What you are proposing is quiet simple, and is done regularly. We provision Linksys Sipura ATAs via a perl script with SSL and client certificate authentication, as well as Polycom phones via XML file drops. The newest Polycom firmware also states that ssl is supported, but we have not made the conversion yet.
Both are driven by the fact that we are using realtime mysql The Linksys Sipura products have a provisioning manual available to authorized providers under a non disclosure agreement, so you will need to either get authorized or get help from an authorized reseller of the product (depending on your application). Up until recently, FTP and TFTP where the only methods on the Polycom, so just create a website that allows you to associate a Polycom MAC address with a SIP user and put a button on the page that drops a properly formatted XML file in the FTP directory. Easy to do if your sip users are in mysql or another database, trickier but possible if your users are in text files. The SSL method of verifying the client certificate and reading the MAC address from it is more secure, but again, not enough experience yet to know that it works with the Polycom, the ftp method does work reliably. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Cook > Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 6:53 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom Configuration > > I have been playing around with sipX for a couple of days now, and while > I don't really like it (just feels wierd), I do really like the > management interface for provisioning phones.
