The what’s new archive can be found here.

2. Configuration

Only users with the role Admin, such as the default user sp-admin are allowed to configure the Sponsoring Portal.

2.1. Certificates

All certificates are handled by the external Java trust store. Therefore you must import any SSL certificate that is in place in your environment like MPP, Macman or external User Directory.

2.1.1. How to import a certificate into the Java trust store

In order to verify a remote peer the Sponsoring Portal has to be able to verify the remote host’s certificate. Either you have the certificate already or you have to fetch it from the server.

Fetch certificate from remote host

remote_host=ldap.exmaple.com
remote_port=636
keytool -printcert -sslserver ${remote_host}:${remote_port} -rfc > ${remote_host}.crt

Import certificate

remote_host=ldap.exmaple.com
keytool -import -file ${remote_host}.crt -alias ${remote_host} -keystore /usr/lib/sponsoring-portal/truststore.p12

The password of the trust store must be password

The Sponsoring Portal reads the truststore during startup. After the custom trust store has been modified, do not forget to restart the Sponsoring Portal systemctl restart sponsoring-portal.

2.2. Organizational Unit

An organizational unit (shortened to org unit) is defined with a name and an optional comment. Multiple organizational units can be structured as parent-child relations.

2.2.1. Configure Organizational Unit

The behavior of an org unit (and its children) is configured through its Permissions & Settings view.

Permissions & Settings

New permissions & settings of an org unit are applied to a particular Group. Such a group must be configured beforehand. The Org Unit - Group relation owns the permissions & settings.

Permissions & settings are applied to these general types of entities:

Guest User (MPP user)
MPP Device
MPP Voucher
Macman User
Macman Device

Permissions are read, create, edit and delete, while settings are entity type specific. Both permissons & settings are inherited within org units.

Any configuration issue is shown either as an error or as a warning. Errors indicate a configuration issue which must be corrected by the administrator of the Sponsoring Portal.

The optional field Delete After relates to an Input Template field. If it is defined here, make sure is is visible or enabled on the input template, and vice versa.

Guest User

Guest user specific settings are applied here.

User groups are retrieved from MPP MPP Configuration. These settings need to be configured, and are used to create a guest user.

MPP Device

MPP device specific settings are applied here.

User groups are retrieved from MPP MPP Configuration. These settings need to be configured, and are used to create a MPP device.

MPP Voucher

MPP voucher specific settings are applied here.

Voucher groups are retrieved from MPP MPP Configuration. These settings need to be configured, and are used to create a MPP voucher.

Macman User

Macman user specific settings are applied here.

Device groups are retrieved from Macman through Macman Configuration. These settings need to be configured, and are used to create a Macman user.

Macman Device

Macman device specific settings are applied here.

Device type, device groups and organizational units are retrieved from Macman through Macman Configuration. These settings need to be configured, and are used to create a Macman device.

2.3. Group

A group is a container. It is used for Organizational Unit - Group relation, and to limit My Device approval.

Any synchronized user of a User Directory can be assigned to a group. This helps to easily identify remote users on the Sponsoring Portal.

A group that is used by the onway director for reporting permissions can’t be deleted.

2.3.1. Configure Group

A group has a unique name, an optional comment, and a max. my devices field. It specifies how much devices a user can approve.

2.4. User Account

User accounts are either created locally, or synchronized from a user directory.

If a user account belongs to the Local Directory, it can be assigned to zero, one or more Groups.

If a user account is synchronized from a LDAP Directory, the user is assigned to a standard group. The standard group is configured in the User Directory general administration.

2.5. User Directory

Two types of user directories can be configured:

Local Database
LDAP Directory

You can manage the users locally on the Sponsoring Portal or connect it to several LDAP directories including Microsoft’s Active Directory. The user chooses the directory on the login page.

2.5.1. LDAP Directory

Four sections of a LDAP directory can be configured:

General
Connection
User account LDAP attributes
Group LDAP attributes

General

A remote user is assigned to a local Standard Group, if it is synchronized. A standard group is like any other Group, with this exception: a synchronized User Account can not unmap itself from the standard group. The LDAP directory is the authority of this user account, and the standard group defines the mapping to the Sponsoring Portal.

A standard group can be remapped to another group, nevertheless.

To remove all users from a directory on the Sponsoring Portal, the standard group can be set to (None).

Connection

This section defines basic connection settings and some synchronization related configuration options.

The LDAP time limit in seconds defines how long one request can go. Synchronization of a large directory uses multiple requests.

The LDAP count limit of 0 means that all entries are synchronized. This should be the default. For a general connection test run, the value can be set to i.e. 10, to limit the amount of transferred entries.

The LDAP sync intervall in minutes defines how often the whole(!) data is transferred from the directory to the Sponsoring Portal for synchronization.

The LDAP page size specifies the batch size of one result, which is transferred from the directory to the Sponsoring Portal.

Active Directory Attribute Mapping

Table 1. User account LDAP attributes
Field	Attribute
User account ID attribute	`objectSid`
Display name attribute	`displayName`
First name attribute	`givenName`
Last name attribute	`name`
Username attribute	`sAMAccountName` or `userPrincipalName`
User group attribute	`memberOf`
Email attribute	`mail`
Phone number attribute	`telephoneNumber`
User object class	`person`

Table 2. Group LDAP attributes
Field	Attribute
Unique group id attribute	`objectGUID`
Display name attribute	`name`
Group description attribute	`description`
Group member attribute	`member`
Group member of attribute	`memberOf`
Group object class	`group`

Synchronization

Sponsoring Portal synchronization goes one way, from remote to local. The remote directory is the authority of the data, and the Sponsoring Portal consumes the data.

LDAP directory synchronization is done on configuration Save, is triggered automatically, or can be activated by pressing the Synchronize button.

Directory Service Groups

All available Directory Service Groups are shown here. It is possible to assign a directory service group to one or more local Groups.

A remote group is assigned to a Local Group, if it is synchronized. All users within the remote group are assigned to this local group. Like with the standard group, a synchronized User Account can not unmap itself from such a group. The LDAP directory is the authority, and the local group defines the mapping to the Sponsoring Portal.

Local groups are optional. If none is chosen, just the standard group is used.

2.6. MPP Configuration

The MPP configuration is required to connect the Sponsoring Portal with the MPP.

2.6.1. Connection

Configure the MPP host and port and preferably use HTTPS, if configured. Set credentials, i.e. mpp-admin with the corresponding password.

The connection timeout defines how long the Sponsoring Portal tries to establish a connection to the MPP. The sync interval specifies the interval in which the Sponsoring Portal fetches data from the MPP.

2.6.2. Guest User Template Settings

The Sponsoring Portal lets you display or download the data of a created Guest User.

The template settings define how the data shall be rendered. The data is shown as PDF or plain TXT. Please see the supported fields information box for all available fields.

The file download time limit defines after how many minutes the template data shall be deleted. It must be deleted as it contains sensitive information.

2.6.3. MPP Voucher Template Settings

The Sponsoring Portal lets you display or download the data of a created MPP Voucher.

The template settings define how the data shall be rendered. The data is shown as PDF or plain TXT. Please see the supported fields information box for all available fields.

2.7. Macman Configuration

The Macman configuration is required to connect the Sponsoring Portal with the Macman.

2.7.1. Connection

Configure the Macman host and port and preferably use HTTPS, if configured. Set credentials, i.e. BYOD with the corresponding password.

The connection timeout defines how long the Sponsoring Portal tries to establish a connection to the Macman. The sync interval specifies the interval in which the Sponsoring Portal fetches data from the Macman.

2.7.2. Macman User Template Settings

The Sponsoring Portal lets you display or download the data of a created Macman User.

The template settings define how the data shall be rendered. The data is shown as PDF or plain TXT. Please see the supported fields information box for all available fields.

The file download time limit defines after how many minutes the template shall be deleted. It must be deleted as it contains sensitive information.

2.8. My Device Configuration

2.9. Custom Fields

Custom fields can be defined to enhance Input Templates with additional input fields.

A custom field consists of a unique name and has a type. Based on the type, additional fields such as values or regular expression can be defined.

The following types are available:

List: defines a list with values; a value can be selected
Text: any text is possible, supports a regular expression to validate the text
Yes/No: offers a simple yes-or-no checkbox

An ID is assigned to a custom field, if it is added to the Sponsoring Portal. The ID can be used to identify a custom field from the MPP configuration, for TXT or PDF export.

2.10. Input Template

An input template can be defined to configure which fields are visible on an input form. In addition, static or generated values can be assigned to an input field of a template. The purpose is to simplify and automate user input. The user requires less time to fill out the form. Some input templates can be enhanced with Custom Fields or support a factory.

Input templates exist for the following forms:

New Guest User (supports custom fields)
New MPP Device (supports custom fields)
New MPP Voucher (supports factory)
New Macman User (supports custom fields)
New Macman Device (supports custom fields)

2.10.1. Configure Input Template

An input template has a unique name, an optional comment, and a priority. It is referenced from the Permissions & Settings of an Organizational Unit.

The input template with the highest permission is presented to a Guest User, if he is member of multiple groups.

A collection of field settings define how the input template looks and behaves. Each field is defined with a field name, if it is visible, if a value provider is enabled, and with a default value.

Table 3. Field settings combinations
Visible	Enabled	Value	Result
True	True	A value must be configured	Field is visible and has read-only value
True	False	Value is ignored	Field is visible and uses user-input
False	True	A value must be configured	Field is invisible and has value
False	False	No value	This combination is not allowed for mandatory fields!

Two types of value providers do exist:

Static value. A default value is defined in the input template and is applied to the form; example: Valid For 1440 minutes, Enabled: true
Generated value. A value generator produces a value for the form; example: Valid From First Login, Voucher Code: 5313

Some value providers, such as the username-, password- or vouchercode-provider require additional configuration.

The MPP Device field MAC Addresses can’t be modified. It is shown for completeness.

The field Delete After (not available in MPP Voucher) needs to be visible or enabled if it is configured within Permissions & Settings. Adding this field to an input template without setting the permissions & settings doesn’t have any effect.

Custom Fields

Some input templates can be extended with Custom Fields. A custom field of an input template supports the same configuration options. An additional optional field can be configured. It specifies if the field requires an input value or not.

Factory

The MPP voucher input template can be configured to create multiple vouchers instead of just one. An optional field Count must be configured to do so. It behaves like any other input template field and supports the visible and enable flags. The code field must be enabled and configured, as each MPP voucher code must be unique.

The factory input template can be added to any Organizational Unit.

2.11. FTP Servers

The Sponsoring Portal uses one or multiple FTP servers to download CSV files for import tasks.

2.12. Import Tasks

Import tasks are used to automatically download files from an FTP server and create or update entities via CSV Import. They can be created for Guest Users, MPP Devices, Macman Users and Macman Devices using the CSV dropdown button on the Organizational Unit view.

Existing import tasks can be managed in the Administration / Import Tasks view.

The Import task history view shows the status of the executions of a task. The number of task executions that are stored can be configured.

2.12.1. Configuration

An import task runs with the permissions and settings of the user that last edited it. If you want to use a specific input template you can create a new user and change the settings accordingly.

An import task is configured in the following 4 steps:

Step 1: General Settings

Source

The FTP server used to download files. At least one server must be configured in order to create an import task.

Import Strategy

Full: Creates or updates all entities that are in the downloaded file and deletes all existing entities that are not.
Cumulative: Creates or updates all entities that are in the downloaded file. No entities are deleted.

Step 2: Information Settings

Email Notification

E-mail notifications can be sent after a task execution. The SMTP server settings must be defined in the application.properties file.

One of the following notification types can be used:

Always: A notification is sent after each task execution.
Failure: A notification is sent after a failed task execution.
Success: A notification is sent after a successful task execution.
Never: No notifications are sent.

Step 3: File Settings

File Retention Policy

None: No action is performed.
Delete File: The downloaded file will be deleted from the FTP server after a successful task execution.

File Pattern

The file pattern is a regular expression that defines which file should be downloaded.

If no pattern is defined, or if multiple files match the pattern, the newest file (ordered by last modified) will be used.

File Selection

In order to reach the next step, a CSV file is required. Use the load button to get a list of all files that match the current settings. The file highlighted in green will be used for the field mapping in step 4.

Step 4: Field Mapping

The CSV field mapping is configured in the same way as for a manual CSV import. Please refer to Section 3.7.1.1, “CSV Field Mapping” for more information.

3. Administration

3.1. Guest User

Manage user accounts on the MPP, in order to grant network access to guests.

A guest user is related to an Organizational Unit. Given the user has the required Permissions & Settings, three options to manage guest users are provided here.

To fill out the input form
To use the CSV Import / Export tool
To use the Import Task tool

The first option is interactive and can add / delete one device, while the second option offers bulk actions.

3.2. MPP Device

Manage user devices on the MPP, in order to grant headless or special devices network access.

A MPP device is related to an Organizational Unit. Given the user has the required Permissions & Settings, three options to manage MPP devices are provided here.

To fill out the input form
To use the CSV Import / Export tool
To use the Import Task tool

The first option is interactive and can add / delete one device, while the second option offers bulk actions.

3.3. MPP Voucher

Manage vouchers on the MPP, in order to grant network access to guests, by using voucher codes. The voucher code must be unique.

A MPP voucher is related to an Organizational Unit. Given the user has the required Permissions & Settings, two options to manage MPP vouchers are provided here.

To fill out the input form
To create multiple vouchers with a factory

3.3.1. MPP Voucher Factory

To generate multiple vouchers at once, the administrator must configure an MPP Voucher Input Template. An additional field Count defines the number of vouchers to be created. The generated vouchers can be downloaded as a CSV file afterwards.

If you import the CSV file in a spreadsheet application, please define the code column type as Text (not as type Standard), if your code can contain 0, to prevent that 0123 is transformed to 123.

3.4. Macman User

Manage user accounts on the Macman, in order to grant network access with WPA2 encryption into a dedicated network (VLAN, …).

A Macman user is related to an Organizational Unit. Given the user has the required Permissions & Settings, three options to manage Macman users are provided here.

To fill out the input form
To use the CSV Import / Export tool
To use the Import Task tool

The first option is interactive and can add / delete one device, while the second option offers bulk actions.

3.5. Macman Device

Manage user accounts on the Macman, in order to grant network access with Layer 2 filtering.

A Macman device is related to an Organizational Unit and to a Macman Device Type setting. The device type defines which MAC addresses of a device are available. Given the user has the required Permissions & Settings, three options to manage Macman devices are provided here.

To fill out the input form
To use the CSV Import / Export tool
To use the Import Task tool

The first option is interactive and can add / delete one device, while the second option offers bulk actions.

3.6. My Device

Connect personal devices to the corporate network by using WPA2 encryption, in order to use this device at work.

3.7. CSV Import / Export

The tool can add or delete a number of entities (Guest Users, MPP Devices, Macman Users or Macman Devices) to the Sponsoring Portal at once. The input data is a comma (,) or semicolon (;) separated file, encoded with UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1, also called Latin 1. Former Microsoft Excel versions use this encoding, typically, when exporting to a CSV file.

CSV files can be imported manually, or by an import task. The import task allows to update entities.

3.7.1. Manual Import

Importing a CSV file is done in three steps:

Uploading the file by choosing the file, encoding and separator
Mapping the column fields
Executing the import

Click on the Download sample file link to get a template which contains the required header fields before uploading.

CSV Field Mapping

First of all, it must be defined on which row the import shall start.

Then, each column of the CSV file must be mapped to a field name of the Sponsoring Portal. This is done in the Column-Field Name Mapping table. If a field is provided by an Input Template, it cannot be mapped. The sponsoring portal tries to guess the correct mapping by reading the first line of the file.

The first few lines of the uploaded file are shown in a Preview below, to support the mapping decision.

It is not needed to map all fields to delete entities. An information box shows which fields are required.

For Macman devices, it is not possible to map MAC addresses to particular device slots. MAC addresses are mapped to slots in ascending slot number order.

Import

If the mapping is set, the uploaded file is imported by clicking Add or Delete. Based on the number of lines that are imported, it might take some time. The Sponsoring Portal connects to remote systems such as MPP or Macman, and does several validation checks to assure data integrity over all involved systems.

A success message is shown at the end, if no errors are detected.

Updated entries are just counted for MPP and Macman Devices with multiple MAC addresses. A device is updated if some (not all) MAC addresses were deleted.

Errors

If errors occur, a Summary page with Failed Lines appears. The summary shows deleted, updated and failed entries. Failed lines can be downloaded (as CSV), for correction. The error causes are added in a separate column. The whole import process can start over with the corrected CSV file.

3.7.2. Automatic import

A CSV import can be automated using an import Task. Please refer to Section 2.12, “Import Tasks” for more information.

3.7.3. Export

The entities of an organizational unit can be exported as CSV. The encoding is chosen, while the field separator (typically comma or semicolon) is determined automatically by the underlying locale. A header line is added to show the field names.

4. Installation

4.1. System requirements

Table 4. System requirements
Component	Minimum	Recommended
Processor	Dual core with 2 GHz or faster	Quad core with 2 GHz or faster
RAM	4 GB	8 GB
Storage	60 GB	>= 240 GB

4.2. Product Dependency

The Sponsoring Portal requires at least the following MPP and / or Macman product versions.

Table 5. Product dependency
Sponsoring Portal	MPP Version	Macman Version	Macman Legacy Version	onway controller Version
4.7.0	>= 8.2.0	>= 3.3.0	>= 2.6.11	>= 1.0.0

4.3. Install

To install the Sponsoring Portal, we need either a bare metal server or a virtual machine that meets the requirements as specified above.

Download the latest onway ISO from https://packages.onway.ch/iso/.

After you have started from the disk image a similar GRUB screen will show up:

Figure 1. GRUB boot screen

Select Install Sponsoring-Portal 4.7.0 and press return. As next, the setup wizard pops up. Follow the instructions. Next, to the wizard, the Sponsoring Portal gets installed on the local disk. This may take some minutes. To finish the installation the server reboots once, and a yellow Linux prompt appears.

4.3.1. VMware Tools

If you are running the Sponsoring Portal in a VMware virtual environment, we recommend that you install the open VM tools.

Install Open VM Tools

apt update
apt install open-vm-tools

4.3.2. Configure Reverse Proxy (Nginx)

With the default configuration the reverse proxy uses the self-signed certificates of the base system. In order to use your own certificates you have to put the certificate key into the directory /etc/ssl/private/ and the certificate combined with the intermediate certificate into the directory /etc/ssl/certs/. After that, edit the Nginx configuration file /etc/nginx/sites-available/sponsoring-portal and set the value of the properties ssl_certificate_key and ssl_certificate to match your setup.

To put the certificate with the intermediate within one file you can simply call cat cert.crt intermediate.crt > cert-chain.crt on the CLI.

If the fully qualified domain name of the system does not match the URL pointing to the Sponsoring Portal, you have to modify the server_name property as well.

Check Nginx’s configuration with nginx -t and restart the Linux Daemon if everything is ok by issuing systemctl restart nginx.

4.4. Access the Web Console

If nothing went wrong, you should now be able to access the web console by https://<server_name>/. Use sp-admin as username and password to login as administrator. This user has been created automatically during the package’s installation process.

5. Upgrade

Perform backup before upgrade! It is recommended to backup the database before upgrading. You can do so, by either taking a snapshot of the VM or by performing a pg_dumpall. You can find more information about pg_dumpall on the following page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pg-dumpall.html. If you want to continue without creating a backup, please be aware that you are doing it at your own risk.

6. onway director

The onway director is a business application of the onway provisioning and monitoring platform. It provides a reactive user interface and is configured through the Administration section. The GUI runs on any device such as desktop, tablet or mobile phone.

The onway director GUI follows a customer-centric approach. It is able to manage a single customer or multiple customers. The customer selection is done on the entry page, if more than one customer is configured.

The navigation is supported by a breadcrumb on top. It shows the path to the current page and it is clickable. This helps to navigate back or to get to a higher hierarchy quickly.

Click on the top navigation bar to switch between the onway director and the former Sponsoring Portal, if required.

6.1. User Menu

The user menu is on top right and can always be accessed.

6.1.1. Settings

Settings are configured by clicking on top right. They allow to customize such things as user language and date or number format.

English is used as a fallback language for untranslated content.

You can configure your session timeout for the application. This determines how long you stay logged in.

You can define the CSV separator, if you don’t want to use the default, which is derived from your language.

6.1.2. Change Password

Users of onway director change their password here.

6.1.3. About

Information about software version

6.1.4. Logout

Logout from onway director.

6.2. Administration

Only users with the role Admin, such as the default user sp-admin are allowed to administer the onway director.

The configuration is split into a general and a customer specific part. The general part defines the setup of the whole system, and how it communicates with other components such as MPP, macman or onway controller.

The customer part contains all required settings for a particular customer.

Let’s start with the customer.

6.2.1. Customers

onway director customers must be added manually.

The customer key must match with the MPP for identification, so check twice.

A customer has one or more groups. Groups are managed in the Sponsoring Portal Administration → Groups.

Customer permissions are derived from such groups. Choose as many groups as you need. Upcoming parts of the customer configuration will have access exactly to these groups. A permission is granted to all members of a group.

The following list shows examples of where permissions are required:

Access to a reporting category is not possible without customer permissions
Tags have an assign permission
Network Access Groups have permissions
Device Groups have permissions
My Device has a permission
Other places with permissions…

As you can see, these permissions are a central part of the customer configuration.

A group can’t be deleted in the Sponsoring Portal if it is assigned in the onway director.

The following sections are accessed by clicking on a customer card. A new main navigation on the left side opens for customer specific configuration.

Reporting

Permissions and settings must be configured to be able to access reports or log data such as the SMS registration log.

Permissions

First of all, one or more group(s) must be assigned to a customer. You can choose groups which were defined in customer permissions.

For these (Sponsoring Portal) groups, report categories are enabled or disabled. This means that reports or logs of a customer can either be accessed or not.

Settings

Specific settings such as retention time for data logs can be configured, too. The retention time defines how long data is retained. If the log contains sensitive fields such as MAC addresses or phone numbers, it is anonymized after an anonymization time. Such fields are not available earlier than the anonymization time.

If a customer is deleted, all reporting configuration and data of this customer is deleted, too.

macman

The most important macman settings are defined here.

General Settings

General settings such as retention time of deleted network access accounts and network access account sessions, and other session related settings.

Network Access Groups

A network access group (NA Group) is a container for accounts or devices. Such items must be unique within a NA Group. A NA Group is assigned to a customer and to a VLAN. A customer can have multiple NA Group’s. The following network access groups are available:

PEAP - Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
iPSK - Identity Pre Shared Key
MAB - MAC Authentication Bypass
My Device - Also known as BYOD, "Bring Your Own Device"

All NA Groups except My Device are extended with access permissions. The permissions are defined for a customer group and have the following modes:

Account Read
Account Create
Account Edit
Account Delete

A higher permission includes a lower permission automatically. It is possible to combine network access groups into a network access group view.

All NA Groups can be extended with a custom input template.

Opening a NA Group opens a new main navigation on the left side.

PEAP Network Access Group

A PEAP network access group has a unique name. A realm is optional, as long as a single NA Group is in use. It must define a realm if more than one NA Group is defined, to distinguish user accounts.

iPSK Network Access Group

An iPSK network access group has a unique name and needs a Pairing VLAN in addition to the VLAN.

MAB Network Access Group

A MAB network access group has a unique name.

My Device Network Access Group

A My Device network access group has a unique name and needs a Pairing VLAN in addition to the VLAN. A realm is optional, as long as a single NA Group is in use. It must define a realm if more than one NA Group is defined, to distinguish user accounts.

iPSK QR Codes

A QR code are generated to simplify the pairing of iPSK devices.

An iPSK NA Group for the known devices is required. That’s the group where paired devices will be stored.

Other parameters are required for this configuration such as MPP Route Key, SSID and Tags. A Cron Expression defines when a PSK is replaced by a new PSK. A Transition Duration defines a period (in seconds) between the old and the new PSK. The PSK is not visible in the onway director during this period, to make sure that all processes are ready to process the new PSK.

The route key must match the configured authentication scheme’s route key on the MPP. The SSID must be named like the broadcast SSID. Tags can be assigned to new devices automatically.

The remaining fields define the appearance and behavior of the PSK.

My Device Settings

My Device settings specify how a new user device is handled by the onway director.

As the settings are quite detailed, they are separated into the following sections:

Network Options - defines NA Group, SSID and more
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) Options - AUP files can be uploaded
Permissions - defines who can use My Device
User Options - defines username/password characters and more

onway controller

This is the main section to configure onway controllers.

Device Groups

A device group is a container for onway devices. The permissions are defined for a customer group.

All device groups are extended with access permissions. The permissions are defined for a customer group and have the following modes:

Device Read
Device Create
Device Edit
Device Delete

A higher permission includes a lower permission automatically.

Input Templates

Input templates are used to extend an input sidebar with custom fields. An input template is identified by its unique name and its type.

The administrator can define as many input templates per customer as she needs. An input template extends an input sidebar, such as in network access groups. It allows the administrator to query for custom data.

Custom Fields are language aware. The administrator can but does not have to define the custom field name in english, german, french and italian. At least one language must be provided. onway director will show the field in the user defined language (see settings), or fallback to the language in this order en→de→fr→it.

Type

As of now, three input template types are available:

Text - text field
Yes/No - choose field
List - selection field

Text

A text field to read any character. A regular expression can be defined to validate user input.

Yes/No

A simple option to choose either yes or no.

List

Define a list of items and choose one or some.

6.2.2. System

One important aspect of the onway director is its distributed service infrastructure. See how clients and servers are connected.

The configuration is system-wide and independent of a particular customer.

Remote Client

The onway director uses the Remote Client to connect to one or to multiple MPP’s, macman’s or onway controllers. Remote Clients are applications which are automatically started together with the Sponsoring Portal. Such application are called remote peers.

How do we reach remote peers? For MPP, the communication uses TCP/IP on port 9011; macman uses port 9013; onway controller uses port 9015

The communication between the onway director and the remote peer’s is encrypted and uses X.509 certificates for authentication. Client details are shown in the Administration → System → Remote Client sub-menu.

Connections must be configured on both parties but can be done independently, even if one party is offline. Connections are configured in:

MPP Administration → MPP → Connections
macman Administration → macman → Nodes
onway controller Administration → onway controller → Nodes

Server details are shown in the corresponding sub-menus.

In MPP a connection is called a Remote Peer while in the onway director it is called MPP connection. A connection to a macman or onway controller is called a connection to a Node

Processes

The following picture illustrates how the processes are connected to each other. The remote servers listen to a fixed TCP/IP port.

Remote Server port usage:

MPP - 9011
macman - 9013
onway controller - 9015

Connection State

A connection to a remote peer qualified by a State. It provides three values:

DISCONNECTED - peer is not reachable, or peer did not trust
UNTRUSTED - peer certificate is not trusted by us
CONNECTED - goal state, both parties trusted each other

The state will be shown as DISCONNECTED, if the remote peer did not add the onway director as its remote peer before.

The onway director tries to establish a connection to the remote peer for an infinite period of time. The connection is not established as long as the certificates are not trusted. This state is shown as UNTRUSTED. The Peer ID and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the certificate are shown to identify the other party.

The Peer ID corresponds to the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of the certificate and is equal to the hostname of the system during installation

To establish a secure communication channel, both parties (onway director and remote peer) must trust each other. Trusting is a manual interaction, done by the administrator. A click on the lock button and approval changes the state to DISCONNECTED if done on one party.

It changes to CONNECTED, if both parties trust each other, and after a successful handshake has been done between onway director and the remote peer. This is the required final state for secure communication between the parties.

Disconnect onway director from a peer

If one party wants to revoke an established connection for any reason, a click on the unlock icon with approval is enough. The state changes to UNTRUSTED on the onway director and to DISCONNECTED on the remote peer. Communication between onway director and remote peer is refused. Please note that the onway director keeps trying to establish the connection to the remote peer.

A connection can be deleted if it is not required any more by clicking on the delete button.

Renew a certificate

It is possible to renew the built-in certificate in Administration → System → Remote Client. But be careful. All configured remote peers must trust the new certificate to be able to communicate with the onway director!

Troubleshooting

Peer ID mismatch

As mentioned earlier, the Peer ID must be unique and is bound to the SAN. It is a configuration error if more than one connection to the same server is configured (i.e. by using the IP address and FQDN). Such a connection can never be trusted.

Remove the duplicate connection entry, and make sure to use the correct Peer ID.

Certificates

Certificates can easily be uploaded in the Administration → System → Certificates page. Such certificates will be added to i.e. a macman configuration later.

6.2.3. MPP

See how to connect onway director with MPP.

Connect onway director with MPP

First, add a MPP connection by adding the IP address or FQDN, and the Peer ID of the MPP server. The MPP Peer ID is defined in the MPP in Services → Remote Server → Service. It is the hostname of the MPP. It is unique and can be configured for exactly one MPP connection.

On the MPP, add the remote peer by adding the Source address and Peer ID of the onway director. The onway director Peer ID is defined in the onway director in Administration → System → Remote Client. It is the hostname of the onway director.

Trust the connection and check the connection state.

Disconnect onway director from MPP

See disconnect peer.

MPP data stream services

Reports are created with log data which is streamed from MPP over a remote client connection.

Enable the following settings to stream data from the MPP to the onway director. Please note that the MPP must enable the corresponding data stream services on its remote server services.

User Session: enable this service to store the user session history log
SMS Accounting: enable this service to store the SMS accounting log

The log data which is provided by these services, is used to create various reports.

6.2.4. macman

See how to connect onway director with a macman node.

Connect onway director with macman

Macman nodes are configured in Administration → macman → Nodes. Add a macman node by adding the server IP address or FQDN, and the Peer ID of the macman node. The macman Peer ID is the hostname of the macman node. It is unique and can be configured for exactly one macman connection.

The macman remote peer is added during installation of the macman-remote-server package. The od_ip field of the configuration file /var/lib/macman-remote-server/config/host.json defines the onway director as its peer.

Trust the node and check the connection state.

Node Details

A click on a macman node card shows many details of that remote node, such as its configuration, connection state, connection certificate details and more.

Disconnect onway director from macman

See disconnect peer.

Configurations

The onway director supports multiple macman configurations. For example, you can imagine defining a laboratory configuration, a test configuration and a production configuration. The configuration acts as a container. A configuration has a unique name. It contains the macman revisions. A revision is a particular configuration at a time.

Instead of configuring node by node, the configuration workflow is the other way round:

Change the working configuration
Create a config revision
Assign the revision to one or many nodes
(Back to 1.)

This allows to update nodes quite fast, and even supports offline configuration.

NA Group Views

A network access group view is a container for network access groups. It is used if multiple NA Group’s are part of the authentication chain. This chain specifies the processing order for authentication. It is configured per NA Group View.

NAS Clients

Network Access Server Clients have a unique name, IP/Network, a shared secret with the RADIUS server (https://freeradius.org/) and reference at least one NAS Identifier.

The NAS identifier links to a network access group view.

The Big Picture

This graph shows how these components are connected to each other:

RADIUS

A previously uploaded certificate can be added to the RADIUS configuration.

Revisions

A revision is a snapshot of a particular configuration at a time. It is identified by an ascending revision ID. A new revision can be created by the administrator at any time, if the working configuration has been changed. All revisions are kept in a revision log. The revision details of the log can be accessed.

Any revision can be loaded as working configuration. It can be deleted to remove it from the log, too. All referenced items of a revision must be removed, too. A revision can’t be removed otherwise.

A revision is immutable and can’t be changed; create a new revision instead, if you want to make configuration changes

Distribute new Revision

This is a two-step action: assign → apply.

A revision can be assigned to one or many nodes. If more than one node is selected, the configuration revision is applied to one node after another. It is persisted in /var/lib/macman-remote-server/config/macman-config.json on the node. If a revision can’t be applied, a rollback to the previously applied revision is done automatically. The assigned and applied revision of a node is shown in the node details.

A macman revision can be assigned to a macman node, even if the node is disconnected. The distributed service infrastructure will try to make sure that all nodes have the assigned revision. A pending configuration update message might be shown. The node details provide all important information of a node.

Revision Cleanup

It is possible to remove unused revisions in one step.

6.2.5. onway controller

See how to connect onway director with an onway controller node.

Connect onway director with onway controller

onway controller nodes are configured in Administration → onway controller → Nodes. Add a onway controller node by adding the server IP address or FQDN, and the Peer ID of the onway controller node. The onway controller Peer ID is the hostname of the onway controller node. It is unique and can be configured for exactly one onway controller connection.

The onway controller remote peer is added during installation of the bastard-remote-server package. The od_ip field of the configuration file /var/lib/bastard-remote-server/config/host.json defines the onway director as its peer.

Trust the node and check the connection state.

Node Details

A click on a onway controller node card shows many details of that remote node, such as its configuration, connection state, connection certificate details and more.

Disconnect onway director from onway controller

See disconnect peer.

Device Types

onway controller device types are periodically retrieved from the onway ag support website: https://support.onway.ch/onway-director/device-type.json

6.3. Reporting

onway director is a reporting platform, too. It is connected to the remote client for this purpose. The remote client receives raw data from its peers continuously. This data is the basis for various reports.

All reports belong to a report category. The categories are used to group reports of the same topic. The following categories do exist:

User Session Reports: user session history data
SMS Reports: SMS accounting data

Users with reporting permissions are allowed to work with reports. The administrator doesn’t need special access right. He has access to all reports.

6.3.1. Report Overview

In this chapter you will find all currently supported reports:

User Session - Count

Shows the number of sessions.

User Session - Returning Users

Shows the number of users, grouped by their number of sessions. The report is divided into the following categories:

1 session
2-4 sessions
5-9 sessions
More than 9 sessions

User Session - Traffic

Shows the data traffic of users, grouped by download and upload of sessions. The report is divided into the following categories:

Incoming user traffic in the positive range of the y-axis
Outgoing user traffic in the negative range of the y-axis

User Session - Duration Distribution

Shows the distribution of sessions, grouped by their duration. The duration of a session is divided into the following categories:

0-5 minutes
5-15 minutes
15-30 minutes
30-60 minutes
1-2 hours
More than 2 hours

User Session - Total Duration

Shows the total duration of sessions.

User Session - Hourly Distribution

Shows the average number of sessions by hour of day.

User Session - Weekday Distribution

Shows the average number of sessions by weekday.

User Session - Tourism

Shows the number of sessions, grouped by users that have a phone number as their username. The report is divided into the following categories:

Sessions with domestic phone numbers
Sessions with foreign phone numbers
Sessions without phone numbers

User Session - User Registration

Shows the number of sessions, with newly registered users and others. The user report is divided into the following categories:

Sessions for which a new local user was created
Session with already known or anonymous users

User Session - Device Registration

Shows the number of sessions with new or updated user devices. The report is divided into the following categories:

Sessions for which a new device was registered
Sessions for which a registered device was updated
Sessions for which a registered device changed the user
Sessions for which no device was registered or updated

User Session - Authenticator

Shows the number of sessions per authenticator.

User Session - Profile

Shows the number of sessions per profile.

User Session - Type

Shows the number of users, grouped by the type of sessions. The session type is divided into the following categories:

Unauthenticated sessions
Login sessions
Auto sessions
Route sessions

SMS - Count

Shows the number of sent SMS as chart.

SMS - Country Distribution

Shows the number of sent SMS by country as table.

6.3.2. Create Report

There are two ways to create a report:

Periodic Report: schedule reports for continuous execution
Report: trigger an immediate or delayed report execution

Both types consist of two parts, a report configuration and the resulting report.

If a configuration is saved, it is listed within the reporting category.

A generated report is chosen from this list by clicking on its name. A configuration can be edited, or deleted. If a configuration is deleted, the derived report is deleted, too.

Report Configuration

A report configuration is defined for a category. All charts within the category use the same configuration. This makes it easy to compare the charts. It is possible to add multiple report configurations for the same category. A report configuration can be edited and reused. It must be removed manually.

It is possible to create multiple report configurations.

Example: adding a report configuration for the user session category will produce all available charts of that category.

A report configuration defines main aspects of the report, such as data filters, time period or data retention, execution and report permissions. The following sections explain this in more detail.

Data Retention (periodic report)

A periodic report is configured once, but runs every night. You can configure how many daily or monthly reports shall be kept, and if data from the past (earlier than now) shall be used or not.

Time Period (report)

Choose a time period. The From field is limited by the main data retention, which is configured by the administrator in the reporting settings. The To field can be any time after from.

Data Filter

A filter is added to limit the data of the report. A site filter can limit the number of involved sites for a session report, for example.

Tip: a filter can be configured as a regular expression in the advanced filter mode. Expressions can be tested immediately on existing data. A regular expression simplifies the filtering of sites that follow a naming convention.

Execution

Generation of a periodic report and a report is almost similar. Run a report configuration immediately, or run it delayed or within a user defined interval. Generation of a periodic report can be turned on/off. All reports are scheduled on an application.properties cron entry of the remote client.

Permissions

Access permission can be added to the report configuration, typically to limit access:

Read: defines groups with just read access
Edit: defines groups with read, create, edit and delete access

The edit permission includes the read permission.

Access is defined by the administrator. The administrator doesn’t need special access permissions.

6.3.3. Analyse Reports

After a report configuration was executed, multiple charts are generated and persisted on the remote client for analysis. The list of available reports is shown in the onway director. The charts open by a single click on the report name. In case of user session, a huge page of charts shows up.

You’re able to open report details, edit or delete the configuration which led to this report. You’re even able to regenerate the report in case of a periodic report. Of course you need the permissions for such actions.

Filter

Right on top, you’re able to adjust the filter, which is based on the underlying data. This allows you to analyze the data further. You can change the duration or the time range, and the sampling rate. The sampling rate shows the report as a time series over day or month. Reports have an additional sampling rate called aggregated.

Chart

The report chart provides additional features. A small info box explains the chart for better understanding.

Each chart has a status which shows details about its generation. In case of an error during the generation, it is possible to restart the generation.

Some charts offer to switch between percent and absolute values. Use percent to easily compare charts. Use count to see the amount of underlying data that led to this chart. Average/Total which is used, too, behaves similar.

Finally, click on the labels in the legend and turn values on/off to focus only on the data you want.

6.4. Logging

onway director offers access to logging data, too. It is connected to the remote client for this purpose. The remote client receives raw data from its peers continuously. This data can be accessed.

Users with reporting permissions are allowed to use logging. The administrator doesn’t need special access right. He has access to logging.

6.4.1. Logging Overview

In this chapter you will find all currently supported logs:

SMS Log

SMS Log offers access to the raw log data. SMS registrations can be searched and filtered.

It is possible to enable auto refresh, to see incoming registrations continuously.

6.5. Network Access Account

A network access account (NA Account) belongs to a Network Access Group. Four main types of NA accounts exist:

PEAP (Users/Devices)
iPSK Devices
MAB Devices
My Devices (Users/Devices)

NA Accounts can be added manually, or imported/exported as CSV.

The Search/Filter component on top offers many ways to find specific accounts. It can be used in combination with the CSV export, to limit the number of accounts. Or it allows finding deleted accounts, accounts with specific tags and much more.

6.5.1. PEAP Users

A PEAP user can be configured with the onway director. Search and manage PEAP users who can connect on a dedicated network via macman. Access is granted using a username and a password.

6.5.2. iPSK Devices

An iPSK device can be configured with the onway director. Search and manage iPSK devices that can connect to a dedicated network via macman. Access is granted using the MAC address and a WLAN Password (PSK). Alternatively, these devices can also be created via QR code.

The device is added manually or more comfortable by scanning the QR code from a phone.

Add via QR code

An iPSK QR code is generated automatically from a iPSK QR code configuration.

Figure 3. iPSK QR code pairing

Open the sidebar by choosing the wanted NA Group
Scan the QR code with a phone
Enter the pairing code which is displayed on the phone and click apply

The device’s additional parameters such as its validity and tags can then be adjusted and saved in the next step. The validity defines a starting and ending date (or a duration) for the account.

Add manually

An iPSK device can also be added manually by filling in the fields.

Open the sidebar by choosing 'Add manually'
Fill in the fields and save the form

The device’s additional parameters can then be adjusted and saved in the next step.

6.5.3. MAB Devices

A MAB device can be configured with the onway director. Search and manage MAB devices devices that can connect to a dedicated network via macman. Access is granted using the MAC address only.

6.5.4. My Devices

A My Device (also known as Bring Your Own Device) can be configured with the onway director. Manage your My Devices to connect them to a corporate network via macman. Access is granted via the credentials provided.

To access My Devices, the Use My Device permission must be granted in My Device settings.

6.5.5. CSV

Accounts of type PEAP, iPSK and MAB are supported.

Export

CSV export downloads the complete list of network access accounts. Such accounts can be opened in a spreadsheet application. The character encoding is UTF-8, and the separator is derived from the language or defined by your settings.

The export respects the filter settings. This allows to export accounts of a specific network access group, for example.

Passwords are not exported.

Import

CSV import consists of three steps:

Prepare and upload CSV file
Map columns to network access account fields and run the import
Analyze import result summary, any maybe redo CSV import with failed accounts

Accounts which are already stored in the onway director are updated if they appear in the import.

Preparation and upload

Make sure that your CSV file contains all relevant fields. PEAP users need a username and a password, while iPSK devices need a MAC address and a PSK, and MAB devices need a MAC address.

Please do not mix accounts of different network access groups. All uploaded accounts must belong to the same group.

An exported CSV file is UTF-8 encoded. This is the default encoding. The alternative encoding ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) is supported, too.

The locale defines the separator, typically ',' or ';'. You can define your own separator.

Use the header line of a CSV export. onway director will try to map columns automatically if a header line is available. A header line can be marked with a #, but does not have to

onway director supports several formats for time values, according to ISO-8601, or to our custom format:

custom format, 03.12.2011 10:15:30
ISO date-time format, i.e. 2011-12-03T10:15:30+01:00
ISO instant format, i.e. 2011-12-03T10:15:30Z

Column mapping and import

Columns are mapped automatically if the uploaded file has a header line with the correct names.

Examples:

username is mapped to the Username field
mac_address is mapped to the MAC Address field
password → Password
psk → PSK
valid_from → Valid from
tag → Tags
and so on…

All available columns from the CSV file are presented in select boxes for all NA account fields. Two consecutive lines of the uploaded file are previewed in the select boxes. The preview shows the spreadsheet application column ([A1]..[Z99]) in order to keep the overview.

The mapping shows entries such as [A1] my cell text. This defines a cell on the first column (A) and the first row (1) of your input file

Increment or decrement Start at CSV row to preview different lines of the file.

If the uploaded file doesn’t provide a header line, you must set the mapping yourself, field by field. So define a header and things go easy.

Set start at CSV row = 2, if a header line is provided, to skip the header line. Otherwise you’ll see a failed line afterwards. If a header line is marked with #, it is skipped automatically, and you don’t need to start at row 2.

Start the import if at least all mandatory fields are set.

Import summary

onway director imports the file line by line. A percentage progress is displayed during import. At the end, a summary shows up. Is lists the number of inserted and failed accounts, if an error happened during import.

Errors might happen for various reasons, such as missing data, invalid data or if the header line was not skipped.

All erroneous data can be downloaded as CSV to be corrected in the spreadsheet application. Close the sidebar and redo the import with the failed accounts.

6.5.6. NA Account Details

Move entities: Entities such as guest user, MPP device, MPP voucher, Macman user and Macman device can be moved from one organizational unit to another. Delete permission on the source (old) OU and create permission on the target (new) OU are required.
Upload CSV File: The file upload offers to download a sample CSV file for the chosen entity. This sample file can be used as a template. It contains the required CSV header fields.

API: We added an API to manage Guest users, MPP devices, MPP vouchers, Macman users and Macman devices. See dedicated client API documentation for more information.
Improve SSL security: Peer verification algorithms have been improved to make SSL connections more robust.

There may be situations where some user directories that were previously able to successfully connect to an LDAP or AD server may no longer be able to do so. In most cases, this is the reason because an IP has been specified instead of the fully qualified domain name.
