How the SPML Service Works

This section explains how an SPML request works from the Requesting Authority through to the provisioning server.

1. Using the SPML Manager, an administrator creates a new user.
2. The SPML Manager creates an SPML-specific XML form and sends it to the SPML service.
3. The SPML Service translates the request to LDAP and passes the LDAP request to the Provisioning Server.
4. The Provisioning Server processes the LDAP request.
5. The Provisioning Server sends confirmation to the SPML Service.
6. The SPML Service sends confirmation to the SPML Manager.
