ibaManagementStudio consists of a server and one or more agents. The server is the central object that manages the connection to the different agents and prepares the collected information for the web client.

The web client can be accessed via any standard web browser, which can be on any device on the network, regardless of the platform. After successful login, the user receives the collected information about the different iba software products, depending on the configured access permissions. With the ibaManagementStudio+ license, you can also update the iba software and licenses on the connected systems via the web client.

Connection between server and agents

The server and agents can communicate either initiated by the server or the agent. For more information on the communication, see Communication concept.

A server-initiated connection is possible if the server and agent are in the same network. See also Server-initiated connection.

An agent-initiated connection is useful if the server and agent are connected via VPN, for example, and a firewall or router is connected between them. See also Agent-initiated connection.
