IBM Security Bulletin: WebSphere Portal vulnerable to unauthorized access to user directory CVE-2013-3016 – United States
Flash Alert
Abstract
WebSphere Portal is vulnerable to unauthorized access to user directory
Managing the ReleaseBuilder deployment process for IBM WebSphere Portal
ReleaseBuilder is a tool shipped with IBM WebSphere Portal that lets customers manage and deploy changes in a production environment. This white paper describes a bestpractice process and the steps therein that are required to manage a deployment process that depends on ReleaseBuilder. This process was developed using WebSphere Portal V7 but could easily be adapted to other versions of WebSphere Portal.

IBM Is Sametime affected by the WebSphere plugin expiration of 26 April 2012? – United States
Question
Is a default Sametime installation affected by the following WebSphere plugin expirations occurring on April 26:
Password to the plugin-key.kdb file expires on April 26, 2012 US EDT (#1588312)
The password to the plugin-key.kdb file that is shipped with WebSphere Application Server expires on April 26, 2012 US EDT. A majority of users do not reference the affected file at runtime and therefore are not impacted. However, a small minority of users must take action and use certificate management tools to remove the password expiration prior to April 26, 2012 to avoid experiencing this failure.
Plugin Personal Certificate will expire on April 26, 2012 (#1577327)
The personal certificate called “WebSphere Plugin Key” within the plugin-key.kdb that is shipped with the WebSphere Plugin install will expire on April 26, 2012.
Answer
No, the default out-of-the-box Sametime 8.5 environment is not affected by these expirations. Sametime 8.5 servers do not use the WebSphere plugin.

IBM – Knowledge Collection: Migration planning for WebSphere Application Server
The primary purpose of this material is to provide information required to plan and execute a successful migration between different versions of WebSphere Application Server. The goal is to provide a central set of information and references to enable customers of WebSphere Application Server to do this migration themselves without requiring assistance. There has been significant improvement over time in the area of WebSphere Application Server migration, but there are still some technical aspects involved in any migration scenario. These technical aspects can be addressed easier, and with reduced risk, if understood and addressed early. The overall process will always need careful planning and execution no matter how trivial the technical aspects might become for compatibility of applications themselves.
There are different migration scenarios. Migration scenarios are defined based on what combination of WebSphere Application Server versions are being migrated. There are different factors to consider based on what the “from” and “to” versions are that are being migrated. Each migration scenario is unique.
