The ibmanager program provides a communication interface on a socket in the form of ibprotocol. This is an unencrypted connection. The interface is set up on a TCP port defined in the configuration file (element <IbProtocol>). For communication purposes, the following commands are processed:

• set
• get
• get_all
• describe
• describe_all
• credentials

With this interface, it is possible to read and set process variables of logics, remote variables shared by remote servers, and other configuration variables.
