Sun Certified Security Administrator exam passed. CV for Halvard "Hal" Halvorsen updated.

Just got the news through email that I did pass the Sun Certified Security Administrator for Solaris 9 exam so the cv has been updated.

If the beta test is anything to go by this exam will require quite a bit of work to pass. This is reflected in the pass score which is set at a lower than normal 60% (SCNA pass level is 70%). I scored 66% on the beta test - the beta had roughly 150 questions so I am happy with that.

About the only hint I can provide without giving the game away is that this is a Sun certification so make sure you are prepared for the Solaris specifics like the Basic Security Module (BSM), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC - overly complex? reminds me of setting up serial ports and modems) and ACL's.

If anyone can think of a good abbreviation for Sun Certified Security Administrator - let me know.


Up to date CV (resume) for Halvard "Hal" Halvorsen.

Passed my 5th SCNA (Sun Certified Network Administrator for Solaris 8) exam yesterday so my cv has been updated. In with the new and out with the old: I took off the old Solaris 2.4/2.5 certificates and put XHTML on instead. The plan is to go XHTML 1.1 Strict for the whole site and then maybe try to create an even more (? sic!) minimal design utilising a simpler stylesheet.
