User Interfaces Release 9.1 Subscriber Provisioning Reference Manual User authentication Once the EA connects to the SDM, it must authenticate itself before any other action can be performed. The authentication process is performed through a user name/password mechanism. The table below describes the information required for the authentication. Table 3: Authentication information The user authentication is done differently depending on the mode used to process the provisioning requests: In direct mode, the user authentication can be done by sending an authentication request (Request Type: Operation) as the first request after establishing the connection.
In batch mode (through the CFL tool), the user authentication is done automatically. XML Templates The Tekelec system provides the Command Template Loader tool that is designed to load templates into the system's database, which allows the operator to provision subscribers using those templates. A Template file is made up of 2 entities: Template Request Command Template The Command Template and associated Template Requests have to be defined and loaded onto the database of the SDM with the CmdTemplateLoader tool. The Template file can be made up of a multiple number of Template Requests. A template file must be generated containing the two following entities:
Command Template and Template requests. Template Request definitions are stored in the database in the original XML request format . Then the CmdTemplateLoader tool is executed to load the template file into the database and process its XML Template requests.
