some way to ensure that your users don't give access to the filesystem as them to someone else (
i.e. forgetting to lock the screen). But that's a PEBKAC[1] issue best addressed through the administration of a Big Foam Cluebat(tm).<br></div></div><br>[1] Problem exists between keyboard and chair<br><br>-- <br>j.
