What's up IT?
Building Secure Sun Servers
Monday, 29 September 2003 09:23 ESTIn a distributed computer system, data is sent from one computer over a network to another computer. The data that is being sent across the network may be readable by unauthorized users. Data transmitted over the network is sensitive to privacy, authenticity, and point of origin attacks so it must be protected. The Sun Fire Link interconnect software is part of a distributed computer system, so it must be fortified against these attacks.
Deploying a secure distributed computer system can be difficult. This article describes how to install and deploy the Sun Fire Link product so that it can be securely managed and operated and documents the software architecture and the steps needed to secure the Sun Fire Link interconnect. The commands used in configuration steps are either Fire Link Manager (FM) or Solaris™ Operating Environment (Solaris OE) tools. This article requires a general knowledge of Solaris OE system administration and is written for advanced system administrators.
