IT and Security Considerations


Framework uses Microsoft Windows Domain. All Framework servers, service user
accounts, and service groups must be members of the Active Directory.
The domain controller can reside on any customer Domain Controller environment.
Desktops that reside on the customer domain must be able to resolve the IP address for
system servers based on their FQDN or host name.
The Domain Controller can also be deployed on a Framework server.
In multiple domains, all server must use the same service account.
Multiple NICs on a Domain Controller can cause Active Directory and DNS problems,
often resulting in authentication issues.

Static IP addressing is required for Avaya Framework .


IPv6 protocol is NOT supported.
IPv6 is enabled by default in Windows 2008 server

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 35

IT and Security Considerations (continued)

Web services are exposed over the WebLogic application server and the Internet
Information Services (IIS) Web server.

All users log on to the system through Web applications. A single point of
authenticationSingle Sign-On (SSO)provides access to all the application
servers in the system, as defined by user privileges.

Web applications run application pages with system management and application
management data.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 41

Data Center Zone Web Services Overview (continued)


The application cluster consists of one or more application servers, depending on
the deployment size. In large deployments with more than one server, the
application servers are deployed behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and
each server exposes the same set of applications and services.

All application servers run the same version of software and have an identical
configuration.

Users access the system from the URL of the NLB. The NLB routes the user to
one of the application servers.

The application cluster consists of one or more application servers, depending on

Data Center Zone Report Services Overview (continued)


The Report Framework supports three types of information flow:
1. Managing report objects
Cognos ReportNet takes a SOAP request, parses it, produces an output SOAP response
about properties of required report object(s), and then passes it back to the Report
Framework. This stream is then passed on to the related report page, and is then served
to the Web client through the BEA Weblogic Server.

2. Viewing report data


Cognos ReportNet takes an HTTP request, parses it, and uses the report output data to
produce a report instance. The report instance is then passed to the browser through the
Report Viewer.

3. Running adhoc reports


The Report Framework starts Cognos ReportNet Query Studio application using single
sign-on.

Framework Installation Overview


The Avaya Framework is composed of
a number of services that can be
installed on a single server or multiple
servers.

Each of these services is defined as a


server role.

Platform
Software only

Server Role 1
Component (MSI)

A server role contains a predefined set


of components. A component is an
installation unit (for example, an MSI).
The component is the smallest software
module of the installation package.

A predefined logical group of server


roles that are installed side-by-side on a
server is defined as a platform. The
platform does not depend on the
hardware.

Server Role 2
Component (MSI)

Server Role n
Component (MSI)

Servers
Installed with a single platform
Two or more physical servers
can have the same installed
platform

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 76

Installation Overview
The following steps are completed for Framework installation:
1. The customer designs, purchases and prepares, the server infrastructure
according to the Avaya Customer Furnished Equipment Guide (xls).
2. The customer prepares the site for installation using the details provided in the
Avaya Release 12.0 Technology, Security, Encryption, and Network
Integration Deployment Reference Guide and fill in the Site Preparation
Checklist (SPC).
3. The installer is provided with the design document, the latest software, license and
verifies site readiness for installation.
4. Prepare and connect the servers to the customer network
5. Prepare the domain controller:
Join the servers to a domain controller (customer or isolated domain)
Verify user accounts for installation, application, and maintenance

6. The installer validates the server prequisite using the Server Readiness
Validator.
7. Install Avaya WFO Framework via the Server Readiness Tool using the
instructions provided in the Avaya Aura WFO Release 12.0 System Installation
and Upgrade Guide and details specified in the project design document.
8. Install any available software enhancements.
9. Activate Framework licenses and configure server roles. 2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 77

Framework Network
The Framework server is installed on the local LAN and connects to telephony
systems, for example the CCMS server using standard IP network protocols and
database access methods.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 78

Framework Network(continued)
The system uses Microsoft
Windows network and operating
system services as the basis for
system security. The systems uses
Microsoft Windows Domain and
Forests as the basis for
authentication.

The system servers, service user


accounts, and service groups must
be members of the Active
Directory.

In all cases, the Windows


Networking model for security and
directory services has the core
concept of a Domain. Active
Directory adds the higher-level
Domain Tree and Forest.
2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 79

Joining Server to Domain


Before joining an Avaya Aura WFO server to a domain, ensure the server has the
following:
A connection to the customer network
A valid IP address
A continuous connectivity to the domain controller
A properly configured DNS server

Based on the customer choice of domain type, join all Avaya Aura WFO servers to
either:
Customer domain (to be performed by the customer)
Desktops that reside on the customer domain must be able to resolve the IP address
for system servers based on their full qualified domain name or host name.
Dedicated domain

In multiple domains, all servers must use the same service account .
All servers must be able to resolve and authenticate with service account.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 80

Joining Server to Domain (continued)


To set up a dedicated domain:
1. Install a Domain Controller on a server.
The recommended server is the server that hosts the Framework Applications server role
(depending on the deployment, the server can be installed with either the Consolidated,
Data Center or Application platforms).
If system includes more than one server, install a Domain Controller on each of the
servers and configure a replication between them for redundancy purposes.

2. Join the Avaya Framework servers to the dedicated domain.

3. Establish a one way trust from the dedicated domain to the customer domain.

Note
See Microsoft MSDN site for more details.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 81

Time Synchronization
All server clocks must be fully synchronized between each other and with the
domain of which the server is a member.

All servers must be set up in the same way with regards to automatically adjusting
clocks for daylight saving changes (with this feature either enabled or disabled
across all machines).

If servers reside on different domains (even when in the same forest) and sync
directly with their domains, the domains' clocks must be synced.

The system does not support custom time zones.


The system automatically sync according to Olson Timezone Database to retrieve
daylight saving time shifts.
Servers must be up-to-date with the latest Time zone related hot-fixes released by
Microsoft.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 82

Preparing for Installation


Review Anti-Virus Exclusion List to prevent scanning of files and folders during
installation.

The installation package (3 DVDs) is copied all together to a single location and is
accessible. This means merging the contents of each folder on the DVDs into a
single location.

Management Service Account (IMSA) has all required permissions set.

Note
Ensure that the password for IMSA has NO special characters.

Ensure IIS is installed and has FTP enabled (if required; i.e., Avaya integration).
Also ensure IIS6 compatibility components have been added.

Windows Firewall Service ensure it is stopped/disabled


Disable the Data Execution Prevention setting (Cognos related)
Screen saver disabled
2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 83

Preparing for Installation (continued)


SQL SERVER

Ensure SQL Server has been installed with a domain account with Administration
rights on the server. Failure to do so will result in the Application Service Account
being rejected as invalid even though correct credentials are entered at the time.

Verify SQL has been installed with Windows or Mixed Mode Authentication.
Ensure SQL Server Agent service has been set to Automatic and is running, prior
to running Framework installation.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 84

The following software tools are used to install Framework:

Server Readiness Validation tool system prerequisite validation.


Server Readiness Tool (SR Tool) - system installer.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 86

Server Readiness Validation Tool


Server Readiness Validation tool

Independent customer-facing tool; customer runs on all servers before installation.


Tool to validate the server against the server requirements, and that the server is
ready for the installation:
Hardware specifications
Operating System settings
Third-party software
Network Settings
Partitions

Creates a report to show any trouble spots.


Does not cover all required parameters some manual validations are required:
Disk size and capacity for storage
Database drives
Disk performance

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 87

SR Validation Process
The validation flow process is as follows:
1. The Server Readiness (SR) Validator reads a server's current server installation.
2. The user selects the Server Group (such as Core Data Centers Servers) and
Server Type (such as Application Server).
3. The user inputs the appropriate values to reflect configuration of server.
4. The SR Validator compares the current installation and configuration with the
requirements files for the selected server and displays the results for the server.
5. The results can be exported to an HTML file that includes the server's current
status together with the server requirements.
6. All the servers validation information is maintained on the server you validated.
This information is then used during the servers installation process.
7. FIX what needs FIXING!!

Server Readiness Tool (SR Tool)


Framework is installed using the Server Readiness Tool (SR Tool):
A .NET2 XML-based proprietary Installer designed for installing the Framework platform
on both the local and remote servers.
Enables concurrent installation of remote multiple servers from a local server. This
means you run the Installer and install the relevant platforms on the remote servers over
the network.

The same tool is used for Service Packs and HotFix deployments.
The SR Tool checks software on server and deploys:
All 3rd-party software
WFO applications

Does not include SQL servers (part of pre-requisites).

Installation Guidelines
The Installer enables concurrent installation of remote multiple servers from a local
server. This means, you run the Installer and install the relevant platforms on the
remote servers over the network.

Follow these guidelines:


Avaya recommends running the Installer from a local server that is not part of the
deployment (allocated temporarily for this purpose only). If a temporary local server is not
available, run the Installer from a local server with the least time consuming installation
(for example, the Application server).
Do not install the local server and remote servers simultaneously, because during the
installation process, the server requires a restart.

Install the local server either before or after the remote servers installation.

In deployments that include at least one Application Server, you must install the
Database platforms before installing the Application server. This is due to a dependency
of the Application Platform on the Framework Database server role.
Do not install more than 10 platforms concurrently.

Licensing and Product Activation

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 132

Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Understand Product Licensing.


Access licensing page in Web application.
License Applications.
Activate features and products.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 133

Framework Licensing
Licensing for the Framework is centrally managed, and is designed to allow the
system to monitor license usage, statistics and violations reporting.

These are the outcomes of successful license and product activation:


Enterprise configuration: the installer sets up the customers Enterprise hierarchy and
configure the server roles associated with the products for which the customer purchased
the license.
User management: roles and privileges related to selected products are activated,
depending on the licensing.

User interface: Modules and screens are visible in the suite portal depending on the
products that were activated.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 134

Licensing Details
License is used to limit usage of the system.
Applications/features limits the applications available from the suite.
Number of entities limits the number of entities supported by the licensed application.

Licensing information is encapsulated in an XML file that contains the following


encrypted information:
Licensee name.
License Reference Number.
One or more licensed items (application or feature).
Each licensed item contains an expiration date and attributes such as Employee, Seat, or
Units.

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 136

Licensing Workflow
1. New (unsigned) license creation during Fulfillment:
The licensing process begins with an initial unsigned license file that is generated after a
customer order is placed. The license is then stored with a unique license reference
number.

2. Enterprise Suite Installation:


The customers Enterprise solution is installed.

3. License registration key generation:


During installation of the customers Enterprise solution, a license registration key is
generated.

4. License activation:
Upon completion of installation, the installer activates the license using the license Web
application. Both the unique license reference number and registration key are required
for the activation. This creates an active (signed) license file.

5. Product activation:
To activate products, the installer logs on to the Avaya Aura portal and, in the License
administration screen, uploads the newly activated license document and restarts the
server.
2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 137

Licensing
Before applications can be configured a license file must be installed within

Enterprise Security
Security is broken down into two areas Authentication and Authorization:

Authentication The process of verifying account credentials. For example,


validating user name and password.

Authorization The process of protecting or limiting access to available


resources

Application Authentication Integration


Framework uses Web-based communication between desktops and servers.
When accessing the platform's Web-based applications, the system authenticates
the application users that are defined in the system according to the desired
authentication method.

Once authenticated, the application authorizes the user according to their specific
rights and permissions, as defined in the system.

Framework supports the following types of authentication methods:


Windows Authentication (Active Directory) SSO

System Authentication (DB Realm)

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 228

Application Authentication Integration (continued)


Framework supports the following types of
application authentication methods:
System Authentication (DB Realm):
This is the default authentication method
installed with the system. Authenticates
the user with a username and password
that is maintained within the system
database.
Windows LDAP Authentication (Active
Directory): Supports Microsoft's Windows
integrated authentication mechanisms.
This authentication method uses the
security features of Windows clients and
servers, and uses the existing Windows
accounts to authenticate users (taken from
the Domain Controllers Active Directory).
Windows Authentication with SSO:
Describes the SSO user accounts and
their requirements that need to be defined
for Windows Authentication with Singlesign On (SSO).

System Authentication (DB Realm)


The System Authentication (DB Realm) or internal authentication method
authenticates the user with a username and password that is maintained solely
within the system (in the database).

An administration account, used by services for application administration, needs


to be created for DB Realm user authentication in the User Management
application.

System Authentication (DB Realm) affects user creation, rights, and the following
password policies:
Password Policy: Administrators can set a password policy, including a minimum and
maximum length of passwords, in addition to the Password Maximum Age (days), to
enforce users to change passwords on a defined, frequent basis.
Account Locking Policy: Administrators can define settings for locking user accounts
after authentication fails, including a Lockout Threshold, which is the number of times a
password can fail before the users account is locked, and a Lockout Duration (minutes),
which is the amount of time the users account stays locked. Administrators can also
define the number of days an inactive users account stays lockedLockout Inactive
User Period (days).

Windows LDAP Authentication (Active Directory)


Using the Windows LDAP Authentication (Active Directory) method, the
customer domain users can be authenticated without having to re-define them in
the system

forest.
To use Windows authentication, two service user accounts must be defined in one
or more application user forests.

The two application users allow integration between the Active Directory, the
Active Directory forest, and the WebLogic Application Server.

The system fully supports Microsofts Group Policy, which provides the centralized
management and configuration of operating systems, applications, user rights and
settings in an Active Directory environment. Therefore, user control in the system
(access, password policies, etc.) is controlled by Group Policy.

End user User Principal Name (UPN) based naming is supported in the Active
Directory. UPN is the name of a system user in an e-mail address format. The user
name is followed by the "at sign" followed by the name of the FQDN (Fully
Qualified Domain Name) with which the user is associated.

For example, username@domain.

Windows Authentication with SSO


The WebLogic Application Server enables the Windows Single Sign-On (SSO)
procedure.

Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication provides application access in the system,


as defined by user privileges. When Windows authentication is defined, the Single
Sign-On (SSO) mechanism is used to allow all users to access and log in to the
system from one centralized, secure, single access point.

SSO allows users to log in to the system with Windows-based login credentials,
and then gain access to all applications without having to be re-authenticated.

This is because the browser carries tokens to the WebLogic server to authenticate
them automatically.

Users who are currently not logged in and attempt to access the systems
applications are redirected to the login page.

Windows Authentication with SSO (continued)


To set up the Windows authentication user accounts with SSO, complete all of the
following:
1. Set up Base System Management Accounts
2. Set up Windows Authentication User Accounts
3. Set up Windows Authentication with SSO

Authorization
Authorization The process of protecting or
limiting access to available resources.

Authorization is based on Role

Authorization
Access
Resource

Based Access Control (RBAC).

There are two key features


supported by RBAC :
Associating privileges with licenses
enables the suite to easily determine
which resources to expose to the user.
Roles and Scopes security domain
or resource type that has associated
information that needs to be secured.
Allows roles (group of privileges) to be
applied to a user.

A good analogy of scope is file folders where


View File privilege can be applied to some
folders but not all.

Scopes can be hierarchical as well as a flat list.

Authorization Concepts
License Controls the resources, such as applications or features, that are
exposed to a customer.

Privilege The most atomic or granular entity of security. It is used to control


specific user actions such as viewing or updating data.

Secure Field An employee property that might be confidential or requires


protection, such as Wage or SSN.

Role Grouping of privileges and secure fields to facilitate assignment to user.


Scope Security Domain or Resource Type that has associated information that
needs to be secured.

Access Right Represents security assignments to users. It consists of a Role


being applied to a Scope and assigned to a User.

User Represents a person who can access the system.

General System Security Settings


Password Policy
Password Policy can be activated only if you have a modifiable realm, such as
DBRealm.

Account Locking Policy


Locking Policy can automate user Account Status to locked.
If the setting is turned off here, a user account can still be locked from the User
Management screen.

User Security Overview for Enterprise Management

Role based security model


Predefined and user defined role
High level of granularity on what can be secured
Only licensed and activated feature sections are visible
Users are assigned a role and scope on the install tree
Gives full control on who performs what operations and on what servers or roles

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 237

User Management Overview


User Management is the tool used to configure, assign, and manage:

Organization structure/hierarchy
Role management
Employee Management
User rights
User visibility

Unified User Management


Role-scope-based privileges (assigning users role/s to the relevant nodes in the
hierarchy tree)

Centralized and Consistent throughout the suite


One place to manage hierarchies and users
User management changes are propagated within minutes
One tree management (when possible) for all suite applications based on Org tree

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 240

Role, Scope, and Role-Scope Approach


Manage rights and right assignment via roles

A role holds the set of permissions what can one do


Example Scheduler Role:
Build forecasts
Create, modify schedules
Publish schedules

Canned roles with ability to add/modify roles

2013 Avaya, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 241

Role, Scope, and Role-Scope Approach


Scope is the where can I do that or visibility of organization or campaign.
Entities (KPI, etc.) are scoped to Organization.
Additional scoping can be done for Campaigns to allow additional flexibility
(outside the boundaries of organization).

Role-scope combination provides a visibility for what one can do. It is basically the
what I can do and where I can do that.
