3 Overlord monitors the condition of all other services and restarts a
service if it fails to initialize properly or ceases to operate at any point.
Overlord may also force a total system reboot if necessary.
4 Authorization provides the mechanism for authenticating remote
users against user databases located on either the Aurorean Policy
Server or an external authentication server (such as a RADIUS
device). Authorization also serves another security role, by enforcing
a strict ring level hierarchy for Delivery messages to prevent
unauthorized access to sensitive information.
5 FTP provides the mechanism for transferring files between Aurorean
VN systems and RiverMaster. FTP also allows Aurorean Client
computers to synchronize their TollSaver databases against the
master database on the Aurorean Policy Server, receiving updated
POP phone numbers and group policy settings.
6 Notification carries system status and alarm/alert conditions between
Aurorean VN components so that each component remains aware of
the operating state of the other components.
7 Log maintains a running record of system events and messages
received by each Aurorean component. The RiverMaster application
displays these logs and extracts information from them to produce
daily reports.
