Technology Overview
Mac OS X Server
Weblogs can be easily published and syndicated using this intuitive interface.
Weblogs can be published and syndicated using HTML, RSS, RSS2, RDF, and Atom
protocols, allowing users to receive content in their desired format automatically.
With Open Directory authentication and access controls, Weblog Server ts into any
environment.
Security and authentication
To protect credit card information and business data transmitted during web trans-
actions, Mac OS X Server integrates OpenSSL with the Apache web server for strong
128-bit encryption. For intranet sites and collaborative publishing scenarios, it’s also
easy to set up realms to require user authentication, or to use Kerberos authentication
for single sign-on.
Enterprise Applications
Mac OS X Server is one of the easiest ways to develop and deploy robust, reliable
enterprise applications based on Sun’s Java 2 Platform. It comes with all the com-
ponents necessary to host J2EE applications, including JBoss, Apache Tomcat, and
Apache Axis. Together, these components enable enterprise application services such
as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Java Message Services (JMS), XML-based web services,
and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).
Mac OS X Server also supports the SOAP and WSDL Web Services standards for
exchanging data among distributed applications. Increasingly popular for business-
to-business transactions, these transport protocols provide the integration essential
in sophisticated, multitiered applications.
The J2EE architecture
The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standard de nes a modular architecture
for building secure and interoperable enterprise applications. Using a standards-based
framework, these enterprise-grade Java server applications can deliver advanced
features such as automatic data persistence, secure transactions, database connectivity,
and dynamically generated web pages. Applications originating from another system
(or even another application server) that adhere to the J2EE 1.3 or J2EE 1.4 standard
can also usually be hosted on Mac OS X Server.
