Preface

Securing Oracle Coherence explains key security concepts and provides instructions for implementing various levels of security for Oracle Coherence clusters, Oracle Coherence REST, and Oracle Coherence*Extend clients.

Audience

This guide is intended for the following audiences:

• Primary Audience – Application developers and operators who want to secure an Oracle Coherence cluster and secure Oracle Coherence*Extend client communication with the cluster

• Secondary Audience – System architects who want to understand the options and architecture for securing an Oracle Coherence cluster and Oracle Coherence*Extend clients

The audience must be familiar with Oracle Coherence, Oracle Coherence REST, and Oracle Coherence*Extend to use this guide effectively. In addition, users must be familiar with Java and Secure Socket Layer (SSL). The examples in this guide require the installation and use of the Oracle Coherence product, including Oracle Coherence*Extend. The use of an integrated development environment (IDE) is not required, but it is recommended to facilitate working through the examples.
