Configure the CA DataMinder Import Web Service to Use SSL

if you require secure communications between Content Collector and the CA DataMinder policy engines, you can configure the CA DataMinder web service to use SSL.

To configure the CA DataMinder web service to use SSL

1. Open the web.config.

   Find this file in the \bin subfolder of the CA DataMinder installation folder on the IBM Content Collector host server.

2. Locate the <service> element:

   <services>
     <service name="ICCImportSvc.WgnICCImportSvc">
       <endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" contract="ICCImportSvc.IWgnICCImportSvc"/>
     </service>
   </services>
   

3. Add the bindingConfiguration property to the <service> element:

   <services>
     <service name="ICCImportSvc.WgnICCImportSvc">
       <endpoint 
        binding="webHttpBinding" 
        contract="ICCImportSvc.IWgnICCImportSvc" 
        bindingConfiguration="webHttps"/>
     </service>
   </services>
   

4. Add a new <bindings> element at the same level as the <services> element:

   <bindings>
     <webHttpBinding>
       <binding name="webHttps">
         <security mode="Transport" />
       </binding>
     </webHttpBinding>
   </bindings>
   

   The updated web.config file now looks like this:

   <services>
     <service name="ICCImportSvc.WgnICCImportSvc">
       <endpoint 
        binding="webHttpBinding" 
        contract="ICCImportSvc.IWgnICCImportSvc" 
        bindingConfiguration="webHttps"/>
     </service>
   </services>
   <bindings>
     <webHttpBinding>
       <binding name="webHttps">
         <security mode="Transport" />
       </binding>
     </webHttpBinding>
   </bindings>
   

5. Verify that SSL is configured in Microsoft IIS.

   The CA DataMinder import web service will accept requests using HTTPS.
