The CORBA gateway authenticates the OSS against a previously created user profile before
allowing access to Prime Optical. You can create OSS client profiles for GateWay/CORBA
sessions. Each OSS profile defines GateWay/CORBA parameters, such as the OSS profile name,
password, and IP address.

OSS client profiles are stored in the GateWay/CORBA Users table.

Step 1

Log into the Cisco Prime Optical client with administrator privileges.

Step 2

In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > GW/CORBA Users.

Step 3

Choose Edit > Add (or click the Create a New User tool).

Step 4

In the Add GW/CORBA User window, enter the following OSS client information:



OSS Profile Name—Name of the OSS profile.



Password—Password that the OSS client uses to log into the Prime Optical
server. The password must contain at least one special character, at least two
alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z), and at least one numeric character (0-9).
Apostrophes (‘) are not accepted.



Confirm Password—Re-enter the password to confirm it.

Step 5

Click OK to confirm the information. Changes take effect immediately. The
GW/CORBA Users table receives a refresh event. If automatic refresh is enabled,
the new OSS client profile appears as a new row in the table. If automatic refresh is
disabled, click the Refresh Data tool to see the new OSS client profile in the table.
