Configuring the SAE for External Plug-Ins

You need to configure SAE external plug-ins for SAE plug-in agents in the NIC, for Admission Control Plug-Ins, and for custom plug-ins developed in Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). For information about external plug-ins, see SRC-PE Network Guide, Chapter 1, Overview of the SAE.

When you use an external plug-in, you need to export its object reference to the SAE. When the SAE sends the first event to a registered plug-in, it resolves the object reference. In case of a failure, the SAE resolves the object reference again. In this case, if a plug-in restarts and instantiates a different object (that is, a different object reference), the SAE learns about the new object through the naming service or the file reference.

You can configure the SAE to resolve the object reference and specify which attributes to send to the external plug-in. To do so with SDX Configuration Editor:

  1. In the Plug-In Pool area of the Plug-Ins pane, create an external plug-in instance as described in Creating Plug-In Instances.

The instance appears in the Plug-In Pool area.

  1. Fill in the fields for the plug-in instance as described below.

CORBA Object reference

corbaname::<host>[:<port>][/NameService]#<key>
