The following elements make up the Support/Base software utilities.
The Apache process (httpd) is a Web server. The Apache process serves the GUI based on Java™ technology to client browsers.
The MySQL 5.6.31 database was selected for the LNP database to store all the LNP and service provider data. This database consists of a runtime application programming interface (API) and data files. The data files are organized as follows:
One database that stores locally provisioned data
One database for each supported NPAC region
A resynchronization database that is used for automatic resynchronizations with network elements; this database can store up to one million data objects
Whenever the two LSMS servers are in active/standby mode, all databases are replicated between the two servers, with the active server acting as the master and the standby server acting as the slave.
SSH/SSL is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit that implements the security and network encryption.
SSH/SSL provides secure data transmission through encryption keys. Encryption is required for the connection between the NPAC and the LSMS. The LSMS has a key for each NPAC that it services. For more information about keys, refer to the Configuration Guide.
