Using the CHARON-SSP Agent

The CHARON-SSP Agent is a Linux service that runs on a system that will be managed by the CHARON-SSP Manager.  This service provides the interface between the CHARON-SSP Management GUI and the virtual machine software.  A prerequisite of installing the CHARON-SSP Agent is that the CHARON-SSP for Linux virtual machine software must already be installed.

The following sections describe how to manipulate the CHARON-SSP Agent software.

The default installation of CHARON-SSP Agent can be insecure. To ensure the most secure environment for the CHARON-SSP Agent and the virtual machines it interfaces to, please complete the post-installation tasks documented in the section Installing the CHARON-SSP Agent.

Starting the Agent Service

The CHARON-SSP Agent service can be started by executing the following command from a privileged account:

# service charon-agentd-ssp start

Stopping the Agent Service

The CHARON-SSP Agent can be stopped by executing the following command from a privileged account:

# service charon-agentd-ssp stop

TCP/IP Ports Used by CHARON-SSP Agent

Communication between the CHARON-SSP Agent and Manager is achieved over the TCP/IP port 9091.  To ensure correct operation, the CHARON-SSP Agent must be able to bind to port 9091/tcp and the CHARON-SSP Manager must be able to connect to the same port.
