IELTS Band Scale - Middleware News

Band Scale

IELTS is scored on a nine band scale, with each band corresponding to a specified competence in English.Overall Band Scores are reported to the nearest whole or half band.

For the avoidance of doubt, the following rounding convention applies; if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.

The nine bands are described as follows:

[edit] 8 Very Good User

Adding SSL certificates to a mixed z/OS and Unix queue manager environment - Middleware News

Adding SSL certificates to a mixed z/OS and Unix queue manager environment - Middleware News 1. Security Considerations IBM advises customers who are using SSL, that the most secure way to do this is to use recognized Certification Authorities to sign their certificates. Ensuring secure transfer of information is the main purpose of SSL. This integrity must be properly observed when setting up SSL. You should always be certain who has signed each of your SSL certificates, who has had and who continues to have access to them. The first secure way to generate certificates is to generate a certificate request, on each system or machine that uses SSL. This request has to be signed by an external Certification Authority before it can be used. Getting certificate requests signed by a CA is secure, because during the signing process at no point do any files contain the certificate's Private Keys. This principle is vital to SSL security. Signing certificates in this way is covered...
