OpenWiFi Provisioning Service (OWPROV)
What is it?
The OWPROV is a service for the TIP OpenWiFi CloudSDK (OWSDK). OWPROV manages groups of access points through the use of entities and vanues. OWPROV, like all other OWSDK microservices, is defined using an OpenAPI definition and uses the ucentral communication protocol to interact with Access Points. To use the OWGW, you either need to build it or use the Docker version.
Building
In order to build the OWPROV, you will need to install its dependencies, which includes the following:
- cmake
- boost
- POCO 1.10.1 or later
- a C++17 compiler
- openssl
- libpq-dev (PortgreSQL development libraries)
- mysql-client (MySQL client)
- librdkafka
- cppkafka
The build is done in 2 parts. The first part is to build a local copy of the framework tailored to your environment. This framework is called Poco. The version used in this project has a couple of fixes from the master copy needed for cmake. Please use the version of this Poco fix. Building Poco may take several minutes depending on the platform you are building on.
Ubuntu
These instructions have proven to work on Ubuntu 20.4.
sudo apt install git cmake g++ libssl-dev libmariadb-dev
sudo apt install libpq-dev libaprutil1-dev apache2-dev libboost-all-dev
sudo apt install librdkafka-dev // default-libmysqlclient-dev

Raspberry
The build on a rPI takes a while. You can shorten that build time and requirements by disabling all the larger database support. You can build with only SQLite support by not installing the packages for PostgreSQL, and MySQL by adding -DSMALL_BUILD=1 on the cmake build line.
sudo apt install git cmake g++ libssl-dev libaprutil1-dev apache2-dev libboost-all-dev libyaml-cpp-dev
git clone https://github.com/stephb9959/poco

Root entity
It's UUID value is 0000-0000-0000. Its parent entity must be empty.
Entity
Creation rules
- You must set the parent of an entity.
- The only properties you may set at creation are:
- name
- description
- notes
- parent
Modification rules
You may modify the following fields in the POST
- name
- description
- notes
Delete
- Children must be empty
Inventory Tags
Creation rules
- Entity must point to an existing non-root entity
- If you associate a venue, it must exist.
- You must use an existing device type. Device type cannot be empty.
- Name, description, notes are allowed.
Modification rules
- You can modify the device type to another valid one.
Venue
Creation rules
- If you include an entity, the parent must bot be set
- if you include a parent, the entity must not be set
- You cannot have children upon creation.
- You may include an array of devices UUIDs
- Topology and design cannot be set
