Software Components

The CA DLP iConsole comprises the following components:

iConsole

This is a lightweight, browser-based application providing event searching and auditing features previously only available in the Data Management console. It is primarily aimed at auditors, reviewers and compliance personnel.

Front-end Web Server

iConsole users must direct their browser to the front-end Web server. That is, they must direct their browsers to a URL based on the name or IP address of the machine hosting the front-end Web server.

The front-end Web server generates the HTML content for the various screens in the iConsole. It also submits all event searches generated in the iConsole to the application server (see below) and renders the matching events returned from the application server as HTML search results screens.

Application server

Sometimes referred to as the ‘back-end server’, this component provides the Web service that connects to the CMS. It enables all event search and auditing activity conducted in the iConsole to be written to the CMS. It enables iConsole users to search for, retrieve and audit events stored on the CMS.
