The goal of the following document is to explain how to improve the Linux Access Gateway server performance and stability by including all attributes referenced by protected resource policies in a SAML assertion sent at authentication time.

In large production environments, it is commonplace to overload the Access Gateway to the point where utilization and server performance are negatively impacted. This document describes how attribute maps and SAML assertions can be used to significantly reduce traffic between Novell Access Manager Identity Servers and Access Gateways.

By understanding and taking advantage of some enhancements to Access Manager beginning with the release of 3.1 Support Pack 1 Interim Release 2, a lot of unnecessary work can be offloaded from the Access Gateway, improving performance, stability and the user experience.

Have you ever been coding Java and suddenly wanted to do something using loosely-typed variables or worked out an issue with a little less Java-ness? Have you ever wanted to take advantage of the familiarity people have with some languages (ECMAScript/JavaScript) while still using something that is not a web browser as an environment? Have you ever wanted to debug your JavaScript without refreshing a web page and your cache that just won't seem to ever refresh properly for you? This and more will be covered today with practical examples in both the Novell Identity Manager (IDM) and Novell Sentinel applications plus any other Java-based applications that you may have around your own environment.

This Nagios check program allows you to monitor several values of NSS volumes.

This tool is used to set the directory quotas on a NSS directory.

When I ordered my Thinkpad laptop I specified the best video card that was available thinking that it would be the best choice with SLED or OpenSuSE. That turned out to be a bad idea until now.

Do you ever find yourself running a command, pressing the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow.... this is a great exercise that will get your fingers used to typing random odd key sequences without your eyes paying attention, but otherwise it's a complete waste of time. A command I have come to love helps me point my OCD tendencies to other pointless tasks while running commands over and over for me. Introducing 'watch', because Linux Just Does That.
