[cisco-voip] CUCM - Pulling Phone Screenshots

[Bernhard Albler]

EM would not work in my opinion, since this would only give a dynamic
control association for the phone for the currently logged in user.

What controls the behavior is the authentication url (or more specifically
the web service behind the URL) defined for the phone.
In my opinion  the best way is to use a application user and assign the
user all phones not currently assigned via AXL (via SQL statement) before
making the actual request.

This way you have not maintenance effort for assigning phones to the user.
