sent from the ALE CCI to the carrier CCI. The SA in the carrier CCI determines whether ALE is allowed
by the carrier to access an OXO Connect managed. On OXO Connect side, a VPN connection request
coming through a carrier CCI is managed in the same way as through the ALE CCI.
Figure 2 describes an example of VPN request through architecture with double CCI.

3.4.2 VPN link setup description
The following data are necessary for VPN link setup:
• CC credentials (login and password): used by connection service to connect to the CCI, allowing the
application to use CCI
• CC product id: used by the CCI, to identify the target OXO Connect
• User/organization name: temporarily stored in OXO Connect to know the VPN requester. Used for
information only
• VPN gateway id: used by OXO Connect to sent the VPN request to the right gateway. Not used by
CCI
• VPN information: used by OXO Connect and/or VPN gateway to establish the VPN. Not used by
CCI
Once the VPN is set up, usual login/password are used by applications to connect to OXO Connect.
Figure 3 describes the chronology of the steps that allow an application to connect to OXO Connect.
