SSL Security Settings
Use this panel to specify the certificate location required for SSL/TLS security functions.
The server certificate authentication process defined in the SSL protocol requires a certificate location. This location can be either:
- a security server (a RACF or other SAF-compliant security product)
- an HFS key database
Before you begin, decide:
- the certificate location
- whether you need to specify cryptographic algorithms
- whether you need to specify more advanced security settings
Steps
-
Specify the certificate ring location by entering the key ring name or
file name.
-
If desired, enable certificate authentication by clicking in the check
box.
-
Click on the Ciphers button to select ciphers.
-
Click on the Advanced button to specify more security settings.
-
Click OK to indicate you are done.
You have completed this panel when you have:
-
Specified a certificate location
-
Evaluated your need to enable certificate authentication
-
Specified cryptographic algorithms or more advance security settings
