This section describes optional configuration steps that you can perform to complete the installation of CAICCI. Most of these steps are only required if you wish to make use of SSL CAICCI connections between systems. SSL stands for Secured Sockets Layer Protocol. SSL provides CAICCI with a means of sending data utilizing standard encryption algorithms. SSL combined with the proper use of digital certificates, can ensure that data is sent with a high level of encryption and that the receiving node is who it claims to be. You can run the SSL TCPIP protocol without turning on SSL across any of the links. With no SSL links, the TCPSSL and TCPSSLGW protocols behave in exactly the same manner as the TCPIP and TCPIPGW protocols.
Note: For more information about CAICCI link protocols, see the Administration Guide.
The Sample Certificates in this section, CCIP12 and CCIRTARM, are an End User certificate and the Root certificate that signs (authenticates) it. The PC also has these same sample End User and Root certificates installed (cci.pem and cciroot.pem). By having these sample certificates residing on the mainframe and PC platforms, it will enable the mainframe server CCISSL to authenticate its PC clients. Likewise, using these same certificates, the mainframe gateway server CCISSLGW can authenticate its remote peer servers. You should generate your own SSL certificates and substitute them for the sample certificates that are provided.
