Vitalqip Registration Manager Module; Vitalqip Workflow Manager Module - Alcatel-Lucent VitalQIP 7.2 Product Description

VitalQIP Product Description
The Operating Views are pieces of the pie, or smaller chunks of the network's servers and services that
you expect to be managed together. The Operating Views cannot be set up until the Director View is set
up. The pie cannot be cut unless it has been made. Operating Views can overlap. In other words, you can
have servers and services belonging to more than one Operating View. Users are set up after the Views
are defined. More than one User can have management privileges over the same view.

4.2 VitalQIP Registration Manager Module

Registration Manager provides the ability to deny or limit network access by using the DHCP protocol for
IP address assignment. Unregistered DHCP users are given limited access to a user registration web site.
Once authenticated and registered, the users are granted access to the network based on their defined
access level within Registration Manager. Registration Manager can be used by organizations, such as
college campuses, to automatically register a student's personal computer within Registration Manager
and control access to the campus network. In a corporate setting, Registration Manager can help to
provide access to the corporate network for registered users while denying access to unauthorized DHCP
users. Service packages are defined within Registration Manager for each User Class or access level to be
serviced by the system. Service packages define the level of service the associated user receives.
Registration Manager can also limit the number of DHCP-enabled systems that any user may have active
on the network. The host name of the system that is registered dynamically in DNS can also be
controlled through Registration Manager.
Registration Manager works in conjunction with the Lucent DHCP Service. VitalQIP configures and
manages the Lucent DHCP Service. By using VitalQIP and Registration Manager, DHCP option values
may also be defined based on the service packages defined within Registration Manager. Registration
Manager issues addresses to DHCP users from any network location and denies access to unauthorized
users. Registration Manager enables an association between the user, the hardware address of their
system (MAC address), and the assigned IP address. By associating the MAC address to the user and not
only to the machine, the Registration Manager benefits a mobile user. Once the mobile user is registered,
the user can use their device anywhere on the network where they are authorized, without re-registering.
This provides a seamless approach to gaining the benefits of DHCP. The user profiles (referred to as
Subscriber Profiles), MAC addresses, and IP address associations are stored within the Registration
Manager directory server. Registration Manager also works with Audit Manager, to record a user-to-IP
address assignment from a historical auditing perspective.
Registration Manager has three major components:
•
Registration Manager web server
•
Registration Manager remote server
•
Registration Manager client
Each component is comprised of sub-components that usually include services, an interface, or web
server.
