PSTN user authentication

  • Article

Applies to: Skype for Business 2015

Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 5.0 applications add the ability to authenticate a user to the Skype for Business Server 2015/ servers by means of a Skype for Business Server 2015 user personal identification number (PIN), or by authenticating a user separately, and then using server trust to take actions on behalf of that user.

UCMA 5.0 includes the ApplicationPinServices class, which has a method that can be used to verify a PIN.

With the ability to authenticate users by PINs, a mobile user can call aUCMA 5.0 application, present a single PIN, and then be authenticated to his or her mailbox to perform such tasks as reading mail using text-to-speech (TTS) or accessing his or her contact list. The Voice Companion sample that ships with Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 5.0 SDK demonstrates how these actions can be carried out.
