New feature: WebSphere Application
Server provides several methods for securing communication between
a server and a client. New in this release are functions that ensure
secure communication between a server and a client. These functions
focus on certificate management, authentication, and ensuring trust
among the application server, administrative agent, and job manager.
The new functions include:
- Creating and using a certificate authority (CA) clients to enable
a CA to request, query, and revoke certificates.
- Creating and using chained personal certificates to allow a certificate
to be signed with a longer life span.
- Creating and revoking certificate authority (CA) certificates
to ensure secure communication between the CA client and the CA server.
