Secure XML API

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is used by the subscriber management module for user
administration. The XML interface allows the NSE to accept and process XML commands
from an external source. XML commands are sent over the network to your NSE-powered
product which executes the commands, and returns data to the system that initiated the
command request. XML enables solution providers to customize and enhance their product
installations.
This feature allows the operator to use Nomadix' popular XML API using the built-in SSL
certificate functionality in the NSE so that parameters passed between the Gateway and the
centralized Web server are secured via SSL.
If you plan to implement XML for external billing, please contact technical
support for the XML specification of your product. Refer to

Session Rate Limiting (SRL)

Session Rate Limiting (SRL) significantly reduces the risk of "Denial of Service" attacks by
allowing administrators to limit the number sessions any one user can take over a given time
period and, if necessary, then block malicious users.

Session Termination Redirect

Once connected to the public access network, the NSE will automatically redirect the customer
to a Web site for local or personalized services if the customer logs out or the customer's
account expires while online and the goodbye page is enabled. In addition, the NSE also
provides pre- and post-authentication redirects as well as one at session termination.

Smart Client Support

The NSE supports authentication mechanisms used by Smart Clients by companies such as
Adjungo Networks, Boingo Wireless, GRIC and iPass.
