Logging in/Logging out

This section provides the concepts and procedures for logging on to and logging off from the Web GUI.

Log On to the Web GUI

You can log on to the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) as a User or an as Administrator, depending on your permissions.

If your system Administrator configured the optional logon page message, the system displays the message after you enter your logon credentials. After reading the message, click Close, and the system displays the GUI.

1. On a PC, open a supported Internet browser.
2. Start the GUI with either the HTTP or HTTPS logon.

   http://<Server IP address>
   https://<Server IP address>

   Note:

   Whether you log on using HTTP or HTTPS depends on the settings for your deployment. Contact your system Administrator for more information.
3. Enter your Web GUI username and password.
4. Click Login.

Log Off the Web GUI

To log off from the Web GUI, click Logout from the <logged-on-username> menu in the upper right corner of the Web GUI. In the following illustration, Admin is the name of the user who is logged on.

The system logs you off and displays the log on page.

User and Administrator Access Rules

Users and Administrators can use the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) Web GUI according to the rules for their role.

The following table lists the Web GUI access rules for the User and Administrator roles.

User	Read-only access only View basic and advanced configuration information Cannot save and activate a configuration Cannot add a configuration Cannot edit a configuration
Administrator	Add, edit, and view configurations Add, edit, and view advanced configurations Save and activate a configuration Switch between Basic mode and Expert mode

Simultaneous Logons

The Web GUI allows simultaneous logons for both the User and Administrator. Session availability to the User and Admin depends on which type of user is logged on to the session. The following illustrations depict and explain the system behavior when a User and an Administrator log on to a Web GUI session.

Up to five users can log onto the same session at the same IP address at the same time. Only one Administrator at a time can have full control of a simultaneous session. If more than five users attempt to log on, the system displays the following error message:

User limit reached. Please try again later.

Change the Log On Password

Use the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller ACLI to change a user or administrator logon password.

To change a password, use the secret command from the ACLI to change the logon password for a user and the config password for an Administrator. For more information about setting passwords, see the Oracle Enterprise Session Border Controller ACLI Configuration Guide

Radius Server Roles and Access Privileges

The Web GUI supports RADIUS authentication functionality similar to a user logging on by way of Secure Shell (SSH) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Available functions depend on the role that you assign to the "userclass" on the RADIUS server.

• When you configure the RADIUS server as userclass=admin, the system allows the Administrator full access to all features and functions after logging onto the GUI.
• When you configure the RADIUS server as userclass=user, the system limits User access to the following features and functions after logging onto the GUI.

  • Full access to all SIP Monitor and Trace features and functions

  • Can download the following files in System File Management:

    • Backup configuration
    • Configuration CSV
    • Local subscriber table (LST)
    • Log
    • Software image
    • SPL Plug-in (SPL)

    Note:

    "User" cannot upload files in System File Management.
