Communication and security

The core communication is based on socket connections between StorMan client and StorMan server (port 4178). Using the CLI functions the communication handling is encapsulated in the CLI call, terminated by defined return codes.

The WebUI applications can be called from any workstation within the LAN.

The communication between StorMan WebUI, CLI and StorMan server is secured by SSL encryption.

The communication between SHC-OSD and StorMan server is optionally secured by SSL encryption, depending on the setting in SHC-OSD parameter file.

The communication between StorMan and the SMI-S providers is secured by SSL encryption for ETERNUS DX/AF (https port 5989).
