A<br />

unified<br />

Web<br />

space<br />

simplifies<br />

the<br />

management<br />

of<br />

all<br />

resources<br />

<strong>for</strong><br />

the<br />

system<br />

administrator.<br />

Additional<br />

administrative<br />

benefits<br />

include<br />

scalability,<br />

load<br />

balancing,<br />

and<br />

high<br />

availability.<br />

Most<br />

commercial<br />

Web<br />

servers<br />

do<br />

not<br />

have<br />

the<br />

ability<br />

to<br />

define<br />

a<br />

logical<br />

Web<br />

object<br />

space.<br />

Instead,<br />

their<br />

access<br />

control<br />

is<br />

connected<br />

to<br />

the<br />

physical<br />

file<br />

and<br />

directory<br />

structure.<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

junctions<br />

can<br />

transparently<br />

define<br />

an<br />

object<br />

space<br />

that<br />

reflects<br />

organizational<br />

structure<br />

rather<br />

than<br />

the<br />

physical<br />

machine<br />

and<br />

directory<br />

structure<br />

commonly<br />

encountered<br />

on<br />

standard<br />

Web<br />

servers.<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

junctions<br />

also<br />

allow<br />

you<br />

to<br />

create<br />

single<br />

sign-on<br />

solutions.<br />

A<br />

single<br />

sign-on<br />

configuration<br />

allows<br />

a<br />

user<br />

to<br />

access<br />

a<br />

resource,<br />

regardless<br />

of<br />

the<br />

resource’s<br />

location,<br />

using<br />

only<br />

one<br />

initial<br />

login.<br />

Any<br />

further<br />

login<br />

requirements<br />

from<br />

back-end<br />

servers<br />

are<br />

handled<br />

transparently<br />

to<br />

the<br />

user.<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

junctions<br />

are<br />

an<br />

important<br />

tool<br />

<strong>for</strong><br />

making<br />

your<br />

Web<br />

site<br />

scalable.<br />

Junctions<br />

allow<br />

you<br />

to<br />

respond<br />

to<br />

increasing<br />

demands<br />

on<br />

a<br />

Web<br />

site<br />

by<br />

attaching<br />

additional<br />

servers.<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

junctions<br />

and<br />

Web<br />

site<br />

scalability<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

junctions<br />

are<br />

used<br />

to<br />

create<br />

a<br />

scalable<br />

Web<br />

site.<br />

As<br />

the<br />

demands<br />

on<br />

the<br />

Web<br />

site<br />

grow,<br />

more<br />

servers<br />

can<br />

easily<br />

be<br />

added<br />

to<br />

expand<br />

the<br />

capabilities<br />

of<br />

the<br />

site.<br />

Additional<br />

servers<br />

can<br />

be<br />

added<br />
