Session management server: Session transitions and state

The session management server (SMS) is a new component of Tivoli® Access Manager for e-business (TAMeb), version 6.0. The SMS provides a broad range of capabilities that change the way Tivoli Access Manager Web security servers (WebSEAL or Web server plug-ins) handle Web-based browser sessions. This paper is to educate you about a session's lifecycle within the SMS by using real-life use cases. You will gain an understanding of what communication takes place between the different products in relation to SMS. This knowledge will give you the confidence to troubleshoot an environment that contains SMS, if problem determination is required.

Symptomatic event visualizer, Part 1: Challenges in data collection

This four-part series is a comprehensive usage guide that gives you an
overview of the Log and Trace Analyzer for Java Desktop, instructs you in the
installation process and teaches you to configure the tool correctly. The series
includes performance-enhancing tips, integration and hands-on scenarios, as well as
data on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 Events Tool. Discover how your data can be more consumable from start to finish and learn how to
reduce your problem determination and maintenance costs. In part one, identify the challenges in data
collection and see how a common event format and a symptom repository help address
those challenges.

Effective policy design for large deployments of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating System

Effective policy design is critical for large deployments of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating Systems. A large deployment can involve hundreds or thousands of UNIX and Linux systems, each with many resources to secure. This can result in a large and complex set of policy definitions in the IBM Tivoli Access Manager policy database, which has implications on network load, maintenance overhead, and the IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating Systems performance. This document looks at the issues and identifies approaches to improve the policy.

Command line adapter for Tivoli Identity Manager

When using IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (ITIM) adapters, it often becomes necessary to execute an auxiliary function that is not provided ”ready to use” by the adapter. For example, when
provisioning an Active Directory (AD) account, there might be a need to create a default set of folders and files in the user's home directory. This paper discusses developing a custom ITIM adapter that allows these auxiliary functions to be implemented using shell commands. The paper also discusses the advantages of running this custom adapter over the use of postexec and preexec functions. It is assumed that the audience of this article is familiar with ITIM and Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI).

High-availability middleware on Linux, Part 5: High availability of Policy Server using High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing v5.3

The purpose of this article is to summarize the concept and importance of the high availability of Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) policy server. The article also explains the different possible scenarios of configuration using IBM AIX High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP) v5.3, the comparison of different choices and step-by-step description of one such scenario , namely IP-address takeover via IP-replacement methodology. The article assumes preliminary knowledge of Tivoli Access Manager for e-business.
