Configuring Deployment Settings for Enterprise Manager Portal

You configure deployment settings for Enterprise Manager Portal. You do not need to configure deployment settings for the sample Enterprise Service Portal or NAT Address Management Portal.

To configure deployment settings for Enterprise Manager Portal:

Access the temporary folder to which you copied the WAR file.
Extract the web.xml file from the WAR file.
Edit the web.xml file in the entmgr.war file with any text editor.
See Deployment Properties for Enterprise Manager Portal.
Replace the web.xml file in the WAR files.

Deployment Properties for Enterprise Manager Portal

The web.xml file contains deployment properties for Enterprise Manager Portal. This file specifies which applications Enterprise Manager Portal displays and specifies how to generate e-mails when IT managers request public IP addresses through this enterprise service portal. You can modify the following fields.

showBasicBandwidthOnDemand

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays basic bandwidth-on-demand (BoD) features.

Value
- True—Displays the basic BoD features
- False—Hides the basic BoD features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision basic BoD with a JUNOS routing platform. When enabled, service providers can offer basic BoD services to IT managers as service options that affect all traffic on an access link, including customizing the amount of bandwidth provided to meet their traffic requirements.
To make class of service (CoS) services available, BoD services and basic BoD services must be enabled. If both are enabled, IT managers must select a basic BoD service before they can subscribe to BoD services.

Default—True

showBandwidthOnDemand

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays BoD features.

Value
- True—Displays the BoD features
- False—Hides the BoD features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision BoD with a JUNOS routing platform. To make CoS services available, BoD services and basic BoD services must be enabled. If both are enabled, IT managers must select a basic BoD service before they can subscribe to BoD services.

Default—True

showFirewall

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays firewall features.

Value
- True—Displays the firewall features
- False—Hides the firewall features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision firewall services with a JUNOS routing platform.
If you set showFirewall to True and statelessFirewall to False, the portal provides support for stateful firewalls on JUNOS routing platforms.

Default—True

statelessFirewall

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays stateless firewall features.

Value
- True—Displays the stateless firewall features
- False—Hides the stateless firewall features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision firewall services on a JUNOS routing platform. The showFirewall field must also be set to True.
When you set statelessFirewall to True, the Firewall tab but not the Application tab appears in Enterprise Manager Portal.

You can configure either stateless firewalls or stateful firewalls from Enterprise Manager Portal. If you set showFirewall to True and statelessFirewall to False, the portal provides support for stateful firewalls on JUNOS routing platforms.

Default—True

showNat

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays NAT features.

Value
- True—Displays the NAT features
- False—Hides the NAT features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision NAT services with a JUNOS routing platform. If this property is set to True, the enterprise service portal always displays the firewall features, regardless of the value of the showFirewall property.

Default—True

showSchedule

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays scheduling features for services.

Value
- True—Displays the scheduling features
- False—Hides the scheduling features

Default—True

showVpn

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays VPN features.

Value
- True—Displays the VPN features
- False—Hides the VPN features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision VPNs with a JUNOS routing platform. If you set this property to True, you must also set the showBandwidthOnDemand property to True.

Default—True

showExtranet

Whether or not the enterprise service portal displays VPN extranet features.

Value
- True—Displays the VPN extranet features
- False—Hides the VPN extranet features

Guidelines—Specify True if you want to provision VPN extranets with a JUNOS routing platform. If you set this property to True, you must also set the showVPN property to true.

Default—True

junoseCompatibleBoD

Whether or not the enterprise service portal can be used to configure BoD services on JUNOSe routers.

Value
- True—Provides configuration for BoD services on JUNOSe routers
- False—Does not provide configuration for BoD services on JUNOSe routers

Guidelines—If set to true, this field allows BoD services to be configured for JUNOSe routers as well as JUNOS routing platforms. This setting limits the configuration for IP protocol, source IP address, source port or port range, destination IP address, and destination port or port range for a BoD rule to one each for JUNOS routing platforms as well as JUNOSe routers. The online help indicates that users can specify one value for these fields if junoseCompatibleBoD is set to True, and that users can specify more than one value for these fields if junoseCompatibleBoD is set to False.
Consider that if both JUNOS routing platforms and JUNOSe routers exist in an enterprise’s network, IT managers who are using the enterprise service portal to configure their SRC-managed environment do not know which routers are JUNOSe routers and which are JUNOS routing platforms.

Default—False

machineReadableNotifications

Format of the e-mails that indicate that public addresses have been requested or released for a particular access link.

Value
- True—E-mails contain XML code and will be handled by a machine.
- False—E-mails contain ordinary text and will be handled by a human administrator.

Default—False

renotificationInterval

Minimum time between e-mails that notify the service provider about outstanding requests for IP addresses.

Value—Number of seconds in the range 1–2147483647
Guidelines—For actual SRC implementations that use a human administrator, we recommend a value of 86400 seconds (1 day). For demonstrations of the SRC software that use a human administrator, we recommend a value of 240 seconds. For actual SRC implementations that use machines, the value depends on how you design an application to handle the e-mails; a value of 600 seconds (10 minutes) may be a good starting point.

Default—120

Example—200

addressManagerUrl

URL of NAT Address Management Portal that the service provider uses to manage public IP addresses for enterprises. This value is included in the e-mails about IP addresses.

Value—URL in the format

http://<host>:<port><path>

notificationText

Text that appears in the body of the e-mail.

Value—Text string in XML format that specifies the body of the e-mail message
