Help for Create SSL Database
The Create SSL Database page lets you add an SSL database to the system. You can then add one or more certificates to the newly added SSL database, which the IBM HTTP Server can then use for its HTTP-S support. The IBM HTTP Server configuration must be modified to refer to this database before the database and its contents can be used by the web server.
To create an SSL database, type the requested information and click Submit.
File name | The file name for the new database. The contents of the database are stored in the named file.
This name is used when referring to the database. This value may contain only alpha-numeric
characters and spaces, up to a maximum of 64 characters. The key database file extension
(.kdb ) will be added automatically to the supplied name to form the complete
file name of the database. |
Password | The password used to authenticate access to the new database.
The supplied password must be provided whenever you wish to update
the contents of or delete the database. Passwords are case sensitive.
This value can be any text string up to 255 characters, excluding blanks and special characters.
Note: You must provide the database password whenever you wish to update or delete the database. If you forget the password, you will not be able to modify the contents or delete the database. |
Repeat Password | Re-enter the database password to confirm the correct value is entered. |
