Authentication
Basic Authentication
Overview
An application user assigned to the user group Standard EM Authentication Proxy Rights is required to login and logout end users from devices.
The application user's credentials must be passed in the request body.
The end user can also use the Extension Mobility API (EMAPI) to login and logout of their device profiles using their credentials. However, an end user cannot login and logout other end users from devices. The end user does not need to be in a specific user group like the application user.
Service Activation and User/Group management is handled in CUCM Serviceability and Administration sites respectively. Make sure the Extention Mobility services is started.
Security
Cisco recommends that all EMAPI transactions be conducted over a secure session, such as HTTPS.
Depending on the connection technology used, you may need to manually install the Unified Communication Manager's self-signed certificate into a local trust store for your application.
