HP Operations Manager HTTPS Agent and SPI software provides highly secure communication between
Operation Manager Server on UNIX 8.x and their managed nodes. HTTPS agents are
generally used and administered in the same way as DCE-based agents.
Applications are launched in the same way. All functionality that
is available with DCE-based agents is also available with HTTPS
agents unless explicitly stated otherwise. Policies for HTTPS agents
are created, assigned and deployed in a similar way as templates for
DCE-based agents.
HTTPS-based communication provides you with the following major
advantages:
- Simple management through firewalls with configurable,
single-port, secure communication using open HTTPS-based
communication techniques. Restrict outside access to dedicated HTTP
proxies and reduce port usage by multiplexing over HTTP proxies.
- Out-of-the-box Internet Secure Communication using SSL/PKI
encryption with server and client certificates for authentication.
- Communication is based on standard Web technologies (HTTP,
SOAP, Proxies, SSL etc.), available in every environment today, and
familiar to every IT administrator.
- Message format based on XML and SOAP used for message
security from the Operations Manager HTTPS Agent to the
Operations Manager Server.
- IP independence/dynamic IP (DHCP). Managed nodes can be
identified by their unique OvCoreID and not necessarily by their IP
addresses.
- OpenView standard control and deployment mechanism.
The Version 8, HP Operations Manager HTTPS Agent and SPI
software is now available
for download. This agent provides the following new functionality:
- Support for OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 or later.
- Support for OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.2-1 or later.
- Support for Operations Manager Server on UNIX 8.x only, but
does not support Operations Manager Server on Windows 8.x.
- Supports only English version.
