Welcome to Red Hat Documentation


Red Hat Documentation provides manuals, references and guides to the following Products:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the world’s leading open source operating system and application deployment platform.
On one certified platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers an array of:
  • Applications — thousands of certified ISV applications.
  • Deployment options — including standalone or virtual servers, cloud computing, or software appliances.
  • Hardware choices — a wide range of platforms from the world’s leading hardware vendors.
Red Hat Documentation provides guides to installing, deploying and maintaining Red Hat Enterprise Linux itself as well guides and manuals covering Cluster Administration; the Red Hat Global File System; Red Hat Virtualization; Performance Tuning; and fault-tolerant Multipath I/O.
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is Red Hat's enterprise-ready, open source tool for building, deploying and hosting Java applications and services. The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform integrates a clustered Java EE application server with object/relational mapping and persistence (JBoss Hibernate) and a complete application framework (JBoss Seam).
Red Hat Documentation provides a complete set of books on the JBoss tools, including Hibernate and Seam references, installation and server configuration guides, user guides to JBoss Messaging and Entity Manager and a complete reference to Hibernate Annotations.
JBoss Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Platform
The JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform integrates the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform with the JBoss Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), JBoss Rules (an open source and standards-based business rules engine) and JBPM (the JBoss Enterprise Framework) to provide a complete, simple and open business automation platform.
The JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform documentation suite includes a JBoss Rules manual, a users guide to JBPM, guides to ESB monitoring and programming, a guide to integrating JBPM and ESB and a guide to ESB administration.
Red Hat Certificate System
The Red Hat Certificate System is an open-source, real-world hardened, certificate authority. It supports every aspect of certificate lifecycle management, including key archival, the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and smartcard management.
Red Hat Documentation provides an Administrator’s Guide to the entire system covering installation, deployment, the OCSP, Registration Authorities, token processing, smart card deployment and management, certificate and token management, certificate revocation and migration up from the Certificate System’s predecessor: the Netscape Certificate Management System.
The Administrator's Guide also includes a complete Access Control List (ACL) reference, which defines and describes every ACL resource for all sub-systems, noting what each resource controls and listing possible operations and outcomes for these operations.
Red Hat Directory Server
Red Hat Directory Server is an LDAP-based server that centralizes application settings, user profiles, group data, policies, and access control information. Forming the central repository for an Identity Management infrastructure, Red Hat Directory Server simplifies user management, eliminating data redundancy and automating data maintenance. Red Hat Directory Server creates a single authentication source for both intranet and extranet applications, improving security by storing policies and access control information in an operating system-independent, network-based, registry.
Red Hat Documentation provides Guides to Installing, Deploying, Administering and Customizing the Directory Server as well as a complete Command and Schema Reference.
Red Hat Enterprise MRG
Red Hat Enterprise MRG Realtime is a collection of packages which add to or replace standard components of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (including a real-time kernel and a collection of utiltities for configuring and tuning real-time performance). The combination of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise MRG provides reliable, interoperable messaging up to 100-times faster than standard solutions. As well, MRG provides a scheduler for distributing large computing tasks across a distributed computing grid.
Red Hat Documentation provides guides to installing and deploying MRG, a messaging tutorial, a guide to deploying the MRG Grid component and a guide to tuning the MRG real-time kernel.
Red Hat Network Satellite
Red Hat Network Satellite is a Linux systems management server that allows you to host a complete, secure Linux deployment and maintenance system on your own infrastructure. Only the Satellite server ever connects to the Red Hat Network, making it possible to control updates on managed systems (including virtualized systems) absolutely. Add the provisioning module and it's possible to add bare-metal systems to your network and have them ready to deploy without ever putting the system on the public internet.
Red Hat Documentation for Network Satellite includes guides to installation, deployment, client configuration and channel management. As well there is a complete Reference Guide to the Network Satellite Server.
