Creating Provisioning Scripts Proprietary Plain-Text Configuration File 2 In the case of XML-style profiles, the argument to --key must be the same as the argument to the -k option given to openssl. In the case of SPC compiled profiles, the argument to --key must be the same as the argument to either the --ascii-key or the --hex-key options, as given to SPC. post The post option provides an alternative access method for the http and https schemes. If left unspecified, the IP Telephony Device performs an HTTP GET operation, when contacting the provisioning server. If specified, on the other hand, the device performs an HTTP POST operation. The body of the POST is generated from the contents of one of the general purpose parameters, GPP_A through GPP_P, with macro expansion applied. The GPP_* parameter to use is indicated by a single lowercase letter (a through p) given as argument to the term --post. Using POST provides a convenient alternative to the GET method when arbitrary state or identifying information needs to be supplied from the IP Telephony Device to the server, as part of periodic resyncs. For example, GPP_F could contain the following POST body template: Product = "$PN"; MAC_Addr = "$MA"; Ser_Num = "$SN"; SW_Ver = "$SWVER"; Then, a URL option such as the following would use the POST method to convey the information to the server in the body of the profile request message (shown here with an accompanying URL): [--post f ] http://ps.one.com/cpe/resyncs? alias The alias option provides a flexible means of recognizing alternative parameter names in XML-based configuration profiles. This is useful in cases where part of the configuration profile is obtained from a customer database form that uses different terminology than expected by the IP Telephony Device. For example, a customer XML profile specifies the SIP registration parameters: name, number, auth-secret, enclosed in an XML element hierarchy as follows: J.
