Web-based self-provisioning

In addition to SMS based self-provisioning, DME supports the use of the Web for self-provisioning. DME ships with a servlet called dmePushInstall, which can be used as a self-provisioning tool. By using this tool, a user can request a software push or an OTA configuration (such as an access point) without direct access to the DME Web Administration Interface.

The installation is received as an SMS push; OMA DM installation is not supported through this interface.

The typical use of the dmePushInstall tool is to let users, who have not yet been registered in the DME system, enter a phone number and select which device they have. Submitting the request will result in a software push from the DME server, effectively creating the user and his/her device in DME.

This mechanism will typically be published on a corporate intranet, branded as a DME self-service portal - such as below:

Please be advised that using the dmePushInstall tool requires some skills in web programming.

Furthermore, for a software package or an OTA configuration to be accessible to this kind of self-service, it must have an associated SMS code - see Self-provisioning.
