Credential Retrieval

The Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager requests authentication information from an ENUM server via DNS when it receives a REGISTER or other message from an endpoint. This server, which provides authentication information, is defined on the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager in an enum-config configuration element that includes an enum-servers (the IP addresses of the servers) and realm parameters. Together, these two parameters define the DNS/ENUM server(s) which provide authentication data.

The target ENUM server is determined first by setting the credential retrieval config parameter to enum-config so the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager will reference that enum config. Next, set the credential retrieval config parameter to the name of an enum config configuration element which is populated with the ENUM servers’ IP addresses.
