through an emsSession query. Because the session has been cleared by the
GateWay/CORBA service, the OSS user receives an exception and notices the loss
of session.
• The Prime Optical client forcefully logs out the user. The OSS user does not
immediately notice the loss of session when the Prime Optical client forces a
logout. To immediately log out the user, the GateWay/CORBA service makes a
call to the NMS session interface, which forces the OSS client applications to
modify their shutdown application. This is not the preferred method.
• The GateWay/CORBA service clears the user session information from its internal
memory and database.
6.5 Unsupported Events
The Events with INDETERMINATE severity that are reported in the Alarm Log Browser of the
Managed Element in Cisco Prime Optical are not moved to the external OSS clients through the
CORBA Gateway.
The severity of the Performance Monitoring Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCAs) are always set
to INDETERMINATE and are moved to the external OSS Client. For more information, see
6.6 Using Encryption Between the OSS Client and GateWay/CORBA
Prime Optical uses improved encryption of usernames and passwords for network security. You
can set the Control Panel to send encrypted usernames and passwords to GateWay/CORBA:
Step 1
Log into the Prime Optical client with administrator privileges.
Step 2
In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Control Panel.
Step 3
Click the GateWay/CORBA Service tab for the GateWay/CORBA Service property
sheet.
Step 4
Click the Global tab and check the Enable Encryption for Username and Password
check box.
Step 5
Click Save; then, click Yes in the confirmation dialog box. Changes take effect
immediately.
If the OSS clients enable the encryption feature, they must provide implementation for RSA-
based encryption by retrieving the RSA public key or the public key pair from GateWay/CORBA
and by using cryptographic libraries.
