Device authentication
Authenticating with external systems
The
Outbound connection credentials
page
(VCS configuration > Authentication > Outbound
connection
credentials) is used to configure a username and password that the VCS will use whenever it is
required to authenticate with external systems.
For example, when the VCS is forwarding an invite from an endpoint to another VCS, that other system may
have authentication enabled and will therefore require your local VCS to provide it with a username and
password.
Note that these settings are not used by traversal client zones. Traversal clients, which must always
authenticate with traversal servers before they can connect, configure their connection credentials per
traversal client zone.
