How IDP E-Mailer Responds to Incidents Reported by IDP
When an incident activates the IDP E-Mailer application
for a subscriber, the following arguments are provided to the application
in the following order:
- Source of the incident
- Destination of the incident
- Description of the incident
The application uses this information when it creates
the e-mail message.
The demonstration IDP E-Mailer application is a
servlet that maps a subscriber’s IP address (for addresses identified
as the source or destination of detrimental traffic) to an e-mail
address and then sends e-mail to the designated subscriber in the
following manner:
- Uses NIC to locate the SAE that manages the specified
IP address.
- Uses the SAE CORBA remote API to obtain the subscriber
session for the IP address.
- If the subscriber session is active, obtains the login
name associated with the subscriber session.
- Creates the e-mail address by appending a domain name
that is specified in the IDP E-Mailer configuration to the subscriber
login name. For example, for a domain specified as mycompany.com,
and a subscriber login of ChrisB, the e-mail address would be ChrisB@mycompany.com.
- Creates a message that includes the text received from
IDP that specifies the IP address of the source of the detrimental
traffic received, or the destination of the detrimental traffic being
sent, and a description of the incident.
- Sends the message.
The configuration for IDP E-Mailer specifies:
- Text to appear on the subject line of the e-mail
- Introductory text to appear in the body of an e-mail message
for detrimental traffic sent by the subscriber
- Introductory text to appear in the body of an e-mail message
for detrimental traffic sent to the subscriber
