Use Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) to allow the service integration bus to invoke external web services that include https:// in their addresses.
By default, each managed endpoint is already configured to use SSL. However you will have to modify the default configuration, for example to add information about the keys and keystores that the external web service uses.
Alternatively, you can use a JAX-RPC handler to set the SSL configuration. You might want to do this because you are upgrading from a previous version of WebSphere® Application Server and your configuration is already set to work in this way, or because you have to target an SSL configuration very precisely; for example to secure each service or each invocation.
To configure SSL certificate and key management for a managed endpoint, see Creating a Secure Sockets Layer configuration.
To use a JAX-RPC handler to set the SSL configuration, complete the following steps:
