Define SSL Communications

Use the startup option, S, to specify that you want to use secure socket layer (SSL) communications for WebView communications. You must specify the S option three times, as shown in this excerpt from a SYSIN configuration file:

Set SSL mode on and specify the path to the SSL keyring.
```
-S PATH /sys/usr/lpp/opsmvsc/cpp/skeys.kdb
```
Use this password to open the keyring.
```
-S PASS password
```
SSL searches 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.

Important! Java Run Time Environment 5.0 minimum is required to run SSL in the WebView clients.

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.
