Chapter 3. A basic WebSEAL scenario

Our earlier discussion of Access Manager has been helpful in describing the

basic elements of architecture for deployment. At this point, we will apply those

guidelines to a simple Web scenario for an example organization with a typical

set of requirements.

In our discussion we will deliberately avoid certain issues, including availability

considerations and specific issues relating to application integration. These

areas are discussed in later chapters.

Also, while host machine configuration and capacity is touched on in this chapter,

we deliberately avoid providing much in the way of specifics. This is because

without appropriate capacity planning activities, which consider simulated/real

loads of the actual application, it can be difficult to make accurate

determinations.
