Remote Clients

If you have purchased a license for the Remote Client Edition of TIBCO ActiveSpaces, then you can implement ActiveSpaces on remote clients.

A remote client acts as a node without actually being a a member of the cluster. Instead of being directly connected to the space, it is connected through a proxy—typically through an as-agent.

If you are connecting to a space through a firewall, the applications that connect must connect as remote clients.

Remote clients can:

• Run applications that use the API operations, and perform all of the basic space operations—Get, Put, Take, Lock, and so on.
• Run the Admin CLI to allow operators to issue administrative commands.
• Use the same notification mechanisms that are used by nodes within the cluster.

• Remote Client Communication
