Author Access restrictions AXL/SOAP CCM4.2

Hi all,

while playing a little with the AXL/SOAP interface of CCM 4.2, I realized that
every authenticated user is able to read and modify (!) ALL settings, even
these of phones/lines that are not assigned to that user.

I would have expected that a user can only modify his own settings with the
AXL/SOAP interface. Hopefully, this is true and someone has an idea what is
wrong with my CCM settings ;-). Any hints?


Thanks,
Dietmar

Nope - it's true. With 4.2 and later you can restrict using MLA.

With previous versions of CM, we chose to restrict what ip address space could access the soap/axl interface within IIS.

Solution:

This is a known bug (CSCsc59620) that has been fixed in 4.2(1). Setting the
system parameter "Enable AXL Access Levels" to TRUE denies unauthorized
access to AXL. The default is, for whatever reason, FALSE!

True - but you'll still need to integrate to MLA for your 'allowed' users of soap/axl.....
