Using a certificate from a trusted authority
IBM Toolbox for Java ships a keyring file that supports server
certificates from a set of trusted authorities, represented by the
following companies:
- IBM World Registry
- Integrion Financial Network
- RSA Data Security, Inc.
- Thawte Consulting
- VeriSign, Inc.
The keyring file already supports certificates that
you get from one of these trusted authorities. All you need to do
is get the zip files that contain the encryption algorithms and add
it to your CLASSPATH statement.
To use the certificate, complete the following steps:
- Select the directory where you want to put the zip files.
- Download the version of SSL that you want to use by copying the
zip files into the selected directory:
- For 56-bit encryption (used with licensed program 5722-CE2),
copy /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/SSL56/sslightx.zip.
- For 128-bit encryption (used with licensed program 5722-CE3),
copy /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/SSL128/sslightu.zip.
- Add the zip file to your CLASSPATH statement.
