Solaris 10 Security Eliminating Web Page Hijacking This How to Guide instructs Solaris system administrators and security professionals in the process of securing common Web servers. By the end of the guide, an example configuration will be created that allows Web content to be maintained securely by content owners, while the Web server itself will run with a minimized set of privileges in its own secured Container. Administrators are guided step-by-step through the process and at the end of the guide should be able to: * Create a basic Solaris Container for hosting applications * Configure the Apache2 Web server to run in a Solaris Container * Use User and Process Rights Management to reduce application privileges * Use the Solaris Service Manager to reduce security risk of a Container * Share data securely between two Containers This guide is not exhaustive and will not cover all optional features of these technologies. However, the reference sect

How to Configure and Run PostgreSQL on Solaris 10 The PostgreSQL How to Guide instructs Solaris system administrators and database professionals in the process of configuring and running PostgreSQL on a Solaris 10 system. This guide covers launching and setting up the PostgreSQL database using the Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF), and configuring PostgreSQL to run in a Solaris Container technology called Solaris Zones. The user will then be able to verify and test the PostgreSQL data base. This guide assumes that the release of Solaris being used is the Solaris 10 6/06 operating system or later. Starting with Solaris 10 6/06, PostgreSQL has been integrated with the operating system and can be installed with Solaris. If an earlier version of Solaris 10 (e.g. Solaris 10 1/06 or Solaris 10 3/05 ) is used, PostgreSQL must be installed on the system. Instructions on finding the packages and how to perform the install are included at the end of this guide. This guide is not

Managing ZFS in Solaris 10 Containers This guide is intended to show a new user the capabilities of ZFS when coupled with Solaris Containers. It describes the assignment of a ZFS file system to a zone, and some of the ZFS administrative tasks possible in such a configuration. Assigning a file system to a zone gives a zone administrator full delegated control of the ZFS file system, enabling them to take snapshots, create sub file systems and perform other tasks without requiring the global zone administrator's intervention. After reading this guide, the user will have an understanding of how to delegate a ZFS file system to a container and to manage it from within the container.
