No need for mutual authentication that is why putting the Polycom CA into sipX is not documented in the wiki. However, it should also work if you push the correct Polycom CA into sipX. Feel free to update the wiki if you get it working.

I've installed the following chain of Polycom CAs in SipX (not via GUI though) downloaded from http://pki.polycom.com/pki/

Polycom Root CA.crt  <http://pki.polycom.com/pki/Polycom%20Root%20CA.crt>
Polycom Equipment Policy CA.crt  
<http://pki.polycom.com/pki/Polycom%20Equipment%20Policy%20CA.crt>
Polycom Equipment Issuing CA 1.crt  
<http://pki.polycom.com/pki/Polycom%20Equipment%20Issuing%20CA%201.crt>

Maybe I shall install the last one as well, the "Polycom Issuing CA 2". I've also, as mentioned, installed the SipX self-signed CA onto the Polycom phone using the info in the SipX Wiki. The Wiki does not describe the procedure of installing the Polycom Root CA in order to use TLS. It only talks about getting the SipX CA cert onto the Polycom phone. What is required? Do we really use mutual TLS authentication, or only server based authentication (client authenticates server by installing the CA cert of SipX)?

Is anyone running SIP over TLS for Polycom phones?

I have proposed being able to upload phone CA via the config. I know there are several CA for Polycom as documented in the site. Decrypt Error seems to indicate that you have uploaded the wrong CA signature than what your phone is sending. We need to pull some strings in Polycom to get into the bottom of this. Perhaps one with subscription support?

Hi all,

I'm trying to get TLS working properly between the connected endpoints (Polycom 
Soundpoint IP335) and the SipXproxy. No firewalls/NAT or anything inbetween.

I'm running v3.2.5 on the Polycoms and SipXecs version 4.4.0- 
2011-04-01EDT23:24:23 domU-12-31-39-0E-DD-81

I have followed the guide provided on the Wiki 
(http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/Installing+the+Root+CA+Server+Certificate+on+the+Polycom+Phone)
 and 
(http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/Polycom+Phone+using+sipXecs+TLS+transport)
 but still, no sucess. The polycom UI tells me that the SipX CA ceritifate is 
installed
successfully on the phone and I've tried both using "All Certificates" and "Custom 
Certificates" in the Polycom settings.

However, no TLS. I look at the Wireshark traces and notice the the TLS 
handshake is failing since (as far as I understand it) the Polycom is not 
sending the correct client certificate to the
server. After server has sent Certificate, Certificate Request and 
ServerHelloDone, the Polycom responds with a Certificate message containing the 
Polycom certificates, not the by SipX
generated (and on the Polycom installed) certificate. This ends with a Fatal 
Error and the Polycom falls back to TCP.

First, the error was "Unknown CA" but after installing the Polycom chain of root CA on 
SipX, it's now "Decrypt Error"... But the guide says nothing about the need to install 
the Polycom device
Root CA on the SipX server in this situation.

I'm confused... and would be very happy with some guidance...
