Basic components

A basic installation of Management and Security Server includes the following components:

Administrative Server

The Administrative Server is the central component of Host Access Management and Security Server that enables you to define terminal emulation sessions, and then configure and manage secure settings for those sessions.

The interface for the Administrative Server is the Administrative WebStation, where you configure and save settings.

Metering Server

Use the Metering Server to monitor the use of terminal sessions, including the ability to track the number of connections and total connection time per user. The Metering Server is included with Management and Security Server without needing a separate license.

You have the option to install the Metering Server either during or after the initial installation.

The Metering Server can be installed either on the same server as the Administrative Server or on another system. Before you can meter the use of terminal sessions, you must set up the metering server.

Configuration Utilities

While the automated installer handles most of the configuration, one or more utilities may be required after you complete the basic installation and configuration steps. See Appendix A: Configuration Utilities for more information.
