Enterprise Server
Enterprise Server Features
Enterprise Server is primarily designed to provide access to your business HTML
files. In addition, it offers the following features:
•
Enterprise-wide manageability—Including delegated administration, cluster
management, and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) support.
LDAP integration with Directory Server enables you to store users and groups
in a centralized directory. In addition, you can monitor your server in real-time
by using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a protocol
used to exchange data about network activity.
Note that in order to add users and groups to Enterprise Server, you must have
a directory server installed, such as Directory Server. See the Netscape Enterprise
Server Installation and Migration Guide for more information.
•
Security—Users can establish encrypted and authenticated transactions
between clients and the server through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0
protocol. In addition, Enterprise Server employs the following security-based
standards: Public Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #11, which defines the
interface used for communication between SSL and PKCS #11 modules;
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-140; and special certificates
that work with 56, 128, or 168 bits, depending on the capability of the client.
•
Access control—You can protect confidential files or directories by
implementing access control (viewing or editing) by user name, password,
domain name, IP address, and user certificates. This feature also represents
another aspect of the NSAPI Content Management plug-in, which enables an
end user (the owner of a document) to set access control on a document, rather
than having to ask the administrator to accomplish the task.
•
High performance—Delivers high performance for dynamic and secure
content with features such as HTTP1.1, multi-threading, and support for SSL
hardware accelerators.
•
Standards-based—Enterprise Server includes support for a wide range of web
software standards, including: JDK 1.2; Servlet 2.3; JavaServer Pages™ 1.2;
HTTP 1.1; and various security-based standards, including PKCS #11,
FIPS-140, and 168-bit step-up certificates.
•
Server-side Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages support—enables
development of dynamic content, presentation logic, and JDBC database
access.
•
Additional features—Support for multiple processes and process monitors,
failover, automatic recovery, and dynamic log rotation.
