HP OpenView Operations provides you with a business-drivenapproach to achieving rapid control of your e-services. It is anenterprise-class management solution that monitors, controlsand reports on the health of the enterprise across boundaries,thereby improving uptime off all layers that compose the elec-tronic enterprise environment of today: the network, systems,databases, applications, services and the Internet.
the OpenView advanced security concept
The HP OpenView Operations core product comes withstandard protection against passive attacks (eavesdropping)by securing network traffic. With Advanced Security, an add-on product, the HP OpenView Operations communicationinfrastructure is extended to support the authentication,encryption and integrity of management data:
between the central management servers
between management servers and distributedintelligent agents
between management servers and the connectedoperator consoles (Java UI)
Protection is ensured for sensitive information contained inHP OpenView Operations messages, action requests, actionresponses and configuration data.
For example, with an Internet banking application the proxyand name servers supporting the application need to resideoutside the firewall. Because of potential security issues, theseservers need to be managed securely. The communicationbetween the agents and the management server therefore needsto be as secure as possible. This is achieved with HP OpenViewAdvanced Security.

the distributed intelligent agents, as well as between differentmanagement servers. It ensures that the communication isauthenticated and checked for data integrity.
the open security model
HP OpenView Advanced Security allows a seamless integrationwith an existing security solution:
It supports the Generic Security Service (GSS)standard version 2 (RFC 2078) with an API.
It is independent from any encryption technology.Even homegrown encryption solutions can plug in,if they are GSS compliant.
It provides an open interface to plug in a Public KeyInfrastructure (PKI) solution based on GSS.
secure Java user interface
Having a secured link between the Java UI client and theHP OpenView Operations management server is essentialto prevent spoofing.
In the case of working from remote, when the operator does
not know how the service provider routes data transferredacross the network, a secured link is a primary concern toprevent eavesdropping or even worse attacks.
The HP OpenView Advanced Security add-on guaranteessecrecy, data integrity and authentication for the communicationbetween the management server and the connected Java UIclients. It comes with an out-of-the-box implementation of theSecure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, the de facto standard usedfor the Internet.
ease of use with hp OpenView operations
Tight integration with the HP OpenView Operations central
management server and the distributed intelligent agentsensures that security can be easily configured from the HPOpenView Operations central management server.
Administrators are able to individually select the managednodes and the operator accounts for which the securecommunication is enabled.
