 Apache Geronimo is a lightweight, flexible, component-based server for
 building dynamic application server environments. Geronimo plugins can be
 assembled into a fully compliant Java EE Server. However, it can be easily
 assembled into a server providing a subset of functionality or a minimal
 subset required to meet the requirements of a set of applications. In
 addition to the Apache Geronimo Server, the Geronimo project is also
 comprised of a number of subprojects: Development Tools, XBean, Yoko,
 GShell, JavaMail, Connector/Transaction, etc.

 Potential topics for the Geronimo Track include, but are in no way limited
 to:
  * Geronimo architecture,
  * Systems management,
  * Custom server assemblies,
  * Application development and user experiences,
  * OSGi Blueprint,
  * Kernel restructuring,
  * Java EE 6,

 Please submit Talk proposals on this mail thread. Each suggestion should

Geronimo makes it easy to assemble a custom server around your  
applications, including only those features needed to run your apps.  
We'll see how to use maven to integrate this into your build  
process.   We'll discuss how this works in recent geronimo releases  
such as 2.2 and how it will work in the osgi environment in geronimo  
3.0.

 * Abstract (Short overview of the talk contents)
Apache Geronimo 2.x is certified Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 container
suitable for everything from a development environment to enterprise-level
deployments. Geronimo leverages many Apache projects, such as Tomcat,
OpenEJB, ActiveMQ, Derby. This session will cover administering Geronimo
from two points of view: configuring an existing Geronimo server directly
through the powerful web based administration console or editing
configuration files, and secondly through Geronimo plugins containing
configuration information either used in a custom server assembly or
installed into an existing server.
  Some of the topics covered are:
  - First steps in getting Geronimo ready for a production
environment,
  - Administering embedded Tomcat, ActiveMQ, Derby.
  - Managing keys, digital certificates and configuring SSL.
  - Running a cluster of multiple server instances from the same
installation.

Securing Java EE 5.0 Applications with Apache Geronimo

 * Speaker name(s)
Vamsavardhana Reddy Chillakuru

 * Abstract (Short overview of the talk contents)
Security is always a high priority in application development, and with
complex applications the task becomes even more daunting. While the Java EE
specification, JAAS and JACC provide a step in the right direction, every
application server is free to implement container security differently.
Apache Geronimo, a JEE 5.0 certified container, enables storing user
credentials in a variety of data stores viz., simple text files, a database,
an LDAP server and digital certificates. In this session we see how these
data stores can be used to configure application security and how the
necessary infrastructure can be run in Apache Geronimo itself. The session
presents: a) Prerequisites for PropertiesFile, Database, LDAP and
CertificatePropertiesFile realms and shows how to create these realms. b)
Advanced features like auditing, lockout after repeated failures, prinicipal
wrapping, single-sign-on, etc. c) Configuring Web/EJB/EAR application
security. After completing this session, the audience will gain knowledge on
their choice of data stores for user credentials, create various security
realms and deployment plans necessary to secure their applications with
Geronimo.

features provided by Geronimo, running multiple instances of Geronimo server
from the same installation, preparing their applications for deployment on
the cluster and know how to configure Geronimo clusters to suit their needs.
