Despite the many obvious advantages of distributed applications and systems over centralized, heavyweight mainframe solutions, there are still some noteworthy considerations. User accounts and security management are two of the major concerns in such a heterogeneous environment. The IBM Global Sign-On for Multiplatforms, Version 2.0 product (hereinafter also called GSO) is a secure, distributed logon and password coordinator that helps administrators and users reduce this management burden.
This redbook will help you install, tailor and configure GSO. The redbook gives a broad understanding of the architecture, building blocks and the features provided by the product, and it discusses solutions to some typical scenarios that apply to most installations.
The first two chapters introduce GSO to readers who are not familiar with the product or who need to know the new features that come with Version 2.0. The chapters that follow explain the steps that are involved for exploitation of GSO, including planning, installation, customizing, and managing a production environment. Additional reference information is provided in the appendixes.
This book was written for technical consultants, designers and administrators involved in security planning and installations who need to know the concepts, technical architecture, and implementation of GSO.
