Regarding application of security patches RHEL 5.5

Hi
Is there a direct way to apply a particular security advisory on the system.

Presently we have certain security advisories to be applied which require installation of multiple rpms and their dependencies.

These rpms as listed in the security advisory also mention that they have been outdated by other releases.

So the question is that is downloading and applying all such rpms the only way to confirm to the security advisory or there is some other direct way to get the security advisory updated at the system.

If the security map is not present, one is created. You must have first created a connector connection pool using the create-connector-connection-pool command. The enterprise information system is any system which holds the information. It can be a mainframe, a messaging system, a database system, or even an application. The --principals option and --usergroups option are mutually exclusive; only one should be used. This command is supported in remote mode only. OPTIONS
--user authorized domain application server administrative username. --password password to administer the domain application server. --host machine name where the domain application server is running. --port port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. --secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server. --passwordfile file containing the domain application server password. --terse indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well- formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false. --echo setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false. --interactive if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted. --poolname connector connection pool name. --principals a comma separated list of J2EE principals. --usergroups a comma separated list of J2EE usergroups. --mappedusername the enterprise information system username. --mappedpassword the enterprise information system password. OPERANDS
mapname name of the security map to be created. Example 1: Using create-connector-security-map It is assumed that the connector pool has already been created using the create-connector-pool command. asadmin> create-connector-security-map --user admin --password adminadmin poolname connector-pool1 --principals principal1,principal2 --usergroups usergroup1,usergroup2 --mappedusername backend-username --mappedpassword backend-password securityMap1 Command create-connector-security-map executed successfully EXIT STATUS
