SSL prerequisites
- IBM® Digital Certificate Manager (DCM), option 34 of i5/OS® (5722-SS1)
- TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for iSeries™ (5722-TC1)
- IBM HTTP Server for iSeries (5722-DG1)
- If you are trying to use the HTTP server to use the DCM, ensure that you have the IBM Developer Kit for Java™ (5722–JV1) installed. Otherwise, the HTTP admin server will not start.
- You may also want to install cryptographic hardware to use with SSL to speed up the SSL handshake processing. If you want to install cryptographic hardware, also install Option 35, the Cryptographic Service Provider.
