Distributed Security and High Availability with Tivoli Access Manager and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

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
