RTC Authentication (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Client applications use authentication to verify that messages from other clients and servers are not impersonated.

RTC version 1.2 supports the following authentication methods:

In terms of security, the RTC API prioritizes the authentication schemes as follows, in order from most secure to least secure:

  1. Kerberos
  2. NTLM
  3. Digest
  4. Basic

Note

Someone can intercept information by replacing a SIP server and forwarding SIP requests to other servers. Client applications should ensure that the server is authenticated. To authenticate the server, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) transport type must be specified in the connection profile.

For more information about setting security parameters, see the Security information at this Microsoft Web site.
