Web Service Selection

Restrictions for PTA-MD

A user cannot connect to multiple services that are simultaneously in different VRFs.

Web Service Selection

Web service selection enables users to concurrently access multiple on-demand services from a list of personalized services. The Cisco 10000 series router supports the Cisco Subscriber Edge Services Manager (SESM) application for web service selection.

The SESM application provides subscriber authentication, service selection, and service connection capabilities to subscribers of Internet services. Subscribers interact with the SESM web application using a standard Internet browser. They do not need to download any software or plug-ins to use the SESM web pages. After a subscriber successfully authenticates, the SESM web application presents a list of services that the subscriber is currently authorized to use. The subscriber can gain access to one or more of those services by selecting them from a web page. Alternatively, an automatic connection feature might provide automatic connection to services.

SESM works in conjunction with other network components to provide extremely robust, highly scalable connection management to Internet services. Internet service providers (ISPs) and network access providers (NAPs) deploy SESM to provide their subscribers with a web interface for accessing multiple Internet services. The ISPs and NAPs can customize and brand the content of the web pages and thereby control the user experience for different categories of subscribers.

SESM Release 3.1(1) or later is a solution composed of a number of applications built on a core set of software components. ISPs and NAPs can use these core components to further develop and customize SESM web applications, if required. The Cisco Subscriber Edge Services Manager Web Developer Guide, Release 3.1(7) describes how to develop SESM applications.

SESM web applications (Release 3.1(1) or later) deployed in Directory Enabled Service Selection/Subscription (DESS) mode incorporate the use of the Cisco Subscriber Policy Engine (SPE) Release 1.0. The SPE allows subscribers to perform account maintenance and self-care activities, such as subscribing to new services, creating subaccounts (for other members of the family, for example), and changing basic account information, such as address, phone number, and e-mail.

For subscribers of Internet services, the SESM web application offers flexibility and convenience, including the ability to access multiple services simultaneously.

For Internet service providers, the SESM web application provides a way to control the subscriber experience and promote customer loyalty. Service providers can change the look and feel of their SESM web application, brand the application, and control the content of the pages displayed to their subscribers.

For more information, refer to the SESM documentation.
