Using IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager to deploy composite virtual appliances

Deploying a real world distributed software solution can be complex and challenging. Typically, the software stack in each machine is composed of multiple software layers and the deployment is distributed over a cluster of machines, making software installation and configuration time consuming and potentially error-prone. Using IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager with virtual appliances can vastly simplify this deployment process. This article describes how, with an IBM WebSphere Application Server example that could have you create and capture a composite virtual appliance, customize, package, and deploy the solution in less than ten minutes.

Integrating CAPTCHA authentication technologies with WebSEAL

CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a popular mechanism used in Web sites to ensure humans only are interacting with the security functions of the Web site. CAPTCHA does this by producing images that include embedded numbers and letters that are not easily interpreted by automation tools. This article provides a solution and reference implementation of how to integrate CAPTCHA with IBM Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) WebSEAL.

Utilizing IBM Directory Server proxy authorization (impersonation) within Web applications

Web applications providing gateway access to LDAP services, such as
an enterprise-wide phone and mail directory, are usually
designed to authenticate using an LDAP "superuser" account.

As a result, the user reads and updates the directory according
to the rights of that high-privileged account
instead of his/her own LDAP privileges.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server offers a powerful
feature, known as proxied authorization (RFC 4370),
which enables programmers to write applications
that authenticates themselves using a specific account but operates
on behalf of the real user, thus delegating all
privilege enforcements to the LDAP server.
