Secure Sockets Layer configuration repertoire settings

Use this page to define a new Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) alias. Using the SSL configuration repertoire, administrators can define any number of SSL settings to use in configuring the HTTPS, Internet Inter-ORB Protocol with SSL (IIOPS) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol with SSL (LDAPS) connections. You can pick one of the SSL settings that is defined here from any location within the administrative console that supports SSL connections. This flexibility simplifies the SSL configuration process because you can reuse many of these SSL configurations by specifying the alias in multiple places.

To view this administrative console page, click Security > SSL.

Click New to create a new SSL Configuration Repertoire alias.

Click Delete to remove an SSL Configuration Repertoire alias. If an SSL configuration alias is referenced in the configuration and deleted here, then an SSL connection fails when the deleted alias is accessed.

Note: If you are choosing to create a new SSL repertoire, the type can be either of the following:

Alias

Specifies the name of the specific SSL setting.

On the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product installation, the default cell SSL alias is used for the HTTPS transport when creating a new server.

Type

Specifies the type of repertoire that is configured for the alias listed.

The value is either SSSL for System Secure Sockets Layer repertoire or JSSE for Java Secure Sockets Extension repertoire.

[Version 6.0.1 and later]
JSSE
Defines an SSL configuration that Java Secure Socket Extensions (JSSE) can use
SSSL
Defines an SSL configuration that z/OS System SSL can use. Use this configuration to process SSL sessions using the following methods:
  • Common Secure Interoperability version 2 (CSIv2)
  • z/OS Secure Authentication Services (zSAS) protocols
  • Web container inbound requests
