SSL Configuration

SSL is used to encrypt communication between the synch agent and the Provisioning server. This is important for the synch agent because SSL sends passwords across the network. SSL is recommended to always be used.

The synch agent must trust the Provisioning Server's certificate in order to connect with SSL. Therefore, the certificate must be installed on the iSeries machine and configured so that the certificate is trusted by the synch agent. These tasks are performed by the Digital Certificate Manager, an optional component of OS/400. Please follow the OS/400 documentation regarding installation and setup of the Digital Certificate Manager.
