Enter Alpaca (formerly “bwptk,” BroadWorks Provisioning Toolkit), the Java library that handles the vagaries of OCI-P, simplifying the integration. With Alpaca, you can write code to create and manage enterprises, users, groups, assign features, with a clean Java API. And regular updates from ECG ensure you have the BroadWorks OCI-P support you need.

Sample code to update user’s passwords. With proper device management, this can correct all the bad SIP authentication passwords in a BroadWorks system:

List users = alpaca.getAllUsersInSystem();
for (User u : users)
   String p = generatePassword();
   u.setAuthentication(u.getUserId(), p);
}
