Accessing secure resources using SSL and applet clients

Why and when to perform this taskBy default, the applet client is configured to have security enabled. If you have global security turned on at the server from which you are accessing resources, then you can use secure sockets layer (SSL) when needed. If you decide that the security requirements for the applet differ from other application client types, then create a new version of the sas.client.props file.

1. Make a copy of the following file so that you can use it for an applet:

   <install_root>/properties/sas.client.props 

2. Edit the copy of sas.client.props file that you made with your changes.

3. Click Start > Control panel > select the product Java plug-in to open the Java control panel.

   • To use the file you created in step 1, modify the following value:

     -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL=file:<install_root>\properties\sas.client.props 

   For more information on the sas.client.props file and WebSphere Application Server security, see the Security section of the information center.
