Participants on a conference call are managed by terminating incoming calls at a conference bridge and storing a record for each call entering the conference call, each record including identification of the caller and a corresponding port number of the conference bridge assigned to the call. A list of all callers currently connected to the conference call is maintained. Upon receiving a request from an administrative host of the conference call, the list of current conference call participants is communicated to the host. Upon receipt of a disconnect request from the host identifying a first record associated with a first conference call participant to be disconnected, the first record a corresponding first port number is located, and the call associated with the first port number is disconnected.

Abstract:

Conference call security is enhanced by a process for validating participants seeking to join the conference call by terminating an incoming call at a conference bridge and requiring a valid conference code input by the caller. A type of security to be utilized for the particular conference call is determined. A first validation method determines if the caller is authorized to access the conference call, and if the caller is validated, granting the caller access to participate in the conference call. If the first validation method does not validate the caller, a second validation method that is different from the first validation method is used to determine if the caller is authorized to access the conference call. If the second validation method validates the caller, the caller is granted access to participate in the conference call. If the second validation method does not validate the caller, the caller is denied access to participate in the conference call.
