Sun Identity Management: I have been involved in the various architectural and development processes for this project. We are re-architecting to work around the DPS which has caused availability issues with the LDAP services.
F5 LTM Training: I attended the F5 LTM Essentials and F5 LTM Advanced training courses in Atlanta. This training was needed for our proposed load balancing solution for the Sun IDM project.
Web Application Scanning: In a coordinated effort with the Network Security tea, several hand selected websites on the main Vanderbilt web server were used as evaluation content for two web application scanners. These sites were selected because of suspicious log entries for requests to these sites. The scans involved a discovery phase, last minute database backup, an evaluation phase, and a reporting phase. In addition to evaluating the scanning productions, we were also able to pass the findings on to our customers so that they could fix their applications.
Proofpoint Upgrade: I was an unexpected participant in the Proofpoint upgrades. The upgrade script did not perform as expected, and exited before installing all of the upgraded packages. This left the servers in a state where the kernel did not match the modules. I got the servers online to a point where the vendor could resolve the issues for us.
