[Version 5.0.2 and later]Setting up SSL connections for Java clients

Before you begin[Version 5.0.2 and later]

To configure SSL for use between Java clients running on a workstation and the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS J2EE server:

Steps for this task

  1. Determine what SSL repertoire the server is using.
    For example: WASKeyring.
  2. Determine the user ID the server is running.
    For example: CBSYMSR1.
  3. Export the certificate authority from RACF.
    For example: RACDCERT CERTAUTH EXPORT(LABEL('WebSphereCA')) DSN('IBMUSER.WAS.CA') FORMAT(CERTDER)
  4. Move the file to the workstation. (Note that the FTP transfer must use binary.)
    For example: c:\tmp directory
  5. Add the digital certificate to the TrustStore used by the client.
    For example: DummyClientTrustFile.jks file: keytool -import -file c:\tmp\IBMUSER.WAS.CA -keystore DummyClientTrustFile.jks]
