Abstract: A computer-implemented method of enabling security in network resources provisioned as part of a service landscape instance is provided. The method includes initiating an orchestration process for creating a landscape service instance to provide services to a service subscriber over a data communications network. The method further includes deriving from the orchestration process at least one parameter, and generating at least one security configuration profile based upon the at least one parameter for at least one system of the landscape service instance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for updating network security policy rules when network resources are provisioned in a service landscape instance. The method includes categorizing network resources in a service landscape instance based on a service landscape model. The method further includes responding to the provisioning of a network resource by automatically generating one or more security policy rules for a newly-provisioned network resource. Additionally, the method includes updating security policy rules of pre-existing network resources in the service landscape instance that are determined to be eligible to communicate with the newly-provisioned network resource so as to include the newly-provisioned network resource as a remote resource based on the service landscape model.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products provide communications with a plurality of application instances using a plurality of communication protocol stacks and a single Internet Protocol (IP) address. A stack is established as a routing stack associated with the single IP address. Other stacks which are associated with the single IP address are defined as candidate target stacks and an identification of candidate target stacks and the routing stack is distributed to the stacks. The routing stack is notified when an application associated with a candidate target stack listens to a port of the IP address to establish a current actual target stack. A request to establish a connection to the IP address and the port of the IP address is received and a routing table entry corresponding to the current actual target stack is created to provide a routing path from the routing stack to the current actual target stack.
