IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2

Configuring the SMPP messaging connector settings

Use the IMS Configuration Utility to edit the basic and advanced settings for SMPP messaging connector. The basic settings include the message connector name, address attribute name, SMPP server IP address, SMPP port number, sender address, SMPP system ID, and SMPP system password. The advanced settings include the enterprise directory address attribute details.

Procedure

Log on to the IMS Configuration Utility.
Navigate to Advanced Settings > Message connectors.
In Add configuration group, select SMPP Messaging Connector from the drop-down list.
Click Configure.

Under Basic configuration keys, complete the following fields:

Option	Description
Message Connector Name	Enter the display name of the Web-based SMS connector.
Address Attribute Name	Enter a name for the address attribute. This attribute is used as the target address for sending messages. For example, for an SMS message connector, the attribute is `gsmNumber`, which specifies the phone number of the user.
SMPP server IP address	Enter the IP address of the SMPP server. Note: IBM® Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On 8.2 supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
SMPP port number	Specify the TCP/IP port on the SMPP server connecting to the gateway.
Sender address	Specify the default sender address to apply to outbound messages.
SMPP system ID	Specify the user name for the gateway to use when connecting to the SMPP server.
SMPP system password	Specify the password for the gateway to use when connecting to the SMPP server.
Keep-alive timeout, in milliseconds	Specify how long a network connection waits for a new request before closing.
Bind timeout, in milliseconds	Specify the maximum number of seconds that a client spends attempting to bind to the domain.

Under Advanced configuration keys, complete the following fields:

Option	Description
Fetch the address attribute from Enterprise Directory	Specify whether the address attribute used by this messaging connector is fetched from the Enterprise Directory. If set to false, the address attribute (specified by Address Attribute Name) is fetched from the IMS Server database. If set to true, performance degraded as each MAC issuance calls the Enterprise Directory. To support fetching of multi-valued attributes (for example, memberOf), use the ADSI connector to configure the Enterprise Directory.
Enterprise directory address attribute	Specify the name of the attribute to look up from the Enterprise Directory (AD or LDAP server). Set this field only if Fetch the address attribute from Enterprise Directory is set to True. If this attribute specifies a phone number, it is in the format "CountryCode-AreaCode-PhoneNumber". Use the format "CountryCode-AreaCode-PhoneNumber". For example: `1-650-4136800` and `65--64735110`.
