application it must be configured to access the external database for
authentication.
• An Entry Queue IVR Service configured with the appropriate audio
prompts requesting the Conference ID and configured to access the
external database for authentication.
• Create a Profile with the appropriate conference parameters and the
appropriate Conference IVR Service assigned to it.
• An Ad Hoc-enabled Entry Queue with the appropriate Entry Queue
IVR Service and Conference Profile assigned to it.
• An external database application with a database containing
Conference IDs associated with participants and their relevant
properties.
• Define the flags required to access the external database in System
Configuration. For more information, see "
MCU Configuration to
Communicate with an External Database Application”

Conference Access with External Database
Authentication
The MCU can work with an external database application to validate the
participant’s right to join an existing conference. The external database
contains a list of participants, with their assigned parameters. The
conference password or chairperson password entered by the participant
is compared against the database. If the system finds a match, the
participant is granted the permission to access the conference.
To work with an external database application to validate the
participant’s right to join the conference, the Conference IVR Service must
be configured to use the external database application for authentication.
Conference access authentication can be performed as:
• Part of the Ad Hoc conferencing flow where the participants must be
authorized before they can enter the conference created in the Ad
Hoc flow
• Independent of Ad Hoc conferencing where conference access is
validated for all conferences running on the MCU regardless of the
method in which the conference was started.
Conference access authentication can be implemented for all participants
joining the conference or for chairpersons only.
