Welcome to the Corda Enterprise Network Manager
The Corda Enterprise Network Manager (CENM) is a commercial offering from R3 that facilitates the operation of a bespoke Corda network that gives the user full control over all aspects of deployment, operation, and consensus rules. This is provided as an alternative to using the service-level-managed production components that are otherwise available from Corda Network, which is governed by the independent Corda Network Foundation.
- For all Corda Enterprise Network Manager release notes, see the Corda Enterprise Network Manager release notes page.
- For the latest Corda Enterprise release notes, see the Corda Enterprise 4.8 release notes page. You can view release notes for previous versions of Corda Enterprise in the relevant documentation section for each version, accessible from the left-hand side menu.
- For all Corda open source release notes, see the Corda release notes page.
The Corda Enterprise Network Manager provides the following services:
- Identity Manager Service Enables nodes to join the network, and handles revocation of a node certificate.
- Network Map Service Provides a global view of the network.
- Signing Service Provides a way to sign approved requests to join the network (Certificate Signing Requests - CSRs) or revoke a certificate (Certificate Revocation Requests - CRRs), as well as changes to the network map.
- Auth Service The user authentication and authorisation service. Stores and controls secure user-access to network services.
- Gateway Service Provides a transfer layer between front-end Corda Enterprise Network Manager (CENM) interfaces, and the Auth Service that underpins authentication and authorisation in CENM.
- Zone Service A central store of configuration for other CENM services for one or more zones, and optionally for their Sub Zones. Stores relevant configurations for the Identity Manager Service, the Network Map Service, and the Signing Service.
- Angel Service An adapter, which manages the lifecycle of other services such as the Network Map Service or the Identity Manager Service, to make them more compatible with packaging tools such as Docker.
