In addition to the WebSphere base installation, you can choose from
two types of C++ common object request broker architecture (CORBA) client
support, IBM WebSphere Application Server Enterprise, Version 5 or WebSphere
Application Server Client Version 5. If you plan to develop or rebuild your
own C++ client applications, then the Enterprise version is required. It installs
tools, libraries, and include files for the build environment in selecting
C++ CORBA client software development kit (SDK). Otherwise, a client installation
suffices to run your C++ client applications with security. In Version 5,
WebSphere Application Server supports the C++ CORBA client on the Windows
2000, Windows NT, Linux, and AIX operating systems and the Solaris operating
environment.
Secure Sockets Layer Version 2 (SSLV2) cipher suites are not
supported. In Version 5, only the most commonly used ciphers among Java Secure
Socket Extension (JSSE) and Global Security Kit (GSkit) are supported.
Since
the WebSphere Enterprise CORBA C++ Client has only implemented security on
the transport layer, other authentication mechanisms such as user ID and password
(Basic Authentication) are not supported.
