When the VAM host processor receives a request from the Inmarsat Remote
Management Platform via the TCP proxy that is targeted at the BRM in question, the
VAM host processor:
>
Connects to the BRM on port 443 on the Ethernet interface
>
Forwards the request with the HTTP authentication credentials (username and
password) supplied within the original request from the Inmarsat Remote
Management Platform
>
Receives the response from the BRM and sends it back using the original
connection to the Inmarsat remote management platform via the TCP proxy

When the VAM host processor receives a request from the Inmarsat Remote
Management Platform via the TCP proxy that is targeted for the VAM host processor,
the VAM host processor:
>
Connects to the BRM on port 443 on the Ethernet interface
>
Checks the validity of the HTTP authentication credentials (username and
password) supplied within the request from the Remote Management Platform
Note:
This could be achieved with the BRM’s RESTful
/v1/config GET
method
which responds with
401 Unauthorized
if the credentials do not match
the BRM’s user permissions records.
>
May check the requesting user’s permission records using the BRM’s RESTful
/config/permission/{userid} GET
method (using a stored VAM user
authentication credential with permission to access the permission records).
This will allow the VAM host processor to use the BRM’s user permissions API to
help control authorisation of its own command API
>
Sends its own response back using the original connection to the Inmarsat
Remote Management platform via the TCP proxy
>
proxy_forward_ip
and
proxy_forward_port
>
This is the IPv4 address and port (of the VAM host processor) on the Ethernet LAN to
which the TCP proxy will forward TCP connections and data from port 443 on the
admin PDP interface
