Abstract
A method includes extending an interface, to a device outside a firewall, for requesting a service performed by a device inside the firewall. The interface is extended using a software component, executing outside the firewall, which executes a separate interface to accept requests for services from devices outside the firewall. The separate interface, exposed outside the firewall, is configured for accepting a subset of the services available inside the firewall.
