Key terms
- WorldOpp Federated Servers. The computing server that hosts the software applications that WorldOpp Middleware powers. The CNM Next Servers is one of the CNM Cloud Foundation.
Script
- If we imagine that CNM apps are people and the CNM Cloud Foundation are a combination of their homes, we may treat WorldOpp Middleware as their municipal services such as mail delivery, local police, Internet broadband, public transportation, parking lots, etc.
- WorldOpp Middleware's systems provide all CNM apps with federated services. These services particularly feature the distributed database and user management system.
- The distributed database stores most important data from different CNM apps, so it can be accessed in one place rather than in every CNM app.
- The user management system handles all the authentications and authorizations. In our imaginary town, the user management system would combine two entities: (a) the ID-issuing authority and (b) ID policing reinforcement.
- CNM Cabin is the user interface (UI) that allows end-users like you to access the Middleware.
- The Middleware is built those solutions that are on the market. For instance, it uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to communicate user data to the Cloud's apps. The core of the Middleware is the only exception. Its code is custom-written specifically for CNM Cloud.
- All the software systems of CNM Cloud use popular commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions only.
CNM Cloud SSO is the successor lectio.
