As indicated in the lower half of the diagram, a Cisco Small Business Client
Certificate Root Authority signs each unique certificate. The corresponding root
certificate is made available to service providers for client authentication
purposes.
Provisioning Setup
This section describes setup requirements for provisioning an IP Telephony
Device and includes the following topics:
Software Tools, page 23
Server Configuration, page 24
TFTP, page 24
HTTP, page 24
Enabling HTTPS, page 26
Syslog Server, page 28
Software Tools
The following software tools are useful for provisioning Cisco Small Business IP
Telephony Devices :
Open source gzip compression utility, used when generating configuration
profiles
Open source OpenSSL software package: for profile encryption and
HTTPS operations
Scripting language with CGI scripting support, such as the open source Perl
language tools: to test dynamic generation of profiles and one-step remote
provisioning using HTTPS
Ethernet packet analyzer (such as the freely downloadable Ethereal/
Wireshark): to verify secure exchanges between provisioning servers and
Cisco Small Business voice devices
The ssldump utility: for monitoring HTTPS transactions
