Configuring an Enterprise Service Portal

Follow the configuration instructions in this section for:

Tasks to configure an enterprise service portal are:

  1. Accessing the Configuration Files
  2. Configuring Connections to the Subscriber Directory
  3. Configuring Connections to the Service Directory on Solaris Platforms
  4. Configuring Search Bases for Each Directory
  5. Configuring the Logging Properties
  6. (Optional) Configure a NIC proxy if you use a NIC to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers. See Configuring a NIC Proxy.
  7. (Optional) Configure directory eventing if you use directory eventing to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers. See Configuring Directory Eventing for SAE Identification.
  8. Exporting the Configuration to the Directory

If you use an enterprise service portal audit plug-in with your application, also complete the following task:

Accessing the Configuration Files

On a Solaris platform, use SDX Configuration Editor to configure properties for enterprise service portals. For information about using SDX Configuration Editor, see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 39, Using SDX Configuration Editor.

To access the enterprise service portal configuration:

  1. Start SDX Configuration Editor.
  2. Import the sample data from the directory.
  3. Open the folder called enterprise service portal.
  4. Open the file for the enterprise service portal that you want to configure.

Configuring Connections to the Subscriber Directory

To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure the connections to the directory that contains information about subscribers:

  1. Click the LDAP tab in the configuration file.

The LDAP pane appears.

  1. Expand the entry called User Data, and configure the properties for the directory that contains information about subscribers.
  2. Save the file.

Server Address

Server Port

Authentication DN

Password

Enable SNMP Monitoring

Secured LDAP Protocol

Filter for Loading Subscriptions

Session Usage Refresh Time Interval

Configuring Connections to the Service Directory on Solaris Platforms

To configure the connections to the directory that contains information about subscribers:

  1. Click the LDAP tab in the configuration file.

The LDAP pane appears.

  1. Expand the entry called Service Data, and configure the properties for the directory that contains information about subscribers.
  2. Save the file.

Server Address

Server Port

Authentication DN

Password

Enable SNMP Monitoring

Secured LDAP protocol

Enable Directory Eventing

Polling Interval

Configuring Search Bases for Each Directory

You configure the base DNs of information that the enterprise service portal uses in each directory.

To configure the search bases (the base DNs in the directory that store particular types of information):

  1. Click the LDAP tab in the configuration file.

The LDAP pane appears.

  1. Expand the entry called Search Base, and configure the properties under this entry.
  2. Save the file.

Subscribers

Services

Global Parameters

Operators

Service Scopes

Network

Configuring the Logging Properties

To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure logging properties:

  1. Click the Logging tab in the configuration file.

The Logging pane appears.

  1. Configure the logging properties.

You can see default settings for logging in this file. For information about configuring logging, see SRC-PE Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter 4, Configuring Logging for SRC Components on a Solaris Platform.

  1. Save the file.

Configuring a NIC Proxy

If you use a NIC to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers, configure a NIC proxy for the enterprise service portal. Do not configure a NIC proxy for NAT Address Management Portal, because it does not need to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers.

To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure a NIC proxy:

  1. Click the SAE Resolution tab in the configuration file.
  2. Expand the entry called NIC Proxy, and configure the properties under this entry.

For information about configuring NIC proxies, see SRC-PE Network Guide, Chapter 13, Configuring Applications to Communicate with an SAE.

  1. Save the file.

Configuring Directory Eventing for SAE Identification

For SRC implementations that use five or fewer SAEs, you can configure the enterprise service portal to use directory eventing to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers. Do not configure this feature for NAT Address Management Portal, because it does not need to identify the SAEs that manage subscribers.

To use the SDX Configuration Editor to configure directory eventing for SAE identification:

  1. Click the SAE Resolution tab in the configuration file.
  2. Expand the entry called Polling-based SAE Resolution, and configure the properties under this entry.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Be sure that the property ent.feedback.urlupdateinterval is configured in the SAE configuration (see Modifying the SAE Property File).

SAE Keepalive Check Interval in Seconds

SAE References

Exporting the Configuration to the Directory

For information about exporting the configuration to the directory, see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 39, Using SDX Configuration Editor. Enterprise service portal configurations are exported to l=EASP, ou=staticConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Management, o=umc.
