If the Enable Direct Action URL setting is set to "Yes ", these Direct action URLs are accessible only for the admin. If Admin user is password protected, the client provides a login prompt before these are accessed. The Direct Action URLs are accessible via the phone web page via the path /admin/<direct_action>. The syntax is:

http[s]://<ip_or_hostname>/admin/<direct_action>[?<url>]

For example, http://10.1.1.1/admin/resync?http://server_path/config.xml

The following table provides a list of the different direct avtion URLs that are supported.

When an XML URL requires authentication, use the parameters XML UserName and XML Password.

The parameter XML UserName in XML URL is replaced by $XML UserName.

For example:

The parameter XML UserName is cisco. The XML Directory Service URL is http://www.sipurash.compath?username=$XML_User_Name.

This results in the request URL: http://www.sipurash.com/path?username=cisco.

When authentication is required for CGI/Execute URL via Post from an external application (for example, a web application) to the phones, the parameter CISCO XML EXE Auth Mode is used in 3 different scenarios:

• Trusted—No authentication is performed (local user password is set or not). This is the default.

• Local Credential—Authentication is based on digest authentication using the local user password, if the local user password is set. If not set, then no authentication is performed.

• Remote Credential—Authentication is based on digest authentication using the remote username/password as set in the XML application on the web page (to access an XML application server).

You can use macro variables in XML URLs. The following macro variables are supported:

• User ID—UID1, UID2 to UIDn

• Display name—DISPLAYNAME1, DISPLAYNAME2 to DISPLAYNAMEn

• Auth ID—AUTHID1, AUTHID2 to AUTHIDn

• Proxy—PROXY1, PROXY2 to PROXYn
