Usage model demo business rules

When a user requests a license, the Reference Implementation server checks the metadata that the client has sent, to determine whether the content was packaged by using the RI_UsageModelDemo property. If that is the case, the server applies the following business rules.

• If one of the DRM policies requires authentication:

  • If the request contains a valid authentication token, search for the name of the user in the Customer database table.

    If you cannot locate the name of the user, complete the following tasks:

    • If the Customer.IsSubscriber property is set to true, you need to generate a license for the Subscription usage model and send it to the user.

    • Search for a record in the CustomerAuthorization database table for the name of the user and the content ID.

    If you can locate the user’s record, complete the following tasks:

    • If the CustomerAuthorization.UsageType property is set to DTO, generate a license for the DTO usage model and send it to the user.

    • If the CustomerAuthorization.UsageType property is set to VOD, generate a license for the VOD usage model and send it to the user.

    If none of the DRM policies allow for anonymous access, complete the following tasks:

    • If there is not a valid authentication token in the request, you need to return an “authentication required” error.
    • Otherwise return a “not authorized” error.

• If one of the DRM policies allows for anonymous access, generate a license for the Ad-funded usage model and send it to the user.
