Web GUI Client
The Web Management Interface (Web GUI) client is a web-based management interface
which allows you to securely manage agents from anywhere using a web browser. The

Authentication and encryption

The Unified Wire Manager requires user authentication to manage a system. A user must have
administrative privileges to manage a system. The authentication credentials, as well as all data
exchanged between the CLI client or the Web GUI and the agent, are encrypted using SSL.
This ensures that the data cannot be accessed when it is being transmitted over the network.
