Overview

Samsung Knox Manage Cloud Connector (SCC) creates a secure channel for data transfers between the client’s enterprise system and the Knox Manage cloud server. It allows you to connect the user information in the client’s Active Directory/LDAP server and the certificate information in the CA server with the user’s device, and thus use them safely.

SCC is configured as follows:

Knox Manage server

It is installed on the cloud and communicates with a user’s device to provide the Knox Manage services. You can establish servers separately per tenant.

Connector

The Knox Manage server provides the LDAP and CA connectors to connect to the client’s LDAP and CA servers. You can conduct a connection test when configuring LDAP and CA in the Admin Portal.

SCC

• SCC provides a secure channel between the client’s enterprise system and the Knox Manage cloud server.
• SCC consists of the SCC client, SCC server, and Control Service Server.
• The SCC Client is installed on the client’s site and makes a secure Transport Layer Security (TLS) channel with the SCC server.
• The SCC Server is installed on the cloud. It sends the requests from the Knox Manage server to the SCC client, and delivers the responses from the SCC client to the Knox Manage server.
• The SCC Control Service Server (CS server) is installed on the cloud and automatically assigns a port number to be used for LDAP and CA service.

L4 Switch

The L4 Switch equally distributes the requests from the SCC client.

DB

DB saves the information of the LDAP and CA service of the tenant and the IP/Port information of the SCC server.

Linked system

This refers to the client’s LDAP and CA servers to be linked with Knox Manage.
