I now CentOS is not supported. For several years i use CentOS without problemas with IBM Software. The information bellow is the list of packages to install on CentOS and run WebSphere Portal and Db2 on the same machine. This is a Lab machine it’s like a all in one box.

On my connections test server i installed everything in one machine. The home directory for db2inst1 user ends the file space. The databases and all containers are under the default of /home/db2inst1. So we can use db2relocatedb to move them.

Setup SSO with Windows Desktop is not so hard. But when things is not well documented you can get a big headake. A customer ask to implement this SSO. The environment was a WebSphere Portal V.8.0 cluster and the user repository was AD 2012.

Several versions of WebSphere Portar are vulnerable. IBM WebSphere Portal could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to restrict access to resources located within web applications. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain configuration data and other sensitive information.
