Interface Manager

All Superinterfaces:

Persistent

public interface Manager
extends Persistent

This is the interface used to manipulate the enterprise managers. Managers have a password and a set of privileges that allow them to modify data in the SSC's LDAP directory. Managers can have the following roles:

• Administrators: managers that administer other managers.
• Subscription managers: managers that add, delete, and modify subscriptions.
• Substitution managers: managers that modify service parameter substitutions.
• Activation managers: managers that activate and deactivate subscriptuions.

There is a privilege defined for each of these manager roles (see the constants defined by this interface for more detail). To give a Manager a specific privilege, one must add the value, such as "Administrators", "Subscritpions", "Substitutions" and "Activations", to the manager's optional multi-valued string-attribute "role". This can be done by calling this interface's setPrivieges method. Note that some privileges imply other privileges, and some privileges overlap:

• Administrators are implicitly Subscription, Substitution, and Activation managers; they can do everything.
• Subscription managers are implicitly Activation managers; they can activate and deactivate subscriptions as well as create and delete subscriptions.
• Subscription managers are implicity Substitutions managers, but only for the service parameter substitutions that are defined in subscriptions, and not those defined elsewhere.
• Substitution managers have no implicit privileges; they can only modify substitutions.

All of these privileges are restricted such that Managers can modify only entries in the scope (i.e. the LDAP subtree) to which they are bound (see ServiceProvider.bind(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)).

However, all Managers, regardless of privileges, are able to read all of the following objects:

• All the objects in the scope (i.e. the LDAP subtree) to which the Manager is bound.
• All the "parent" Subscribers above the root of that scope, plus the Subscriptions immediately under those "parent" Subscribers. For example, if the Manager is bound to an Access under a Site under an Enterprise, he could call theAccess.getParent().getParent() in order to read the grandparent Enterprise Subscriber. Calling getParent() on that Enterprise object would return null, however, since it has no parent Subscriber.
• All the Services available for subscription (see ServiceProvider.getServices()).
• All global variables (see ServiceProvider.getGlobals()).

Field Detail

ADMINISTER

static final java.lang.String ADMINISTER

One of the privileges that can be granted to a Manager. This privilege controls whether the manager can create and delete other Managers and modify their privileges. This privilege implicitly includes all the other privileges, so a manager with the ADMINISTER privilege implicitly has the MODIFYSUBSC, MODIFYSUBST, and ACTIVATESUBSC privileges.

MODIFYSUBSC

static final java.lang.String MODIFYSUBSC

One of the privileges that can be granted to a Manager. This privilege controls whether the manager can add, delete, or modify subscription entries in the LDAP directory.

MODIFYSUBST

static final java.lang.String MODIFYSUBST

Constant Field Values

ACTIVATESUBSC

static final java.lang.String ACTIVATESUBSC

One of the privileges that can be granted to a Manager. This privilege controls whether the manager can modify service parameter substitutions that are defined in LDAP entries for Enterprises, Sites, Accesses, and Subscriptions.
