Whitelist Learning

You can build your whitelist configuration based on the learning capabilities of the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller. When you enable the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller learning mode, it acquires the knowledge of the allowable elements (headers and parameters) currently incoming to your network. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller collects the information about the headers received and the parameters that exist within each header. The information continues to be gathered until you disable the learning mode.

Once you disable the learning mode, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller prompts you to enter a name for the allowed-elements-profile. If the profile name you entered does not exist, the captured information is written to the new allowed-elements-profile configuration. The administrator can then make changes to the configuration as applicable, save the configuration, and apply it to a logical remote entity.

The new allowed-elements-profile does not contain any wildcard rules. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller cannot generate wildcard headers and parameters during the learning mode. The Methods object is populated from the list of methods seen by the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller while learning.

Note:

Oracle recommends running the learning mode during off-peak and/or light traffic times. This mode can operate in conjunction with the execution of an allowed-elements-profile. The learning occurs just before any configured allowed-elements-profile configuration.
