Preparing truststore files

Why and when to perform this task

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol protects the communication between WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application servers. To complete the SSL connection, establish a valid truststore file for the WebSphere Application Server. A truststore file is a key database file that contains the public keys (See Creating login key files for information about how to create a new keystore file.)

Steps for this task

  1. Extract the public key of the z/OS server by using the key management tool from WebSphere Application Server z/OS.
    For details, see Configuring the server for request decryption: choosing the decryption method.
  2. Add the public key from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server as a signer certificate into the requesting WebSphere Application Server truststore file.
    For details, see the related information about how to .

Results

The WebSphere Application Server truststore file is now ready to use for SSL connections with the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS servers.

What to do next

See Configuring the application server for interoperability for interoperability.
