Novell® ZENworks® for Servers (ZfS) automatically uses XMLRPC (Extensible Markup Language Remote Procedure Call) for inter-server communications for Policy and Distribution Services. XMLRPC optionally provides security for inter-server communications across non-secured connections.
This section documents how to install and set up this additional security. For more information and to determine whether you need XMLRPC security, see "Security for Inter-Server Communication Across Non-Secured Connections" under "Security in Policy and Distribution Services" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Administration guide.

For more information, see "Installing NICI 2.4" under "Setting Up Additional Distribution Security" in "Configuring Your Distribution System" in "Configuring Policy and Distribution Services" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Administration guide.
