Description
Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform management functions. A web server can be accessed remotely and must be able to enforce remote access policy requirements or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements. As the web server for the vRA Virtual Appliance Management Interface (vAMI), Lighttpd is the primary remote access management system for vRA. vRA uses CIMOM to Authenticate the sysadmin and to enforce policy requirements.
