across these categories. Upon creation, the administrator is assigned
to a particular role. This enables the service provider to create various
administrator roles to suit specific needs. In each category, the role can
have any combination of the following rights: Read, Write, and Delete. For
example, a user admin role can be created which gives the ability to read
domain information, and to read, modify, and delete user information. The
administrators given this role cannot manipulate the telephony routes, or
other areas of the AS 5300 system. OPI authorizes each request to verify
that the incoming credentials have the appropriate role to perform the
given action.
Third-party client development
This section describes the steps necessary to develop third-party
Provisioning clients.
OPI provides customer-specific applications with an interface into the
AS 5300 provisioning system. The customer application passes an object
to a generated stub. The stub translates the object into a SOAP message
and passes it to the skeleton in the Provisioning Manager. The skeleton
translates the SOAP message back to an object, and sends it to the
Provisioning Manager data access processes. The data access processes
communicate with the Oracle Database. The translations happen in
reverse from the Provisioning Manager to the customer application.

Get the WSDL
The WSDL file for AS 5300 is stored on the System Manager server.
Retrieve the file from the loads directory on the System Manager server,
located at
/var/mcp/loads//clientAPI/wsdl/opi/*
.wsdl .
Generate stubs
The stub is a translator. It takes the OPI object, converts it to a SOAP
message and sends it to the Provisioning Manager. Likewise, a SOAP
message from the Provisioning Manager is translated back to an OPI
object. HTTP and HTTPS are used as the transport for OPI. The
Provisioning Module listens on port 8080 for the SOAP over HTTP
messages, and port 8443 for the SOAP over HTTPS messages.
