Configuring SSL Settings for outbound communications
You can configure SSL settings for outbound communications in Liberty.
About this task
SSL configurations in Liberty can be used for both inbound and outbound communications. Liberty has an SSL configuration that is called defaultSSLConfig and that defines the default SSL settings for both inbound and outbound SSL connections. You might often need different SSL settings for outbound communications than what you need for inbound communications. On Liberty, you can configure different SSL settings by specifying an SSL configuration on the outboundSSLRef attribute on the defaultSSL element.
