Configure digest authentication for SIP

We can configure SIP digest authentication settings to allow the SIP container to authenticate secured applications.

Ensure that servers are created.

The SIP container supports digest authentication. When this type of authentication is used, the client does not send a clear text password to the server. Instead, SIP authenticates each request using user data from a LDAP server. A component that uses LDAP for authentication verifies the response the client provides equals the response the component calculates using LDAP data, which authorizes the request.

Select a proper LDAP repository and activate security on WebSphere Application Server before SIP digest authentication can be activated. See the information center topic on configuring security for the SIP container.

1. From the dmgr console, click Security > Global security > Web and SIP security > SIP digest authentication.

2. Specify a value for one or more settings. See the SIP digest authentication settings topic for more details.

3. Click OK.

4. Restart the application server.
