Single Point of Management Using the NSJSP
Manager
In releases prior to NSJSP 6.1, an iTP Secure WebServer environment included only
one NSJSP installation. An NSJSP installation includes two server classes. An NSJSP
Server Class can be configured to include multiple Hosts. Web applications are
deployed in and run within these Hosts. To manage the web applications running in a
Host, NSJSP included an application, called the Manager Web application. However,
an instance of the Manager Web application could only manage applications running
on a single Host. To manage web applications running on multiple Hosts, an instance
of the Manager Web application was required for each Host.
Figure 4-52 illustrates the architecture of the old Manager application.
Starting with the NSJSP 6.1 release, the NSJSP Manager application is introduced to
support single point of management in the following scenarios:

Multiple Hosts within a Server Class

Multiple NSJSP Installations within an iTP Secure WebServer Environment

NSJSP Installations in an iTP Secure WebServer Configured for Online-Upgrade
Multiple Hosts within a Server Class
The NSJSP Manager application enables the management of web applications running
in multiple Hosts within a server class.
