Dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configuration settings
Use this page to set properties for dynamic outbound endpoint SSL configurations, which represent associations between SSL configurations and their target protocol, host, and port.
To view this console page, click Security > SSL certificate and key management > Manage endpoint security configurations > {Inbound | Outbound} > ssl_configuration . Under Related items, click Dynamic [inbound | outbound] endpoint SSL configurations > New.
When an outbound connection is attempted, this association is checked ahead of the SSL configuration scope association. This means based on the target protocol,host,port, the outbound SSL configuration used can be different than the default specified in the SSL scope configuration.

An example of selection criteria is *,www.ibm.com,*, which means that any time the target host is www.ibm.com, use the SSL configuration specified here. Another example selection criteria is IIOP,*,*, which means that any outbound IIOP request uses the SSL configuration that is specified in the SSL configuration field. When there is a conflict between two selection criteria, the appserver uses the first match. The list of valid protocols you can use include: IIOP, HTTP, JMS, LDAP, SIP, ADMIN_SOAP, or ADMIN_IIOP.
