Connection Manager Nodes

You can create and manage Connection Manager nodes to the TIBCO MFT Command Center system through the Management > Connection Manager Nodes option. Connection Manager supports DMZ server instances to create connections to servers in the internal network without opening the connection from the DMZ; all connections are opened from the internal network.

The following three types of Connection Manager nodes can be added to the system:
  • CMS (Connection Manager Server): CMS executes in the internal network. It connects to CMA (Connection Manager Agent) nodes in the DMZ and waits for CMA to request sessions.
  • CMA: CMA executes in the DMZ. It waits for a control connection from CMS; it then sends connection requests to CMS over the control connection.
  • Internet Server: Internet Server instances execute in the DMZ. They request sessions through CMA.

For more information of how the Connection Manager nodes work, see Appendix A. Connection Manager.
