System Management Console User Guide
Standard
With this feature you can use the System Management Console to view Media
Application Server alarms and logs.
Password management
This Password management feature provides encryption of subscriber and
administrator passwords, password complexity rules, and password enforcement.
The system stores all passwords in an encrypted format for improved security.
Password policies provide the ability to configure a default subscriber password
and to enforce password changes. Complexity rules and password enforcement
rules govern Administrator passwords.
SIP Denial of Service mitigation
The SIP Denial of Service mitigation feature provides a mechanism to protect the
call server from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The feature protects the call
server from wasting computing resources due to SIP messaging that exceeds the
configured threshold. Statically configure the IP addresses of the SIP servers to
maintain Domain Name System (DNS) lookup advantages.
SSL for web and SOAP interface
This feature provides the following benefits:
increased security for the MCS Provisioning Client and Personal Agent (PA)
separation of the Personal Agent from the Provisioning Client
protection mechanisms that defend against brute force and dictionary
password attacks
This feature increases security in the MCS Provisioning Client and Personal
Agent by adding Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over Transport Layer
Security (HTTPS) support for all Web transactions. The Provisioning Client and
Personal Agent use different Web server ports to implement generic routing
Access Control Lists (ACL).
Additional PAs, separate from Provisioning Clients and running on different
servers, are supported. You can configure additional PAs, depending on the
number of subscribers.
