Technology Workflows
Configuring HTTP Auth Service on the DPE
Table 3-6 below identifies the configuration tasks that you must perform to configure the AUTH services
on the DPE.
Provisioning Group Configuration Workflow
Provisioning groups are automatically created when the DPE is first configured to be in a particular
provisioning group (see Adding DPE to a Provisioning Group, page 12-18), and then it registers with the
RDU. After the provisioning group is created, you can configure it by assigning the URL of the Cisco
BAC server from the administrator user interface.
Before configuring the provisioning group URL, familiarize yourself with Cisco BAC concepts
regarding local and regional redundancy. These concepts are described in Provisioning Group Scalability
and Failover, page 12-16.
Note We recommend that you assign a URL to the provisioning group right when you create the provisioning
group. Assigning the URL enables CPE redirection between provisioning groups. If you are using a load
balancer, ensure that the address of the load balancer is used as the ACS URL.
