I found that the delegated administration steps can be a little complicated to do the first time, so I'm making a note of it here for future reference, and to hopefully help others: Configuring the Administrative Roles for the Tivoli Security Policy Manager Console. Create a User. Add the user to the tspm_user group in... Continue Reading →
After Installing my TSPM JACCPLUS Equity Trader Application onto a new server with the RTSS Client already installed, I found that the entitlements call seemed to work fine, but the request for authorization when I was adding a custom attribute handler, seemed to generate the following error: Error 500: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/ibm/sec/authz/jaccplus/EvaluationContext.registerHandler (java/lang/String;Lcom/ibm/sec/authz/jaccplus/IEvaluationContextHandler;) So,...
