The goal of the following document is to explain how to improve the Linux Access Gateway server performance and stability by including all attributes referenced by protected resource policies in a SAML assertion sent at authentication time.

In large production environments, it is commonplace to overload the Access Gateway to the point where utilization and server performance are negatively impacted. This document describes how attribute maps and SAML assertions can be used to significantly reduce traffic between Novell Access Manager Identity Servers and Access Gateways.

By understanding and taking advantage of some enhancements to Access Manager beginning with the release of 3.1 Support Pack 1 Interim Release 2, a lot of unnecessary work can be offloaded from the Access Gateway, improving performance, stability and the user experience.

Geoff Carman takes a look at some possible error codes that can occur for the SAP HR driver and explains how to fix them.

Base64-encoding data is found in places all over the IT world and in home users' systems as well. Being able to encode data in Java or ECMAScript/JavaScript can be valuable when those are the languages available to you. This sample shows how to convert from one format to another and eventually encode data for use within a directory like eDirectory.

Geoff Carman takes a look at some of the error codes he has had for the eDirectory driver for Identity Manager and explains what happened and how to fix them.

Have you ever been coding Java and suddenly wanted to do something using loosely-typed variables or worked out an issue with a little less Java-ness? Have you ever wanted to take advantage of the familiarity people have with some languages (ECMAScript/JavaScript) while still using something that is not a web browser as an environment? Have you ever wanted to debug your JavaScript without refreshing a web page and your cache that just won't seem to ever refresh properly for you? This and more will be covered today with practical examples in both the Novell Identity Manager (IDM) and Novell Sentinel applications plus any other Java-based applications that you may have around your own environment.
