Cisco IOS Voice, Video, Fax Command Reference
A RADIUS/TACACS+ server and encryption key must have been configured in Cisco IOS software for
security to work.
Only the first alias of the proper type will be identified. If no alias of the proper type is found, the
registration will be rejected.
This command does not allow you to define the password mechanism unless the security type (h323-id
or e164 or any) has been defined. Although the no security password command undefines the password
mechanism, it leaves the security type unchanged, so security is still enabled. However, the no security
command disables security entirely, including removing any existing password definitions.
Examples The following example enables identification of registrations using the first H.323 ID found in any
registration:
security h323id
The following example enables security, authenticating all users by using their H.323-IDs and a
password of qwerty2x:
security h323-id
security password qwerty2x
The next example enables security, authenticating all users by using their H.323-IDs and the password
entered by the user in the H.323-ID alias he or she registers:
security h323-id
security password separator !
Now if a user registers with an H.323-ID of joe!024aqx, the gatekeeper authenticates user joe with
password 024aqx, and if that is successful, registers the user with the H.323-ID of joe. If the exclamation
point is not found, the user is authenticated with the default password, or a null password if no default
has been configured.
The following example enables security, authenticating all users by using their E.164 IDs and the
password entered by the user in the H.323-ID alias he or she registers:
security e164
security password separator !
Now if a user registers with an E.164 address of 5551212 and an H.323-ID of !hs8473q6, the gatekeeper
authenticates user 5551212 and password hs8473q6. Because the H.323-ID string supplied by the user
begins with the separator character, no H.323-ID is registered, and the user is known only by the E.164
address.
