Authentication

To authenticate the registering user, the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker needs the hash of the end station's password. It requests these from the local LST of an LDAP server by sending it an LDAP query for the configured field.

The hash consists of an MD5 hash made up of the following components:

MD5(username:digest-realm:password)

The transaction is conducted with the server defined in the Registrar configuration's credential retrieval method parameter. This parameter is populated with the name of the LDAP sever.
