Sessions & Labs
Sessions:
Taste of training
Red Hat Summit will have a Taste of training track focusing on a sampling from our robust training and consulting services that we offer on both an individual and team basis.
Testing Persistence with Arquillian
Jim Rigsbee — Global Learning Services Curriculum Manager, Red Hat
Unit testing Java EE 6 applications that use JPA (persistence) can be cumbersome. Arquillian, a JBoss Community project, is a perfect complement to Junit, allowing the developer to run tests inside the container with ease. In this session, attendees will be given a completed persistence application that uses JPA with JBoss Hibernate, an open source Java persistence framework project. The goal is to write a JUnit test that puts the entities and session beans under test.

Custom Scripting with CLI
Bruce Wolfe — Global Learning Services Curriculum Manager, Red Hat
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 introduced a new management interface: the CLI. Using the CLI, platform administrators can perform virtually any configuration task, even deployment of application packages, to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 servers running in standalone or domain mode. These configurations can be scripted for reuse using a variety of programming languages. In this session, attendees will be give hands-on access to writing and running CLI scripts to configure Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 and to retrieve vital information about available services.

SELinux for Immortals
Forrest Taylor — Curriculum Manager, Training, Red Hat
SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) was introduced to the open source world at the end of 2000 and was included in the 2.6.0-test3 kernel and Fedora Core 2. There have been many enhancements to SELinux since that time; and in this session, Forrest Taylor will investigate one of those enhancements: semanage. Semanage is an expanded SELinux technology for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Attendees will view demonstrations with semanage and explore semanage with hands-on labs and use- cases.

Managing Updates on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Scott McBrien — Global Learning Services Curriculum Manager, Red Hat
There are a variety of concerns (e.g., what version of software you’re required to run for vendor support or whether your organization wants all updates, bug fixes, or security-related updates only) that can affect your approach to applying updates to your Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
In this session, attendees will review:
- These concerns and strategies to mitigate them
- Yum and RPM queries that can provide you with the detailed information you need
- Several solutions provided by Red Hat for managing updates for machines
- The yum security plugin and Red Hat Network Satellite API

Filesystem Access Control Lists & Special Permissions
Rudolf Kastl — Global Learning Services Curriculum Manager, Red Hat
When controlling access to files on standard Linux file systems, there are scenarios in which the basic file permission mechanisms do not work well meeting real-life requirements. For example, there are instances when files or directories need to be accessible by certain users or groups in ways that are hard to express using the basic permission mechanisms. Sometimes, files created in particular directories should be accessible by particular users or groups by default.
In this session, attendees will learn how to use access control lists (ACLs), usable with the XFS and ext4 file systems most commonly used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, to set complex sets of permissions on files and directories. Attendees will also learn:
- Whether ACLs are in use
- ACLs’ effects on file access permission
- The effects of special permissions (e.g., setuid, setgid, and the sticky)
