[cisco-voip] {cisco-voip} Cisco USB eToken

[Ryan Ratliff]

Authentication is just a way of hardening your CM server.  It will  
prevent people from using clients like IP Blue to get a phone on your  
system that isn't really supposed to be there (if this is a concern  
for you).   It does add a bit of administrative overhead so you'll  
have to decide if the benefits make it worth it for you.

I can't really speak to how many people are using it as my only  
exposure to that comes when it breaks :)

We were thinking of installing the CTL file and certificates on the
phones but not encrypting the voice streams due to the fact that we need
to record calls, do you think this would be useful as from what I
understand hardly anyone has bothered to do this?

Yes you do need the Cisco parts but I'm amazed there is a 21 day lead
time on them.   The USB tokens are used to generate the CTL file so
without them you cannot even begin to use CM authentication/encryption.

Hello,



We are having a challenge with an issue encrypting the phones and are
in need of quantity 2 - KEY-CCM-ADMIN-K9=.   This small item, as well
as others, is causing a very serious customer sat problem.  I could
explain later.  We have placed an order with Cisco but need to wait
for a 21 day lead time.





Do I have any other options? Do we need "Cisco" USB keys or do we
have a workaround way of using something else?



Thanks Much



Jim K
