DCM set up requirements

 

Review this topic to make sure you have the required options installed to run Digital Certificate Manager (DCM).

DCM is a free System i™ feature that allows you to centrally manage digital certificates for your applications. To use DCM successfully, ensure that you do the following:

• Install option 34 of i5/OS^®. This is the browser-based DCM feature.

• Install the IBM^® HTTP Server for i5/OS (5722–DG1) and start the Administrative server instance.

• Ensure that TCP is configured for your system so that you can use a Web browser and the HTTP Server Administrative server instance to access DCM.

You will not be able to create certificates unless you install all the required products. If a required product is not installed, DCM displays an error message instructing you to install the missing component.
