Subscriber management using a restful interface

摘要

A controller provides authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for a network, the controller comprising a control unit having one or more processors and a Representational State Transfer (REST) interface executed by the control unit to receive application data that specifies an interface method and a resource identifier for a resource, the resource identifier conforming to a subscriber management resource model. The REST interface determines, based on the resource identifier, a record for a subscriber management construct corresponding to the resource. The REST interface applies, to the record, an action corresponding to the interface method to modify access to the network by a subscriber.
