This IBM® Redbooks® publication is part of the IBM WebSphere® V6.1 series. It focuses on security and related topics, as well as provides technical details for designing and implementing secure solutions with WebSphere. Designed for IT architects, IT specialists, application designers, application developers, application assemblers, application deployers, and consultants, this book provides information about designing, developing, and deploying secure e-business applications using IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1. It discusses theory and presents proven exercises performed in our lab by using sample applications. Part 1 discusses security for the application server and its components, including enterprise applications. It focuses on administrative security and application security, which were previously known as global security. It includes essential information about how to secure Web and Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) applications and how to develop a Java™ client using security. Part 2 introduces additional components from the enterprise environment and discusses security beyond the application server. External components include third-party security servers, messaging clients and servers, and database servers. Part 3 provides a short introduction to development environment security. It includes guidelines and best practices that are applicable to a secure development environment.

Implementing a WebSphere Application Server environment on z/OS and deploying applications to it in a manner that delivers the best performance is not a trivial task. There are many parameters that can be influenced and applications can be written in many different ways. This IBM Redbooks publication will give you a structure you can use to set up an environment that is tuned to meet best performance and at the same can be monitored to catch eventual performance bottlenecks. We also pay attention to workload testing using a variety of tools and best practices in writing and deploying applications.

This IBM Redbook gives a broad understanding of IBM WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 , explaining the functions and features while helping you to design and create a solution for your own environment. The following techniques are explained in this book: - Using WebSphere Extended Deployment dynamic operations. - Distributing workload with the On Demand Router. - Using visualization options to display information about the environment. - Using WebSphere Partitioning Facility to achieve high-performance. - Using ObjectGrid in IBM WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 . - Adding non-WebSphere Extended Deployment servers to your topology. - Configuring a highly available Deployment Manager. - Using repository checkpoint/restore to save and restore your configurations. - Using Application Edition Manager to install and support application versions. This book also provides step-by-step instructions for implementing a sample, multiple-machine environment. We use this environment to illustrate most of the IBM WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 features.

IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6 is a complex product made up of many components. This IBM Redbook focuses on the problems that you can experience with WebSphere for z/OS. It is intended for system programmers and administrators who need to identify, analyze, and fix problems efficiently so that they can deliver good support for the WebSphere environment. In Part 1, we provide an overview of problem determination methodology, what skills you need, where to find information about related topics, and how to communicate with IBM when a problem occurs. In Part 2, we describe the most common problem symptoms. Flow charts guide you through the problem analysis process step by step. Individual tasks and questions help you filter out irrelevant facts and find the problem area, so that you can identify the type, source, cause, and possibly a solution. In Part 3, we identify possible problem areas and arrange them into four phases that correspond with WebSphere for z/OS life cycle stages. We explain how to analyze the problems and provide valuable hints and tips for avoiding them. In Part 4, we provide means and tools for problem determination such as commands, logs, dumps, traces, and diagnostic tools. We describe other tools that can ease the day-to-day tasks and prevent problems. We also explain where to get these tools, show you how to use them, and provide examples.

This IBM Redbook (re)examines most connectivity scenarios between WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.01 and other application resources on z/OS and is an extension of and update on the WebSphere for z/OS V5 Connectivity Handbook, SG24-7064 . This book covers various connectivity scenarios from architecture, application development, and infrastructure points of view. New scenarios are introduced using WebSphere Default messaging, Web services, and SQLJ. We also updated all scenarios with the usage of Rational Application Developer Version 6. A brief summary of connectivity technology explained in this book is: -Database access using JDBC and SQLJ -JMS 1.1 and WebSphere Default messaging -Calling DB2 Stored Procedures using SOAP -Bi-directional Web services between WebSphere and CICS -J2C connectors to CICS and IMS -RMI-IIOP The technology is explained using sample code, available as additional material for this book.

IBM's next generation WebSphere Voice Server V5.1.1 and V5.1.2 products leverage the power of IBM WebSphere Application Server. It supports full open standards for grammar, lexicon, and Text to Speech markup development. It uses the Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) V1 Draft 4 for interoperability with a variety of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) companies. This IBM Redbook will help deploy voice-enabled applications using WebSphere Voice Server and it will give you a broad understanding of the WebSphere Voice Server architecture. It will also help you to plan, install, tailor, and configure your voice development environment on Microsoft Windows XP or 2000 Professional using WebSphere Studio Site Developer V5.1.2, and the Voice Toolkit for WebSphere Studio V5.1. This redbook also demonstrates the use of the VoiceXML markup language, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text to Speech (TTS), and the WebSphere Voice Server technologies through examples. A basic knowledge of VoiceXML development, voice-enabled application development using WebSphere Voice Server, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is assumed.

Integrating an IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cluster with IBM Tivoli Access Manager is challenging. Tailoring the business this way allows administrators to facilitate the best of both worlds, so they can focus WebSphere Application Server as a Java environment provider and Tivoli Access Manager as a security policy enforcer. This IBM Redbook gives you a broad understanding of how you can enforce security for IBM WebSphere Application Server on z/OS, by using IBM Tivoli Access Manager on a distributed platform. It explains how you can achieve security, scalability, and high availability by adding and further configuring resources to a computing environment. This IBM Redbook also demonstrates how to configure a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cluster functioning with Tivoli Access Manager. It exploits high availability scenarios that you can implement in your organization. This book uses the following components for high availability: WebSphere Edge Components Load Balancer for load balancing between security proxies and user registries Sysplex Distributor for Web servers Specific products are employed for their functions and strengths. And, basic products are configured to demonstrate their high availability characteristics.
