HTTP SSL Configuration collection
Use this page to configure transport-level SSL security. You can use this configuration when a Web service is a client to another Web service.
You can use transport-level security to enable HTTP SSL (or HTTPS). Transport-level security can be enabled or disabled independently from message-level security. Because transport-level security provides minimal security, use message-level security when security is essential to the Web service application. To view this console page...
- Click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_instance.
- Click Manage modules > URI_file_name > Web Services: Client Security Bindings.
- Under HTTP SSL Configuration, click Edit.
- SSL configuration
Select the Centrally-managed radio button so that the system runtime chooses the SSL configuration that is based on the current context. Select the Specific to this Web service port radio button if you want to choose the SSL configuration in the HTTP SSL configuration drop down box.
- HTTP SSL configuration
The HTTP SSL configuration drop down box lists the SSL configurations used with the HTTP transport for a port. Use this drop down box if you want to select the SSL configuration rather than using the SSL configuration that the runtime automatically selects. To use the drop down box, select the Specific to the Web service port radio button that is located in the SSL configuration field. After you select the radio button, you can click the drop down box to view and select an SSL configuration.
