Web-based Administration Configuration

uOne requires an HTTP server for web-based administration tools such as uOne Administration and Personal Messaging Administration (PMA). Large operational environments should install this server on its own system. For availability reasons, a second HTTP server should be installed as a backup server for web administration. No other configuration requirements exist for the HTTP server.

This section specifies the packages to install on the HTTP servers for web-based administration, the order in which to install them, and the procedures for installing packages.

Prerequisites

Note The quickconfig tool sets up the schemaConfig.ini.

A few configuration issues should be addressed in order to have a functional Web Administration tool. After ensuring the appropriate packages have been installed—uonewaenv, uoneumsa
, uonepma—perform the following steps:

Configure the .ini files listed in the following section.
Access the uOne Administration screen via the browser—http://<host.cisco.com>:280/MSGadmin—and configure the LDAP server. This is available within the Global Configuration section.
Add an Administrator (Greeting, and others as needed). See the uOne Administration Manual for further details.

Configuring the .ini Files

Five uOne Administration .ini files are user-configurable. Do not configure files other than those listed.

The defaultData.ini file contains the default notification for the telephone and pager (if added).
The indexData.ini file contains a list of supported location indices and values to be used by the broadcast message feature.
The pagerData.ini file contains a name of the paging provider that will be supported by your SNPP paging server.

All of these configuration files are located in the same directory as the other UMSA configuration files—/home2/spmaster/ADMIN/cgi-bin/MSGadmin/MSGdata.

defaultData.ini File

This file contains the default (initial) notification values that will be set when a new subscriber and a pager are added through uOne Administration. The attribute list label is located between the brackets, followed by the number of attributes entry, the attributes, and a reference entry. The attribute list label and the reference entry should not be modified. The number of attributes entry can be changed just as long as it matches the number of attributes. The values listed below are all the valid modification attributes recognized by uOne. No other values are recognized. There must be no gaps in the numbering of options. The attributes can be deleted or added, but only these six attribute names used in the example are valid and recognized.

Example of defaultData.ini (using all attributes)

[addNotifyforNewPager]numOfAttrs=6

attr1=notifyvoicenormal

attr2=notifyvoiceurgent

attr3=notifyfaxnormal

attr4=notifyfaxurgent

attr5=notifyemailnormal

attr6=notifyemailurgent

referenceAttr=pager
 
[addNotifyforNewSub]

numOfAttrs=6

attr1=notifyvoicenormal

attr2=notifyvoiceurgent

attr3=notifyfaxnormal

attr4=notifyfaxurgent

attr5=notifyemailnormal

attr6=notifyemailurgent

referenceAttr=cn

indexData.ini

This file contains the definition of locations that can be assigned to subscribers for use with broadcast messaging. The option list label is located between the brackets, followed by the number of options entry, the options, and a default value. The option list label should not be modified. The default value can be changed but the entry should not be removed. The number of options and the options themselves can be changed in the following ways. The number of options entry can be changed just as long as it matches the number of options. The values for the options must have the following format:

: optionXX=Value,Text string

where XX is a numeric value corresponding to its position within the options list. No gaps may exist in the numbering of options. Value is the data to be stored in the LDAP database, and Text string is the data to be displayed to the user.

Example 13-1: Example of indexData.ini

[filterindex]

numOfOptions=1

option1=l, location

defaultValue=location

 
[l]

numOfOptions=4

option1=0, Default

option2=1, Location 1

option3=2, Location 2

option4=3, Location 3

defaultValue=0

pagerData.ini

The pagerData.ini file contains the names of the paging providers supported by your Paging Server. The option list label is located between the brackets, followed by the number of options entry, the options, and a default value. The option list label should not be modified. The default value can be changed, but the entry should not be removed. The number of options and the options themselves can be changed in the following ways. The number of options entry can be changed as long as it matches the number of options. The values for the options must have the following format:

: optionXX=Value,Text string

where XX is a numeric value corresponding to its position within the options list. No gaps may exist in the numbering of options. Value is the data that is going to be stored in the LDAP database, and Text string is the data that is displayed to the user.

The information in this file is displayed in a pull-down menu in uOne Administration under Subscriber Administration/Add Paging Information. This file is used only by uOne Administration.
