What it is

body: | The UMS is the server that manages the endpoints. Configuration, grouping, monitoring, policies, firmware, certificates, network settings and software packages all come from it, applied to a single device or to a group. It manages IGEL OS 11 and 12 side by side. - heading:

Two consoles

body: | UMS 12 has a browser-based **Web App** and a Java-based **Console**. The Web App is where day-to-day work happens; the Console still carries the deeper administrative functions. - heading:

How it talks to the endpoints

body: | Through the **Unified Protocol**, a WebSocket connection that carries everything between UMS 12 and IGEL OS 12, and only between those two. Because it is a single WebSocket, an external load balancer such as F5 BIG-IP or Citrix NetScaler can sit in front of it. That gives you load distribution and availability in the management layer. With **Distributed UMS**, several UMS servers run on one shared database. - heading:

What the licence level decides

body: | All IGEL OS Editions include a UMS licence. An external database, the IGEL Cloud Gateway and Distributed UMS arrive with Standard; the distributed app repository and using the UMS as a certificate authority proxy arrive with Enterprise. Downgrading takes features away immediately, and IGEL says so in the manual. Nothing is deleted, so an upgrade restores it.status: corpus: 315 services: - {ref: services/managed-security, score: 0.48} - {ref: services/service-desk, score: 0.41} - {ref: services/lizenzmanagement, score: 0.34} - {ref: services/managed-service, score: 0.34} experts: - {ref: experts/valentina-cicmak, score: 0.68} - {ref: experts/michael-steg, score: 0.34} - {ref: experts/oliver-erismann, score: 0.20} neighbours: - {ref: solutions/igel, relation: parent} - {ref: solutions/igel/igel-os, score: 0.74} - {ref: solutions/igel/addon/igel-contextual-access, score: 0.64} search: /en/search.json

What it is

The UMS is the server that manages the endpoints. Configuration, grouping, monitoring, policies, firmware, certificates, network settings and software packages all come from it, applied to a single device or to a group. It manages IGEL OS 11 and 12 side by side.

Two consoles

UMS 12 has a browser-based Web App and a Java-based Console. The Web App is where day-to-day work happens; the Console still carries the deeper administrative functions.

How it talks to the endpoints

Through the Unified Protocol, a WebSocket connection that carries everything between UMS 12 and IGEL OS 12, and only between those two. Because it is a single WebSocket, an external load balancer such as F5 BIG-IP or Citrix NetScaler can sit in front of it. That gives you load distribution and availability in the management layer.

With Distributed UMS, several UMS servers run on one shared database.

What the licence level decides

All IGEL OS Editions include a UMS licence. An external database, the IGEL Cloud Gateway and Distributed UMS arrive with Standard; the distributed app repository and using the UMS as a certificate authority proxy arrive with Enterprise.

Downgrading takes features away immediately, and IGEL says so in the manual. Nothing is deleted, so an upgrade restores it.

What we do with it

Draft, unreviewed

Draft, not yet reviewed. We size the UMS before the endpoints. What decides the sizing is whether the estate has to survive the server being down. Distributed UMS is a Standard-licence feature and a day-one architecture decision; retrofitting it after two thousand devices are registered is a lot of work.

This paragraph is a draft and nobody at soulTec has confirmed it yet. Everything above it describes the product and is checkable against the vendor.
