Overview

This chapter describes the main flow of administrative tasks required to configure and manage OCMS.

Installing OCMS

For installation instructions, see Oracle Communication and Mobility Server Installation Guide.

Deployment Topologies

The Deployment Topologies chapter describes:

• OCMS components

• Highly available OCMS topologies

• Single node OCMS topologies

• Choosing an appropriate topology

See:

For more information about configuring a highly available OCMS environment, see Chapter 3, "Deployment Topologies".

Provisioning

Provisioning users and applications involves:

• Creating users

• Assigning users communication IDs and security roles

• Provisioning XDMS application usage

See:

For more information, see Chapter 5, "Provisioning Users and Applications".

Configuring the SIP Servlet Container

Configuring the SIP servlet container involves:

• Managing the SIP servlet container

• Configuring the following:

  • The IP address and port from which the SIP servlet receives traffic

  • The domains and realms handled by the SIP servlet

  • The DNS caching server to be used by the SIP servlet container

  • The contact address to embed in the headers of outgoing SIP messages

  • The Application Router, used to route SIP requests to the correct applications.

See:

For more information, see Chapter 4, "Configuring the SIP Servlet Container".

Managing Authentication and Security

Managing OCMS authentication and security involves:

• Configuring user authentication

• Authorizing Presence

• Securing traffic with digest authentication and trusted hosts

See:

For more information, see Chapter 6, "OCMS Security".

Deploying Applications

Deploying applications involves packaging developed applications for deployment on the SIP server. The main steps of deploying an application include:

• Packaging an application

• Deploying an application

• Starting an application

See:

For more information, see Chapter 7, "Packaging and Deploying Applications".

Configuring High Availability

Configuring high availability involves:

• Configuring OCMS SIP containers for high availability

• Configuring SIP Servlet applications for high availability

• Configuring the Edge Proxy for high availability

• Configuring the Proxy Registrar for high availability

See:

For more information, see Chapter 8, "Configuring High Availability".

Managing OCMS Components

Managing OCMS components involves:

• Managing components using the Oracle Application Server Control Console

• Configuring deployed applications

• Monitoring performance

See:

For more information, see Chapter 9, "Managing the SIP Server".

Logging

Logging SIP traffic involves:

• Setting log levels

• Viewing and interpreting log data, including the following categories:

  • Traffic logs

  • System logs

  • Charging/event logs

• Managing logging

See:

For more information, see Chapter 10, "Configuring the Logging System".
