The manner in which the library server, resource manager and Content Manager Enterprise Edition client communicates is sometimes referred to as a "triangle". When the system is installed and functioning, the client application accesses the library server through an SQL request (which is one of the following: create, retrieve, update or delete function). The library server, which contains metadata (or data about all the data in the system), processes the request by looking in its content index for where the data is. The library server then gives the client a security token and a locator within the resource manager where the information can be found. The information is then returned to the client, which then uses the security token and locator to access the resource manager. The resource manager accepts the security token and returns the information to the client through HTTP.
