Set or Change the GAB Password
You can require that endpoints be provisioned with a password in order to
access the Global Address Book on the RealPresence Resource Manager
system. To do so, set a Global Address Book password as described here. Use
the same procedure to change the Global Address Book password.
Note that even if the Global Address Book is password protected, some
third-party endpoints may not be required to provide a password because
they are not directory-password aware. They have unrestricted access to the
Global Address Book.
To provision this password to endpoints, see “Add a Scheduled Provisioning
Profile” on page 160.
To set or change the password for the Global Address Book
1 Go to Admin > Directories > Global Address Book.
