Configure SSL parameters for clients or servers
How you configure SSL parameters varies between clients and servers.
Procedure
- Configure client SSL parameters.
Use one of the following options to configure SSL parameters on the client:
- Create a com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.security.config.SSLConfiguration object by using the com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.security.config.ClientSecurityConfigurationFactory factory class.
- Configure the parameters in the client.properties file. You can then either set the property file as a JVM client property or you can use the WebSphere eXtreme Scale APIs. Pass the properties file into the ClientSecurityConfigurationFactory.getClientSecurityConfiguration(String) method for the client and use the returned object as a parameter to the ObjectGridManager.connect(String, ClientSecurityConfiguration, URL) method.
- Configure server SSL parameters.
SSL parameters are configured for servers using the server.properties file. To start a container or catalog server with a specific property file, use the -serverProps parameter on the startOgServer script. For more information about the SSL parameters you can set for eXtreme Scale servers, see Security server properties.
