The Assure UI portal uses portal connections which identify the host or IP address for the node where it will connect, the platform of the node, and the user ID and password options to use for the connection. An instance configured in the Assure UI portal uses portal connections to retrieve data and perform actions.
The Assure UI server performs authentication to the node and then establishes communication.
The nodes in the Assure MIMIX instance (source and target) communicate using transfer definitions.
