Single Sign-On Solutions for IBM FileNet P8
this IBM Redbooks publication we present an overview of the set of authentication options in the IBM FileNet P8 4.5 release.
The two standards at the core of the authentication process in IBM FileNet P8 4.0 are the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) standard and the Web Services Security standard (WS-Security). The JAAS standard forms the framework for security interoperability in the J2EE world, while the WS-Security standard forms the framework for security interoperability in the heterogeneous world of clients and servers that communicate through Web services interfaces. IBM FileNet customers rely on a variety of authentication technologies to secure their corporate intranets. By implementing and adhering to these two standards, IBM FileNet P8 4.0 enables a wide range of authentication integrations.
This book is a valuable resource for security officers, access management administrators, and architects who wish to better understand single sign-on options for the IBM FileNet P8 4.0 solution.

Using Integrated Data Management To Meet Service Level Objectives
We learn how The Great Outdoor Company, a fictional retailer of outdoor products, uses Integrated Data Management solutions by IBM to optimize data management for performance, productivity, and manageability, allowing them to get the most from their data assets and to ensure they can meet service level objectives (SLOs).
We discuss how organizational and infrastructure complexities can negatively affect overall performance and productivity and how an integrated data management approach can help bridge these silos and gaps to provide end-to-end data and data application life cycle support. To illustrate, we focus on how to optimize an enterprise Java application using the Optim Development Studio (formerly Data Studio Developer) and pureQuery Runtime to improve performance, manageability, and security.
We discuss the practical aspects of managing the deployment and maintenance of pureQuery applications. Because an integrated data management approach extends to the problem solving aspect of the data life cycle, we also discuss how DB2 Performance Expert, DB2 Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature (PE/EI), and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) can help you pinpoint problems in complex application environments.

DB2 9 for z/OS: Packages Revisited
We begin with an overview of packages and explain the advantages of using packages.
Because database request module (DBRM) based plans have been deprecated in DB2 9, you need to convert to packages if you did not use packages already. We provide guidance on using a DB2 provided function to convert from DBRM-based plans to packages.
We re-examine the application development frameworks for packages: program preparation, package setup, and execution. For distributed applications, we include a discussion of a utility to identify and remove deprecated private protocol and converting to DRDA® as well as an introduction to the new pureQuery function of Data Studio. We also discuss common problems and their resolutions.
We then explore administration and operational activities dealing with packages, including security, access path management (where we discuss the newly introduced package stability feature to allow for a seamless fallback), and management and performance aspects.
The appendixes include useful queries and mention tools for managing packages effectively.

Integrating JPA and pureQuery: Leveraging DB2 static execution for the Java Persistence API
IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 delivers an enhancement to its
implementation of the Java Persistence API (JPA) to enable optimization of data
access to DB2 data servers for enhanced security, and the potential to
significantly reduce overhead for data access. The optimization is achieved by
using a built-in integration between the WebSphere JPA and IBM Data Studio
pureQuery Runtime to enable static SQL access -- all without changing
application code or running extensive test cases. This article uses a sample JPA application and takes you through the steps of enabling static SQL using the JPA/pureQuery integration. It also includes the optional follow-on step of using pureQuery client optimization to capture additional queries during run time.

Create secure Java applications productively, Part 2
This is the second in a two-part tutorial series on creating secure
Java-based Web applications using Rational Application Developer, Data Studio
and Rational AppScan. In Part 1 you developed a Java Web application with Rational Application Developer, and
then deployed the application on WebSphere Application Server with Java Server Pages
(JSP). This tutorial shows you how to scan the Wealth application created
in Part 1 using Rational AppScan to discover and fix all known Web security
vulnerabilities. It also shows how to re-scan your application and generate reports.

including ease of password maintenance, the ability to share user mappings
across different WebSphere Federation Server instances, and enhanced security. This tutorial provides
a step-by-step guide to develop a custom Java plug-in for WebSphere Federation Server to retrieve user
mappings from Microsoft Active Directory (AD).

Use Technology Explorer for IBM DB2 to manage user and group
authentication for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Learn how to use the Technology Explorer (TE) for IBM DB2(R) to control
user and group authentication to DB2 through the use of a security plug-in
called db2auth. The plug-in uses a DB2 database for storing authentication
information instead of an external authentication repository, such as an
operating system or Kerberos. The plug-in allows for a smoother migration from other
database software such as MySQL, which also stores authentication information
within the database. This article also describes how the support in TE for the
db2auth plug-in was implemented. [2009 Nov 13: Updated to show Linux support.

Two ways to build Apache Derby database applications in JRuby
JRuby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language that runs in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This tutorial demonstrates how to install and configure JRuby to connect to the Apache Derby database. As Ruby and Ruby on Rails become more popular, JRuby becomes an interesting technology to leverage the portability, security, and class libraries of the JVM while using Ruby features like simple syntax and closures. If you're writing a small application that needs a relational database, or you want to be able to ship a database with your product, then the Derby database is an excellent choice for a persistence mechanism. This tutorial shows you two methods of connecting to and building Derby database applications from JRuby.

U2 encryption in an open technology world
If you have valuable, sensitive, or confidential data, and the data can be accessed or seen by unauthorized people, then data encryption is a must. The extended BASIC APIs of IBM UniData and UniVerse (U2) perform symmetric encryption operations on data using various available ciphers. The heart of the U2 encryption function is the OpenSSL library. Walk through the four worlds of encryption covering C#, Java, U2 BASIC, and OpenSSL shell scripting and see that encryption of data produced is interchangeable amongst them.
