Abstract

What do you think of when someone mentions z/OS security? Probably of something that is trustworthy, or even impenetrable. Perhaps you also think of something that is a little complex and challenging to administer.

What comes to mind when someone mentions Internet security? Perhaps you think of prominent Web sites that have been maliciously "hacked" or credit card numbers that have been stolen.

Using working examples of code and configuration files, in this IBM Redbooks publication, we explain how you can run your Web-enabled applications with as high a level of security as other z/OS applications and subsystems, even if those applications were written or originally deployed on another platform, by using the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) programming model and IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390.

This book will help architects, application programmers, WebSphere and security administrators, and application and network architects to understand and use these products.
