Objectives of OpenWSMAN
Openwsman is an open-source implementation of the WSManagement specification, a protocol, based on Web Services, for the management of servers, devices, applications and more.
Openwsman enables users to develop and enable applications on Linux with WS-Management support (Through Openwsman or others).
Openwsman leverages existing standards like CIM to provide a consistent management interface across hardware platforms and operating systems.
• Provide an implementation of the core (MUST) requirements of the WS-Management specification in addition to a defined set of optional requirements (SHOULD).
• Conform to the WS-Management specification.
• Provide WS-Management service and client based solutions.
• Targets host and embedded environments.
• Leverage open-source libraries (libxml2, SFCC, curl).
• CIMOM agnostic (CIMXML support).
