Allowing Subscribers to Manage Their Accounts with the Subscriber Portal

We provide a sample subscriber portal for the Quota VTA that subscribers can use to manage their accounts. You can use this portal to demonstrate and test the SRC-VTA. In a production environment, you must integrate your customer interface with these portals. For more information, contact Juniper Networks Professional Services.

The sample portal is designed to be used with the Quota configuration example in the sample data. As a result, the portals expect the Periodic and Bought accounts.

The Quota VTA creates an account with zero balance and inactive status the first time that the subscriber logs in. Typically, you direct subscribers to the subscriber portal when they log in for the first time. The subscriber can activate the periodic account and buy bandwidth. Subscribers are billed according to the choices they make. When an administrator replenishes periodic accounts, the subscriber receives a new quota of bandwidth and is billed for that quota.

Subscribers can deactivate their periodic accounts. Subscribers who do so can use the balance of their periodic quotas before you replenish periodic accounts. At this time, inactive accounts expire, and their balances are set to zero. Subscribers can reactivate their accounts at any time and will be billed for the new periodic quota.
