Locating and Removing Inactive Subscriptions to a VPN

When an IT manager cancels the export of a VPN, the Enterprise Manager Portal automatically deactivates any active subscriptions to that VPN for the associated extranet client. If an IT manager cancels the export of a VPN at the same time that the extranet client activates a subscription to this VPN, there is a remote possibility that the Enterprise Manager portal will maintain the active subscription.

We recommend that you periodically check for and deactivate these types of invalid subscriptions to prevent this type of invalid subscription. We provide a data integrator, VPN Subscription Deactivator, for this purpose. This data integrator works with the Enterprise Service Portal audit plug-in. For more information on data integrators and VPN Subscription Deactivator, see SRC-PE Integration Guide, Chapter 9, Integrating Data with the LDAP Directory.

To use this data integrator:

  1. Install and configure the Enterprise Service Portal audit plug-in with the Enterprise Manager portal (see Chapter 27, Installing and Configuring Enterprise Service Portals).
  2. Install the Data Integration package (see SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 28, Installing the SRC Software on a Solaris Platform).
  3. Run the script /opt/UMC/datint/etc/vpndatamgt with the check option, or configure a utility, such as a crontab file, to run this script at a defined time (see SRC-PE Integration Guide, Chapter 9, Integrating Data with the LDAP Directory).
