Product Connectivity

TIBCO ActiveSpaces product connectivity can be broken down into the following categories:
  • ActiveSpaces client application to data grid process connectivity
  • ActiveSpaces data grid process to data grid process connectivity

Both client applications and data grid processes communicate with the realm service in the TIBCO FTL server. After the initial realm communication, client applications communicate with proxy processes. The proxy processes forward requests internally to the data grid and then forward replies back to the external client application. Internal grid communication happens between proxy, state keeper, and node processes at different points in time.

As an administrator, with the help of the security guidelines, you can secure both internal grid communication and external client-to-proxy communication. You can also help application developers configure a client application and connect to a secure data grid. The following high-level diagram shows the connectivity information.
