Lesson 3.1: Configure CSIv2 inbound and outbound transport

To configure Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) for the server transport, set the Common Secure Interoperability Protocol Version 2 (CSIv2) inbound transport and CSIv2 outbound transport to SSL-Required for all the WebSphere® Application Server servers that host clients, catalog servers, and container servers.

About this task

In the tutorial example topology, you must set these properties for the, s1, s2, xs1, and xs2 application servers. The following steps configure the inbound and outbound transports for all the servers in the configuration.

Procedure

Set the inbound and outbound transports in the administrative console. Make sure that administrative security is enabled.
  • WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0: Click Security > Global Security > RMI/IIOP Security > CSIv2 inbound communications. Change the transport type under the CSIv2 Transport Layer to SSL-Required. Repeat this step to configure CSIv2 outbound communications.

Results

You can use centrally managed endpoint security settings, or you can configure SSL repositories. See Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 transport inbound settings for more information.
