 How Server Executes Services?

• Authenticates Client
• Creates session if one doesn’t exist already
• Determines content-type of the service request to prepare data
• Uses service name to look up the service
• Determines if the access to the service is controlled based on port
on which the request came in.
• Looks for ACLs for the service, Using ACL, determines if the client
is to be granted access.
• Adds an entry in audit logs to mark the start of the request
• Starts gathering service statistics
• Ends the gathering of server statistics for the service

• Adds an entry in the audit logs to mark end of the service

• Encodes the results as specified in the content-type

• Returns the result

• For each service under a flow service, it repeats the same.

• Checks if the results for the service are cashed, if they are, server
returns the cashed results. If they are not, the server invokes
service. If the service is a flow service which contains several
services, it invokes each service in the flow
 What Is Server Administrator?

• The Server Administrator is an HTML-based utility used to configure

the way in which the server will send outbound requests, accept
inbound requests, expire sessions, and issue error messages.

• You can run the Server Administrator from any browser-equipped

workstation on your network.
