The MX-ONE Service Node Manager is a software component running on the MX-ONE. It is based on the JBoss Application Server and is implemented as a Web-based management tool.

MX-ONE Provisioning Manager or Linux user accounts are used for logging in to the MX-ONE Service Node Manager. Which type of user to use for the MX-ONE Service Node Manager log-in is defined by the authentication method.

If the MX-ONE Provisioning Manager is used for authentication, the MX-ONE Provisioning Manager user database is used for authenticating user log-in to the MX-ONE Service Node Manager. If Linux is used for authentication, standard Linux procedures are used for the authentication. Which authentication method to use for SNM is set during installation, when running the MX-ONE Maintenance Utility, option Web server config.

The MX-ONE Service Node Manager supports both HTTP and HTTPS signaling and can be accessed from anywhere, using an ordinary web browser. For HTTPS, it is possible to use either a self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by a commercial Certification Authority (CA).
