Local Subscriber Table

A local subscriber table (LST) is an XML formatted file that contains one or more usernames associated with a hash as encrypted or plaintext. The LST is saved locally on the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker’s file system.

LSTs enable a standalone Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker node or high-availability (HA) pair to forego relying on an external user database. Thus the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker does not need to communicate with a server to authenticate users. This can eliminate the operational complexity of deploying a highly available credential storage system.
