Managing Subscriber Accounts with the Administrator Portal

We provide a sample administrator portal for the Quota VTA that manages VTA subscriber accounts. You can use this portal to demonstrate and test the VTA. In a production environment, you must integrate your customer interface with these portals. For more information, contact Juniper Networks Professional Services.

The sample portal is designed to be used with the Quota configuration example in the sample data. As a result, the portals expect the Periodic and Bought accounts.

Accessing the Administrator Portal

To access the sample administrator portal:

1. Enter the following URL in your Web browser.

http://<host>:<port>/quotaCustCare/admin.jsp

• <host>—IP address or name of the host on which you installed the VTA
• <port>—HTTP port for the J2EE application server.

2. When prompted, enter the username and password configured for the J2EE application server (see Accessing the J2EE Application Server's Client Libraries).
   

   NOTE: If you are using JBoss and ran the configuration script, the script creates the username admin and the password secret for demonstration purposes.

   
   

The administrator portal appears.

Viewing Subscriber Accounts

To view a subscriber account:

1. On the administrator portal, click Manage a Customer.
2. In the Customer login ID box, enter the subscriber's login ID.

Replenishing Periodic Accounts

A periodic account is an account into which volume is periodically added to the subscriber's account. The periodic quota is tracked in the periodic account.

4. (Optional) In the Optional description box, enter a summary of your action, which will appear in the subscriber accounts.
5. Click Top-up.

Deleting Information from the VTA's Database

To delete information about subscriber accounts, account transactions, and session histories:

1. On the administrator portal, scroll to the Purge Database area.
2. In the Purge date box, enter the date before which all data should be deleted from the database.
3. Click Purge.

Testing the VTA Configuration

To test the VTA configuration:

1. On the administrator portal, scroll to the Test VTA Configuration area.
2. Click Test to generate a simulated event for testing.

The VTA Configuration Tester page appears.

3. Enter the subscriber ID and event type. The corresponding Web page for the specified event type appears.
4. Enter the event attributes to test, click Send to process the event in the Quota VTA, and print the results into VTA log files. You can also load an event from a file by selecting the file with Browse and clicking Load.
5. (Optional) Save the event created in the VTA Configuration Tester to a file by clicking Save.
