Avaya Aura System Manager enrollment overview

Last Updated : Apr 11, 2022 |

Some Avaya solutions which adopt Avaya Aura® MS use Avaya Aura® System Manager to provide an integrated point of management. This chapter shows you how to use Avaya Aura® MS Element Manager (EM) to enroll media servers in System Manager.

Note:

See adopting product documentation to determine if System Manager enrollment applies to your installation.

Important:

The media servers and System Manager must use the same NTP server for time synchronization. The system time difference between the System Manager and the media servers must not exceed 10 minutes.

You must perform the following procedures so that applications can access Avaya Aura® MS:
  1. Pre-Enrollment steps on the System Manager.

  2. Enrollment with System Manager from the Avaya Aura® MS.

  3. Location and Application assignment on the System Manager.

  4. Pre-Discovery steps on the System Manager.

See System Manager and adopting product documentation for detailed procedures.

Media server enrollment in System Manager assigns a System Manager-signed certificate to the media server OAM and EM service profiles. The enrollment process also assigns System Manager as the media server authentication and authorization source. These assignments enable Avaya Aura® MS to use single sign-on (SSO) and role-based access control (RBAC) services which are managed by System Manager. After enrollment administrators access the media server EM using System Manager administrative accounts which have permission to use EM.

When a media server is dis-enrolled from System Manager, the system assigns the authentication and authorization source to Avaya Aura® MS based authentication.

When you enroll a media server in System Manager, the system restarts the SOAP and EM services to apply the changes. When you dis-enroll a media server from System Manager, the system restarts the EM service to apply the changes. Users must close their current EM browser window or tab and can sign in again after the EM restart completes.
