SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH is a program that enables you to log into another system over a network
and execute commands on that system. It also enables you to move files from
one system to another, and it provides authentication and secure
communications over insecure channels. SSH uses a public/private key pair to
provide a secure mechanism to authenticate and encrypt communication. The
private key is kept secure on the CMS, while the public key is installed on each
managed system.
SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer)
Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol for enabling secure communications over
an HTTP session. It uses public/private key algorithms to authenticate and
encrypt data communication across the network.
SSO
Single Sign On.
system collection
System collections provide a way to search the Systems Insight Manager
database for systems that share common attributes, such as operating
system type or hardware type. System collections can also be arbitrary
collections of systems. Systems can belong to one or more system
collections.
VME
Virtual management environment.
WBEM (Web-
Based Enterprise
Management)
WBEM is an industry initiative to provide management of systems, networks,
users, and applications across multiple vendor environments. WBEM simplifies
system management, providing better access to both software and hardware
data that is readable by WBEM compliant applications.
WMI (Windows
Management
Instrumentation)
An API in the Windows operating system that enables systems in a network,
typically enterprise networks, to be managed and controlled.
WS-MAN
