About OpenVAS Manager
---------------------

The OpenVAS Manager is the central management service between security scanners
and the user clients.

It manages the storage of any vulnerability management configurations and of the
scan results. Access to data, control commands and workflows is offered via the
XML-based OpenVAS Management Protocol (OMP). The primary scanner 'OpenVAS Scanner'
is controlled directly via OTP protocol while any other remote scanner is coupled
with the OSP protocol.
