Proxy Service (psproxy)

The Proxy service (psproxy) enables the Bravura Security Fabric proxy server on which it is installed to execute agents and exit trap programs on behalf of other Bravura Security Fabric servers.

The service also periodically receives updates (agents, exit programs, configuration data) from the Bravura Security Fabric server.

See also:

  • The updproxy program, installed on the Bravura Security Fabric server, pushes updates to the Proxy Service.

  • The psproxycmd program, installed on the Bravura Security Fabric server, can communicate with and run commands through the Proxy Service.

The service is automatically installed and started on Bravura Security Fabric proxy servers during setup. The psproxy program is also located in the service directory on the main Bravura Security Fabric server; however, it is not installed as a Windows service.
