For the AE Services implementation for Microsoft LCS, authentication and authorization are handed as follows.
AE Services authenticates Live Communications Server by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to verify the Live Communications Server certificate.
The Live Communications Server authenticates (confirms the identify) of the Microsoft Office Communicator user.
AE Services authenticates Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 by using TLS to verify the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 certificate.
The Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 authenticates (confirms the identify) of the Microsoft Office Communicator user.
The AE Services Server, in turn, authorizes (grants permission to) the user for device control.
To carry out authorization, AE Services verifies that the requested Tel URI matches the Tel URI in the user record before granting access to a device.
