Communication
HTTPS-based Java GUI is a solution for providing a secure
communication between Java GUI and the HP Operations management
server.
The standard Java GUI supplied with HPOM 8 has no secured link to
the management server. This functionality is provided with the
HTTPS-based Java GUI, that is the Java GUI which uses a HTTPS
protocol with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for communication
with HP Operations management server. The SSL encryption is based on
the Core functionality components.
For more information about the HTTPS-based Java GUI architecture,
configuring and usage, refer to the HPOM Java GUI Operator’s Guide.
Instructions on how to install and enable the HTTPS-based Java GUI, as
well as to disable the non-secure communication between the Java GUI
client and the HP Operations management server are detailed in the
HPOM Installation Guide for the Management Server.
Establishing a Secure Communication
The process of establishing a secure communication is as follows:
Java GUI client connects to the opcuihttps process, which acts as a
proxy between Java GUI client and HP Operations management server
using the HTTPS protocol.
Java GUI communicates with opcuihttps process using a secure
HTTPS protocol on the port 35211. The opcuihttps then redirects the
HTTPS requests to the standard Java GUI port (2531) using socket
communication.
NOTE
Make sure the port to which the HTTPS requests are redirected is set to
the default value 2531. The option for connecting the opcuihttps
process to other than default opcuiwww port is currently not available.
