The Solaris Trusted Extensions Installation and Setup course provides students with the knowledge to install Solaris Trusted Extensions software onto a system running the Solaris 10 Operating System. The course provides an overview of the features and functionality of Solaris Trusted Extensions. The factors that affect installation and configuration decisions are covered in detail. Various configuration options are presented along with the advantages and disadvantages of each option. After installing the Trusted Extensions software, the systems are configured with labeled zones and the course begins to examine different network configurations. The course teaches students how to design and configure the security label mechanisms, and how to use extended security features of the two supported window managers: Trusted CDE and Trusted JDS.
