Multi-Platform Installations

The Connector Server Framework is the configuration of Connector Servers that exist on multiple systems, which could be Windows or Solaris systems.

The following use cases are supported:

Use Case 1
- Provisioning Server and connector server installed on a Solaris system.
- A second Connector Server installed on a Windows system, serving the non-multi-platform connectors.
Use Case 2
- Provisioning Server and connector server installed on a Windows system.
- A second Connector Server installed on Solaris system, serving the multi-platform connectors.
- A third Connector Server installed on a remote Windows system, serving the other connectors.
Use Case 3
- Provisioning Server installed on a Windows or Solaris system and a Connector Server installed on the same system.
- Multiple additional Connector Servers installed on Windows or Solaris systems, serving as endpoint agents. This scenario is important for cases where the connector is using a proprietary or un-secured communication channel. Using this topology, the important segment of network traffic is secured by the standard Provisioning Server to Connector Server communication protocol and not by the proprietary protocol.
