Configuring Subscriptions

After you add subscribers, you configure service subscriptions for the subscribers. Residential or enterprise subscribers may also be able to configure subscriptions through the portal, and operators assigned to a subscriber object may be able to configure subscriptions for that object.

The following sections describe how to configure the different types of subscriptions:

Configuring Subscriptions to Value-Added Services

You must add a value-added service to the directory before you can specify that service for subscribers. See SRC-PE Services and Policies Guide, Chapter 2, Managing Services on a Solaris Platform.

After you configure a subscription to a value-added service, the service is available to the subscriber through the portal. Depending on the configuration, the subscriber may need to activate the service. You can configure schedules to define when value-added services are available to subscribers. See SRC-PE Services and Policies Guide, Chapter 5, Scheduling Services on a Solaris Platform.

To configure a subscription to a value-added service:

  1. In the SDX Admin navigation pane, right-click the subscriber to which you want to add a subscription, and select New > SSP Subscription.

The New SSP Subscription dialog box appears.

  1. Select a service from the Service Name menu.
  2. To create multiple subscriptions to the same service, enter a subscription ID. (See Allowing Multiple Subscriptions per Subscriber.)
  3. Click OK.

An object for the new subscription appears in the navigation pane, and the SSP Subscription pane appears.

  1. Use the field descriptions in Value-Added Subscription Fields to configure the subscription, and then click Save.

Configuring Access Subscriptions

You must configure an access subscription for an enterprise or a site. An access subscription determines the way that the enterprise or site accesses Internet services, and specifies a set of value-added services that are available to the enterprise or site. You must add an access service to the directory before you create an access subscription. See SRC-PE Services and Policies Guide, Chapter 2, Managing Services on a Solaris Platform.

You can specify multiple access services; for example, you might want to specify primary and secondary services for Internet access.

To configure a subscription to an access service:

  1. In the SDX Admin navigation pane, right-click the enterprise or site for which you want to specify an access service, and select New > Access Subscription.

The New Access Subscription dialog box appears.

  1. Enter a name for the subscription that is unique for the enterprise or site, select a service from the Used Service menu, and click OK.

An object for the new access subscription appears in the navigation pane, and the Access Subscription pane appears.

  1. Use the field descriptions in Access Subscription Fields to configure the access subscriptions, and click Save.
  2. Enter information in the other tabs:

The New RADIUS Subscription dialog box appears.

An object for the new subscription appears in the navigation pane, and the RADIUS Subscription pane appears.

Some values for the RADIUS subscription are inherited from the RADIUS service. However, you can change these values to make them specific to the subscriber.

  1. Use the field descriptions in RADIUS Subscription Fields to configure the subscription, and click OK.

You can define RADIUS attributes in generic schema format, in which each RADIUS attribute corresponds to one LDAP attribute. These values are displayed in the Generic and ERX VSA tabs.
