How it works

The web interface communicates with a web application hosted by Rhino Element Manager, which communicates with the HSS through the Sh Cache Microservice. Administrators can use it to:

  • view provisioned data

  • configure important settings

  • add new data to the HSS

  • remove data from the HSS.

Prerequisites

Before using the editor, you need to configure:

For more information on Operator Determined Barring see Operator Determined Barring.

Using the Data Editor

To use the Data Editor:

1

From REM’s monitoring screen, select Sentinel ▶ HSS Subscriber Data.

location subcriber data editor

It may take a few seconds before the screen appears on first load. It should look like this:

hss data query box

2

Follow the procedures to load or view, edit, or remove transparent data for an IMS public identity.

Load or view transparent data for an IMS public identity

Warning The HSS that the Editor queries depends on which network you’ve chosen. These instructions assume that, before loading data, you have configured the HSS address for the network operator.

To load or view data:

1

Type the IMS public identity into the IMS User Identity field, and click the Load button.

load an identity from hss

HSS Subscriber Data displays.

loaded hss subscriber data
Note
Loading errors

If there’s an error — for example, because the HSS is unavailable, the network operator is not configured properly, or the data cannot be parsed — a red-coloured error message will display in the panel, and red text in the log below. In the following example, a Sentinel network operator called ‘SteveInc’ has not been configured properly.

Edit transparent data for an IMS public identity

To edit data that you’ve loaded in the Editor:

1

Click the Edit button.

Fields become editable.

2

Make your changes, depending on the field type.

Field type How to edit Example

Boolean

CDIV Active

integer

enter in a text box

 
CDIV No Reply Timer

complex XML

enter in a resizable text box, with basic XML validation (checks that the XML is well-formed)

Click and drag the lower right corner to resize.

3

Click the Save button at the lower right.

If entered data is validated and saved successfully to the HSS, a green message displays in the panel and REM log.

editing save success

If saving fails, a red message displays in the panel and log. In the following example, the XML is not well-formed (in the CDIV Rules attribute), so REM rejects the user’s input before attempting to reach the HSS.

Remove transparent data for an IMS public identity

To remove data that you’ve loaded in the Editor:

1

Click the Delete button (error ).

The editor prompts you to confirm the deletion.

remove hss data popup

2

Click OK.

The panel becomes blank, and a green message displays in the REM log below.

Required configuration for MMTel

To edit HSS transparent user data so it can use OpenCloud’s out-of-the-box IR.92 features, follow the manual configuration steps below.

Tip The sentinel-volte-mappings-config tool will carry out these steps for you. See Populate XCAP server settings and MMTel service data.

1

Select Sentinel ▶ Feature Configuration ▶ Subscriber Data Lookup from HSS (sip).

2

Once the data’s loaded, select the Provisioning Field Mappings tab.

Warning not the Session State Field Mappings tab!

3

Click the Add Field Group button.

A prompt displays to enter details.

Active flags information

There is special behaviour for each service’s "active" attribute. This is described in the Active attributes portion of the architecture document.

The user interface has three possible values for each services active flag:

  • Unset means that the XML document does not have an active attribute for this service

  • True means that the attribute exists and has the value true,

  • False means that the attribute exists and has the value false
