based standards: Public Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #11, which
defines the interface used for communication between SSL and PKCS #11
modules; Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-140; and special
certificates that work with 40, 56, or 128 bits, depending on the capability of
the client.
• Access control —You can protect confidential files or directories by
implementing access control (viewing, editing, and version control) by
username, password, domain name, or IP address. This feature also
represents another aspect of the NSAPI Content Management plug-in, which
enables an end user (the owner of a document) to set access control on a
document, rather than having to ask the administrator to accomplish the
task.
• High performance —Delivers high performance for dynamic and secure
content with features such as HTTP1.1, multi-threading, and support for SSL
hardware accelerators.
• Standards-based —Enterprise Server includes support for a wide range of
web software standards, including: JDK 1.1.6/7 (2.0 on Solaris & NT);
Servlets 2.1; JavaServer Pages .92; HTTP 1.1; and various security-based
standards, including PKCS #11, FIPS-140, and 128-bit step-up certificates.
• Server-side Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages support —enables
development of server plugins, dynamic content, presentation logic, and
JDBC database access.
• Server-side JavaScript support —enables development of scripting
applications that access the database using native drivers.
• Additional features —Support for multiple processes and process
monitors, failover, automatic recovery, and dynamic log rotation.
