Internet Connections to CA XCOM Management Center

CA XCOM Management Center users can request secure communication with CA XCOM Management Center by using a modified internet address to access the CA XCOM Management Center web site. This address must commence with https, in place of http, and specify the appropriate https port number, as outlined in the chapter "Using CA XCOM Management Center through the Internet."

To enable the use of the https protocol for communication with the CA XCOM Management Center server

1. Configure JBoss to support SSL.

   Internally, JBoss uses Apache Tomcat Server, which handles SSL communication through the https protocol. Enabling support for SSL by the Tomcat server requires the following:

   • Installation of an X509 certificate within a keystore
   • Revision of the Tomcat configuration to turn on SSL, referencing the related keystore and certificate.

   Detailed information can be found on the http://tomcat.apache.org website and by searching the internet using the keywords “tomcat SSL configuration.”
