Secure SIP applications
We can apply digest authentication and Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) for a SIP application by applying Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) security to the application.
Before we can apply security, first deploy an application that has been developed to support security (with the web.xml file configured for security) and roles. The following software must also be installed:
- Install a supported LDAP server. For a list of supported LDAP servers, see the IBM website for WebSphere Application Server supported hardware, software, and APIs.
IBM Tivoli Directory Server users can choose IBM Tivoli Directory Server as the directory type for better performance.
IBM SecureWay Directory Server was renamed to IBM Tivoli Directory Server in WebSphere Application Server version 6.1.
- Set up and activate Lightweight Third Party Authentication.
To apply LDAP security to a SIP application, click Applications > Enterprise Applications > applicationName and complete the following steps:
- Click Detail Properties > Security role to user/group mapping.
- Check All Authenticated.
- Save all changes.
- Restart the server.

This section provides instructions specific to security for the SIP container.
- Configure digest authentication for SIP
We can configure SIP digest authentication settings to allow the SIP container to authenticate secured applications.
- Develop a custom trust association interceptor
When you develop Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) applications, we can create a custom trust association interceptor (TAI).
