Note: 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.
