Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and method of remotely communicating with a managed machine. One example method of operation may include selecting the managed machine operating in a communication network, transmitting a connection request message to the managed machine and establishing a secure connection between the managed machine and an administrator machine. The example method may also include responsive to connecting with the managed machine, executing a host service on the managed machine, and connecting to the host service over the communication network via an application client operating on the administrator machine.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- establishing a connection between a managed machine and an administrator machine;
- responsive to connecting with the managed machine, executing a host service on the managed machine;
- transmitting an application information request message to the host service identifying an application service operating on the managed machine;
- connecting to the host service via an application client operating on the administrator machine;
- establishing a command prompt on the administrator machine via an administrative service and receiving a command via the command prompt;
- transmitting the command to the managed machine and executing the command on the managed machine via the host service responsive to the command being received in the command prompt on the administrator machine;
- executing an application service binary corresponding to the application service, the application service binary being configured to process the application information request message;
- forwarding a connected socket to the application service, and waiting for a request from other application clients;
- and
- transmitting to the application client an application information acknowledgment message to complete an initialization procedure.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a transmitter configured to:
- establish a connection between a managed machine and an administrator machine;
- transmit an application information request message to a host service that identifies an application service that operates on the managed machine;
- wherein responsive to a connection with the managed machine, the processor is further configured to
- execute the host service on the managed machine, and connect to the host service via an application client that operates on the administrator machine;
- establish a command prompt on the administrator machine via an administrative service and receive a command via the command prompt;
- transmit the command to the managed machine and execute the command on the managed machine via the host service responsive to the command being received in the command prompt on the administrator machine;
- execute an application service binary corresponding to the application service, the application service binary being configured to process the application information request message;
- wherein the transmitter is further configured to forward a connected socket to the application service, and wait for a request from other application clients;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive at the application client, an application information acknowledgment message to complete an initialization procedure.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- establishing a connection between a managed machine and an administrator machine;
- responsive to connecting with the managed machine, executing a host service on the managed machine;
- transmitting an application information request message to the host service identifying an application service operating on the managed machine;
- connecting to the host service over the communication network via an application client operating on the administrator machine;
- establishing a command prompt on the administrator machine via an administrative service and receiving a command via the command prompt;
- transmitting the command to the managed machine and executing the command on the managed machine via the host service responsive to the command being received in the command prompt on the administrator machine;
- executing an application service binary corresponding to the application service, the application service binary being configured to process the application information request message;
- forwarding a connected socket to the application service, and waiting for a request from other application clients;
- and
- receiving at the application client, an application information acknowledgment message to complete an initialization procedure.
