The Securing WebSphere on z/OS training course focuses on security and security-related topics and provides technical details to design and implement secure solutions with WebSphere. It will provide information technology (IT) Architects, IT Specialists, application designers, application developers, application assemblers, application deployers, and consultants with information necessary to design, develop, and deploy secure e-business applications using IBM WebSphere Application Server.
By attending Securing WebSphere on z/OS workshop, delegates will learn to:
- Plan for the modification of the installation security configuration necessary to support J2EE application security
- Describe the security options available for WebSphere client authentication/identification, secure communications, and authorizing access to resources
- Describe what is involved in securing resources in a J2EE environment. Applications are often created, assembled, and deployed in different phases, by people in different roles
- Compare the various J2EE client authentication options including options usable across multiple platform types
- Assist developers by implementing infrastructure for the following J2EE authorization techniques
- EJB roles
- RunAs
- resauth
- Synch to OS thread
- Assist developers by implementing infrastructure for the following web client authentication options
- Basic authentication
- Forms-based authentication
- Client certificates
- Experience with the installation and customization of z/OS and its subsystems, including the Security Server (Resource Access Control Facility (RACF)), or equivalent product
- Experience with the administration of WebSphere on z/OS, including the usage of the admin console to deploy applications
This Securing WebSphere on z/OS class is intended for experienced z/OS system programmers responsible for securing the infrastructure of WAS, along with Information Technology (IT) professionals responsible for the secure deployment of EJB and Web applications into WAS on z/OS.
