16.2.2.3 LCS - Security Considerations

You must configure an external application for Microsoft Live Communications Server connections so that users can supply credentials to authenticate themselves on the LCS server. With a secured application, users get presence status. With LCS, if security is required, then LCS should be on a private trusted network. LCS provides an option for changing external credentials, which works as an alternative to using an external application. A logged-in user can click any Presence tag and select Change Credentials from the menu. For more information, see Section 16.3.1, Registering Instant Messaging and Presence Servers Using Fusion Middleware Control.
