Connection from an AIS Connect agent to the AIS Connect server can be set up via a SOAP message that is
based on HTTPS. Access can only be initiated by an AIS Connect agent at the ETERNUS AF site of the
customer as illustrated by the diagram above. The AIS Connect server offers a certificate and the AIS Connect
agent verifies this certificate for every connection setup. All transferred data is protected against spy-out and
manipulation.
Events notified to the AIS Connect server are Error events and Warning events mostly. For details, refer to
