Configuring inbound SSL for the Console and Receiver

The WebSphere Partner Gateway key stores are preconfigured in WebSphere Application Server. This section applies only if you are using different key stores.

To configure SSL for the Console and Receiver in WebSphere Partner Gateway, use the following procedure.

  1. Obtain the following information:
  2. Open a Community Console window and change to /<ProductDir>/bin The server does not need to be running to change the passwords.
  3. Enter the following command, substituting the values that are enclosed in <>. All values must be entered.
    ./bcgwsadmin.sh -f /<ProductDir>/
    scripts/bcgssl.jacl -conntype NONE install 
    <keyFile_pathname>
    <keyFile_password> <keyFile_format> <trustFile_pathname> 
    <trustFile_password> <trustFile_format>
  4. Start the server. If the server fails to start, it might be because of an error when running bcgssl.jacl. If you make a mistake, you can rerun the script to correct it.
  5. If you used bcgClientAuth.jacl to set the clientAuthentication SSL property, reset it after using bcgssl.jacl. This is because bcgssl.jacl overwrites any values that might have been set for client authentication with the value false.

Note: Repeat these steps for the Console, substituting console for receiver in the path name.
