​There are new cumulative updates this week, and a couple of security vulnerabilities that you need to be aware of, which we cover along with the normal PTF updates and defective PTF rundown that we do every week. Let’s start, as we often do, with the vulnerabilities.
First, we have Security Bulletin: IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty for IBM i. which is vulnerable to a server-side request forgery, a denial of service, an attacker obtaining sensitive information, and gaining elevated privileges due to multiple vulnerabilities.

Guru: Speeding Up RPG By Reducing I/O Operations Gregory Simmons

​Perhaps one of the easiest ways to speed up an RPG program is to reduce the number of I/O operations it needs to perform. In this article let’s explore one simple method for moving toward dataset processing.
Here I have a simple RPG program. Okay, admittedly, we don’t often get to write “simple” RPG programs, but for this example, I have stripped the RPG program down to just the read loop so I can demonstrate the conversion.

Trying to implement Kerberos Constrained delegation in AD SSO but know nothing about AS400 stewie055

​Hello, I work in a security team at my company. I’ve been tasked to do something about the 40 AD service accounts that have been created for AS400/AD SSO. They are ALL in unconstrained delegation which drives me crazy. Basically, it means that anyone who controls the sso server can impersonate AS400 users. The two guys managing those AS400 have no time to spare on this project and they don’t want to tell me if it’s even possible to achieve RBCD or constrained delegation (kudos to them if they are in this sub) Is there any documentation somewhere that would argue in my favor ? Is it hard to setup ? Any help would be greatly appreciated submitted by /u/stewie055[link][comments] Read More
