SSL repertoires

With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration repertoire, administrators can define any number of SSL settings that can be used to make HyperText Transport Protocol SSL (HTTPS), Internet Inter-ORB Protocol SSL (IIOPS) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol SSL (LDAPS) connections.

Using the SSL configuration repertoire, you can pick one of the SSL settings defined here from any location within the administrative console which allows SSL connections. This simplifies the SSL configuration process since you can reuse many of these SSL configurations by simply specifying the alias in multiple places. The appropriate repertoire is referenced during the configuration of a service that sends and receives requests encrypted using SSL, such as the web and enterprise beans containers. Before deleting SSL configurations from the repertoire, remember that if an SSL configuration alias is referenced somewhere, and it is deleted here, an SSL connection will fail if the deleted alias is accessed.
Note: You can also create an alias, but first you must create an SSL configuration repertoire alias or entry. You can then select the alias later when a component is configured for SSL support.

If you choose to use SSL, Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is the SSL repertoire type used. An exception to this is that System SSL (SSSL) is the SSL repertoire type used by the Daemon Address Space as the daemon runs without a JVM, but JSSE is only supported in Java.
