Developing a utility with agents
Hi All.
I`m pretty new in Java world so it`s possible that my question is pretty basic.
I`m about to develop a utility which is based on a master server, which contains the data of the system and run all the computations I`ll need.
This master server shall get information from agents which are installed on different locations.
The data will contain stuff like CPU Usage of the OS, FileSystems installed etc.
I`m looking for the right architecture of communication between the server and the agents.
This communication shall be secured of course, so no one whith access to the server on the IP port will be able to act as an agent.
Can you recommend me what is the best way to implement it?
Thanks,
Stam.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When it is a SSLSocket, then there would be a certificate check between client and server as happened with browser and server (certificate hand-shake).

The solution of SecureSocket will encrypt the transportation between the components.
I`m concerned by another issue - how can I make sure that the client connected to the main server is really a certified client.
Is there any authentication solution between the components?
Thanks,
