Properties in the idpsdx.py File

You can modify the following properties in the idpsdx.py file.

RECORD URL

URL of the record interface of the IDP captive portal that stores information received from IDP. The interface records information about detrimental traffic under the source and destination of the traffic. The security rules configured in IDP determine the type of incidents recorded.
Value—“ <URL>”
Guidelines—Enclose the URL in quotation marks because this entry is a Python string. The value “ http://<IP-address>/idpPortal/Record” is the default URL specified in the WEB-INF/web.xml file for idpPortal.war.
Example—“ http://192.0.2.25/idpPortal/Record”

DSA URL

URL of the Web application server running Dynamic Service Activator and the path to the Web service description of Dynamic Service Activator.
Value—URL in the form “ http(s)://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port> //dsa/services/DynamicServiceActivation?wsdl”
- <user>—Client ID configured for Dynamic Service Activator
- <password>—Password associated with the client ID configured for Dynamic Service Activator
- <host>—Hostname or IP address of the server on which Dynamic Service Activator runs
- <port>—Port number used by Dynamic Service Activator on the server
- wsdl—Indicates Web Services Description Language
Guidelines—Enclose the URL in quotation marks because this entry is a Python string.
In the sample implementation, Dynamic Service Activator is used by the idpsdx.py integration script to send e-mail and activate the captive portal service.
Example—“ http://idp:secret@10.227.6.171:8080//dsa/services/DynamicServiceActivation?wsdl”
