An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This IBM Redbook explains how to exploit the enhanced security features of PSSP 3.2. It walks you through installing, configuring, administering, and troubleshooting security technologies ranging from standard AIX, Kerberos 4, and DCE/Kerberos 5 to Restricted Root Access and beyond.

The PSSP security services were designed and implemented to minimize the complexities often associated with security features, especially during their installation and configuration phases. Given the nature of security, and considering its pervasiveness and global scope, it is critical to get it right. To that end, this redbook provides extensive coverage of problem determination and troubleshooting techniques to help you ensure that your implementation is sound.

In addition to the new PSSP 3.2 security features, this redbook discusses additional tools and techniques with which to enhance the security of your SP environment.
