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.

editing a users data

2

Make your changes, depending on the field type.

Field type How to edit Example

Boolean

select from a list

 
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.

CDIV Rules

enumeration

select one of N values

 
OIR Default Behaviour

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.

editing save failure

Add companion devices in transparent data for an IMS public identity

Companion devices can be added or edited in the step 2 listed above. Here is an example for adding a companion device that can use PS radio (VoLTE/VoWifi) and CS radio at the given MSISDN.

Field Example

CD Active

true

CD Devices

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<devices xmlns="http://metaswitch.com/XMLSchema/tas">
    <device>
        <model>Acme Watch</model>
        <radio-access>
            <PS/>
            <CS msisdn="641234568"/>
        </radio-access>
    </device>
</devices>

CD Hide

true

CD Operator Additional Attributes

null

CD Operator Authorized

true

CD SharedSipUri

sip:+641234567@example.com

CD SharedTelUri

tel:+641234567

CD User Additional Attributes

null
Note

  • It is recommended that both SharedSipUri and SharedTelUri are provisioned to a subscriber, in order to be used for properly determining the undisclosed identity. Those values are used in DetermineSharedAndUndisclosedIdentities and Hide Undisclosed Identity features.

  • The XML for CD Devices needs to match the schema shown in DeviceType, otherwise the data won’t be able to be provisioned properly in 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

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
