Define SSL Communications

Use the startup option, S, to specify that secure socket layer (SSL) communications should be used for WebView communications. The S option must be specified three times, as shown in this excerpt from a SYSIN configuration file:

1. Set SSL mode on and specify the path to the SSL keyring

   -S PATH /sys/usr/lpp/opsmvsc/cpp/skeys.kdb
   

2. Use this password to open the keyring

   -S PASS password
   

3. SSL will search the keyring for a key having the following label

   -S LABEL label
   

SSL uses these settings to configure access to a digital certificate and then instruct the WebView server to use SSL.

The server runs in a USS environment as an MVS started task. It uses IBM SSL, and therefore uses IBM implementations of the keyring, keyring password, and key label. The IBM key management program is gskkyman, located in /usr/lpp/gskssl/bin in the HFS or zFS in compatibility mode.
