  - Planning your IBM® Workload Scheduler environment
    IBM® Workload Scheduler orchestrates unattended, scheduled, and event-driven tasks for business and IT processes across on-premises and cloud environments organized in a network. A network consists of a set of linked workstations on which you perform job scheduling and processing to automate and manage your workflows. An IBM Workload Scheduler network is composed of a master domain manager, one or more Dynamic Workload Console servers, dynamic domain managers, and dynamic agents. You might also have fault-tolerant agents, extended agents, standard agents connected to the master domain manager or to domain managers.

FAQ - Security configurations

A list of questions and answers related to security configurations:

When installing the IBM Workload Scheduler, you might have the need to customize some parameters to suit your environment.

Can I install any IBM Workload Scheduler components without setting up the SSL configuration?: No, starting from version 10.2.1, certificates, either default or custom, are required when installing IBM® Workload Scheduler. You can no longer install IBM® Workload Scheduler without securing your environment with certificates.
How do I configure master domain manager and dynamic domain manager in SSL mode?: See the detailed explanation in Configuring your master domain manager and dynamic domain manager in SSL mode.
How do I configure Single Sign-On?: Single Sign-On (SSO) is a method of access control that allows a user to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple applications sharing the same user registry. For more information, see Configuring the Dynamic Workload Console for Single Sign-On.
