What is the Manageability Interface that is documented in the SDK?
A128 The Manageability interface is an example of a programmatic interface that allows a vPro system to be powered on and unlocked by a separate management solution (or possibly scripting). Since many IT shops often have a different solution that manages the computers in their environment than the one that manages the encrypted hard drives (or potentially even multiple solutions that manage the computers in their environment), this gives a mechanism to the management solution to allow an unlock and manage blocks of systems (which is a common use case of vPro). The provided example shows a way to implement this functionality that is structured in a way that’s very close to how a management ISV implements vPro calls. Note that it is important to implement authentication on this interface, typically with either Digest or Kerberos authentication.
