Interoperability with C++ common object request broker architecture client support and limitations

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.
