Create SSL type standard junctions

SSL junctions function exactly like TCP junctions, with the added value that all communication between WebSEAL and the back-end server is encrypted.

SSL junctions allow secure end-to-end browser-to-application transactions. We can use SSL to secure communications from the client to WebSEAL and from WebSEAL to the back-end server. The back-end server must be HTTPS-enabled when we use an SSL junction.

To create a secure SSL junction and add an initial server, use the create command with the -t ssl option:

pdadmin> server task instance_name-webseald-host-name create -t ssl -h host_name [-p port] jct_point

The default port value for an SSL junction (if not specified) is 443.
