Amazon.com Product Description
Mac OS X Server is a UNIX-based operating system designed for superior performance and reliability. This robust foundation provides advanced computing and networking capabilities such as preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing, and support for IPv6 and IPsec. Mac OS X Server features a server-optimized implementation of Java 2 and the latest in Web services and security standards. Cutting-edge remote-management tools allow you to securely manage and monitor your services from anywhere on the network, or even over the Internet.

Built on open standards, Mac OS X Server is a model citizen in a multiplatform world. It uses native protocols to enable Mac, Windows, and UNIX clients to share files and printers. Apple’s new Open Directory architecture offers centralized management of network resources using LDAPv3 directory services. Mac OS X Server also supports NFS resharing over AFP, giving Mac clients easy access to enterprise storage with improved security.

Mac OS X Server 10.2 features revolutionary new tools that simplify the administration and support of Mac OS X systems. Workgroup Manager provides directory-based management of users, groups, and computers, allowing you to manage organizational resources more efficiently. You can set user and group preferences, control access to network resources, and standardize desktop environments. Workgroup Manager works with any LDAPv3 directory server, enabling you to leverage your existing network infrastructure.

Securing Web Services with WS-Security: Demystifying WS-Security, WS-Policy, SAML, XML Signature, and XML Encryption

May 1, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
You know how to build Web service applications using XML, SOAP, and WSDL, but can you ensure that those applications are secure? Standards development groups such as OASIS and W3C have released several specifications designed to provide security – but how do you combine them in working applications?

“Securing Web Services with WS-Security” will help you take your Web services securely to production, with insight into the latest security standards including

- WS-Security, a model that defines how to put security specifications into practice
- XML Encryption to ensure confidentiality
- XML Signature to ensure data integrity
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to authenticate and authorize users
- WS-Policy to set policies across trust domains

Jothy Rosenberg and David Remy, both business, technology, and security visionaries, demystify these standards with practical examples including a fully developed case study application showing these tools at work. A pragmatic approach is taken showing which Web Services Security standards are needed when faced with a variety of security challenges. The authors understand that security remains one of the largest remaining impediments to deploying major Web services in business-critical situations. The goal of this book is to begin to remove those impediments by providing a detailed understanding of all the available security technologies and how and when to employ them.
