Hi Community,
Is the auto provisioning (subscriber-create-on-demand) of OSMO-NITB is still present or available in OSMO-BSC/OSMO-MSC/OSMO-HLR version?
We tried to use the “authentication optional” under OSMO-MSC configuration but still, it checks if the subscriber is provisioned in OSMO-HLR.
Best Regard,
Ron Menez ron.menez@entropysolution.commailto:ron.menez@entropysolution.com
It is not available anymore for new splits. Hope this feature will have in future updates.
Best, DUO

No, it is not. As the feature is only relevant to quite non-standard use cases, it has not been a priority. See http://osmocom.org/issues/2542
In general, operating a network without your own SIM cards is highly discouraged in just about any environment. You cannot authenticate the subscriber, threfore you're vulnerable to all kinds of spoofing, impersonation attacks and fraud.
Also, you never know where such cards with IMSIs from third party operators will try to register. they might get rejected with "illegal sim card" from another operator, resulting in extremely unreliable and dissatisfactory user experience.
Noted on this Harald and thanks for the information community.
