The customer had an existing element management
system and network element controller. The EMS
communicated with the element controller to extract
the required data from the network element for
management purposes.
One of the major end-customer of Wipro's customer
wanted to deploy a optical network and wanted
to have enhanced security features at the network
element controller.
One of the major enhancements was a centralized
security mechanism wherein the users can authenticate
and authorize from a central location, element
management system. The security mechanism had
to synchronize with network element and NE
controller layers.
The element controller and the network element
performed user authentication with the local database
of its own. It was required to decouple the authentication
from local databases and having the same at element
management system layer.
Other features like Keyboard locking, port locking
and max invalid attempts was required to be implemented
and the parameters need to be distributed to the
complete network.
