Secure communications using wsadmin

The appserver provides several methods to secure communication between a server and a client. Use this topic to configure SSL, keystores, certificate authorities, key sets and groups, and certificates.

 

• Set secure communications using SSL. Use the SSLConfigCommands, SSLConfigGroupCommands, DynamicSSLConfigSelections and SSLTransport command groups for AdminTask, and complete the following tasks to create and administer SSL configurations:
  • Create an SSL configuration at the node scope using scripting.
  • Automate SSL configurations using scripting.

• Create a keystore configuration. Use the KeyStoreCommands command group for AdminTask, and complete the following tasks to create and administer keystore configurations.
  • Update default key store passwords using scripting

• Create a certificate authority (CA) client configuration.

  A CA client object contains all of the configuration information necessary to connect to a third-party CA server. Use the CAClientCommands command group for AdminTask, and complete the following tasks to create and administer CA client objects in the configuration:

  • Set CA clients using scripting
  • Administer CA clients using scripting

• Administer certificate configurations. Use the CertificateRequestCommands, PersonalCertificateCommands, and SignerCertificateCommands command groups for AdminTask, and complete the following tasks to administer personal certificates, CA certificates, and self-signed certificates:
  • Create self-signed certificates using scripting
  • Set CA certificates using scripting

• Create key sets and key groups.

  Use the KeySetCommands, KeySetGroupCommands, and KeyReferenceCommands command groups for AdminTask to create and administer key set and group configurations.
