Creating the SSL configuration

This task explains how to create the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration for the Reusable Components on WebSphere® Premises Server to securely call to the Web services on InfoSphere™ Traceability Server.

Before you begin
You should have completed the tasks for Mapping the InfoSphere Traceability Server user to query roles and Configuring Reusable Component endpoints for secured Web services.
About this task

Secured communication to InfoSphere Traceability Server Web services requires transport-level security using SSL. WebSphere Application Server contains features for managing SSL configuration in the Security section of the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.

The Reusable Components on WebSphere Premises Server act as a client to call the Web services on InfoSphere Traceability Server. Making the secured Web services calls requires an SSL configuration that is built on the client key store and trust store that are provided by InfoSphere Traceability Server.

To create the SSL configuration:

Procedure
  1. Copy the DummyClientKeyFile.jks and DummyClientTrustFile.jks files from InfoSphere Traceability Server to WebSphere Premises Server.
  2. Rename the files to RFIDICDummyClientKeyFile.jks and RFIDICDummyClientTrustFile.jks.
  3. Move the files to the ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/etc path on WebSphere Premises Server.
  4. On WebSphere Premises Server, log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  5. Select Security > SSL Certificate and Key Management.
  6. Select Key Store and Certificates.
  7. Click New.
  8. Complete the following fields and click OK:
    • Name: RFIDICKeyFile
    • Path: ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/etc/RFIDICDummyClientKeyFile.jks
    • Password: WebAS
    • Confirm Password: WebAS
    • Type: JKS
  9. Click New.
  10. Complete the following fields and click OK:
    • Name: RFIDICTrustFile
    • Path: ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/etc/RFIDICDummyClientTrustFile.jks
    • Password: WebAS
    • Confirm Password: WebAS
    • Type: JKS
  11. Save your changes.
  12. Select Security > SSL Certificate and Key Management.
  13. Select SSL Configuration.
  14. Click New.
  15. Complete the following fields:
    • Name: RFIDICSSL
    • Trust store name:: RFIDICTrustFile
    • Key store name:: RFIDICKeyFile
  16. Click Get Certificate Alias. This fills in the default server certificate alias and default client certificate alias with the value of WebSphere dummy client.
  17. Click OK.
  18. Save your changes.
