All subsequent connections from that client are processed by this dedicated uniengd process (on Persistent TCP/IP) . For web client’s, Web Server keeps a pool of persistent connections on startup.

UNILCKD: Calendar Lock Manager Daemon – This process grants read/write access on local node to client’s UNIENGD process.
