Converting pre-Version 6.1 SSL configurations to a Version 6.1 style SSL configuration using scripting

You can use the convertSSLConfig wsadmin task to convert a pre-Version 6.1 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) configurations to a Version 6.1 style SSL configuration instead of manually updating these configurations.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

About this task

New feature [Fix Pack 23 or later] New feature: Many of the attributes used to configure SSL, such as the key stores, and the default repertoire configurations have changed. Also, direct references to SSL configurations are no longer stored in the server.xml file. The convertSSLConfig wsadmin task provides an alternative to manually converting an existing pre-Version 6.1 SSL configurations to a Version 6.1 style SSL configuration.newfeat
The parameter you specify on the onvertSSLConfig command determines the type of conversion that occurs:
  • If you specify the CONVERT_SSLCONFIGS option for the sslConversionOption parameter, any pre-Version 6.1 style repertoire in the configuration, except for any repertoire that belongs to a pre-Version 6.1 node in a cell, is located, and converted to the Version 6.1 style repertoire. Any repertoire that belongs to a pre-Version 6.1 node in a cell, is not converted.

    You should specify this option if you need to keep SSL configuration direct referencing. Starting with Version 6.1, the SSL configuration is not centralized. Specifying the CONVERT_SSLCONFIGS option retains all of the direct references to objects like the SOAPConnector, and channel service.

  • If you specify the CONVERT_TO_DEFAULT option for the sslConversionOption parameter, the SSL configuration is completely converted to the a Version 6.1 style configuration, and the SSL configuration is moved to the centrally managed repertoire. Any direct references to SSL configurations, that are contained in the server.xml file are removed from that file.

Complete one of the following steps to convert a pre-Version 6.1 SSL configurations to a Version 6.1 style SSL configuration.
