Components of Connection Manager

There are two components to Connection Manager:

  1. Connection Manager Server: Runs in the internal network. Establishes control connections to the Connection Manager Agent. Accepts connection request from the Agent over the control connection and creates TCP Connections to the Agent.
  2. Connection Manager Agent: Runs in the DMZ. Requests connections over the control connections and accepts connection request from the Connection Manager Server.

Connection Manager Agent is shipped with MFT Internet Server. Connection Manager Server is distributed with MFT Command Center. MFT Command Center is required to configure the Connection Manager Agent and Server.
