Focus on network security administration on an AIX 5L system. Learn how to implement several important mechanisms that can help secure a system that operates in an intranet or Internet environment. Topics include an overview of TCP/IP security considerations, use of tools for checking network security, methods for making a host less vulnerable to network-based attacks, user authorization (including use of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)), Network File System (NFS), Kerberos, the Secure Shell, and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).
Also, learn how to implement several Internet security mechanisms to enable a higher level of system integrity for systems that connect directly to the Internet or communicate through it.
