WAS v8.5 > Reference > SetsHTTP SSL Configuration page
Use this page to configure transport-level Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security. We can use this configuration when a web service is a client to another web service.
We 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.

SSL configuration
Select the Centrally-managed radio button so the system runtime chooses the SSL configuration based on the current context. Select the Specific to this web service port radio button 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 to select the SSL configuration rather than using the SSL configuration the runtime automatically selects. To use the drop down box, select the Specific to the web service port radio button located in the SSL configuration field. After you select the radio button, we can click the drop down box to view and select an SSL configuration.
