A new series is now available in the Manta iSeries Training Library, Implementing Single Sign-On.
"Single sign-on" is the ability to access multiple computer systems within an organization after signing on only once. This course will show you how to implement a single sign-on for a network containing systems running both Windows and i5/OS.
The course begins with a definition of the single sign-on problem, and why solutions such as using the same ID and password on all systems have failed. It then describes in detail the two tools used to implement single sign-on in the i5 environment: the Kerberos protocol and Enterprise Identify Mapping (EIM).
After the concepts and operation of Kerberos and EIM have been covered, the course goes into the details of setting up Kerberos and EIM on a System i5. While wizards are available to help you perform these tasks, a thorough understanding of the process will help you avoid potential pitfalls.
The course ends by showing you how to enable Kerberos authentication for common PC-to-i5 applications, including iSeries Navigator, iSeries Access, and NetServer. Common problems are also discussed.
Implementing Single Sign-On takes approximately 2 hours to complete. The price for a single-user license is $179 for CD delivery or $110 for Internet delivery. A companion Student Reference Guide is available for an additional $20.
This series is available automatically to customers who have purchased the entire iSeries Training Library, either for CD delivery with the optional maintenance plan or for MantaNow delivery. It is also available to MantaNow users of the System Administration Combination Pack and the System Administration and Operations Super Combination Pack.
