One-Way Communication<br />

NAT traversal has become an increasingly more significant issue in the current<br />

real-world network environment. In order to address this issue, MCP uses one-way<br />

communication. One-way communication has the Control Manager agent initiating<br />

the connection to and polling of commands from the server. Each request is a<br />

CGI-like command query or log transmission. In order to reduce the network impact,<br />

the connection is kept alive and open as much as possible. A subsequent request uses<br />

an existing open connection. Even if the connection is dropped, all connections<br />

involving SSL to the same host benefit from session ID cache that drastically reduces<br />

re-connection time.<br />

Two-Way Communication<br />

Two-way communication is an alternative to one-way communication. It is still based<br />

on one-way communication, but has an extra channel to receive server notifications.<br />

This extra channel is also based on HTTP protocol. Two-way communication can<br />

improve real time dispatching and processing of commands from the server by the<br />

Control Manager agent. The Control Manager agent side needs a Web server or CGI<br />

compatible program that can process CGI-like requests to receive notifications from<br />

Control Manager server.<br />

Single Sign-on (SSO) Support<br />

Through MCP, Control Manager 3.5 now supports single sign-on (SSO) functionality<br />

for <strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> products. This feature allows users to sign in to Control Manager and<br />

access the resources of other <strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> products without having to sign in to those<br />

products as well.<br />

The following products support SSO with Control Manager 3.5:<br />

• <strong>InterScan</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Appliance</strong><br />

• SeverProtect for Linux version 2.5<br />

• Network VirusWall Enforcer 1200<br />

• Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500<br />

Cluster Node Support<br />
