• The automatic generation of chairperson passwords is enabled/disabled by the flag
NUMERIC_CHAIR_PASS_ DEFAULT _LEN.
• The automatically generated passwords will be numeric and random.
• The passwords are automatically assigned to ongoing conferences, Meeting Rooms and
Reservations at the end of the creation process (once they are added to the
Collaboration Server).
• Automatically assigned passwords can be manually changed through the Conference/
Meeting Room/Reservation Properties dialog boxes.
• Deleting an automatically created password will not cause the system to generate a new
password and the new password must be added manually or the field can be left blank.
• If a password was assigned to the conference via Microsoft Outlook using the PCO add-
in, the system does not change these passwords and additional passwords will not be
generated (for example, if only the conference password was assigned a chairperson
password will not be assigned).
• If the flag values (i.e. the password lengths) are changed, passwords that were already
assigned to conferences, Meeting Rooms and Reservations will not change and they can
be activated using the existing passwords. Only new conferencing entities will be
affected by the change.
