22 iSeries Access for Web V5R2 and WebSphere Host Publisher V4.0
2.6 Setting up a secure iSeries connection
Allowing access to the iSeries from a Web browser over the Internet opens the iSeries server
to security risks. You should always assume that any data that is accessed from a Web
browser is subject to scrutiny and possible interference form outside sources. To secure the
flow of data to an Internet connected browser session, we recommend that you configure the
SSL protocol to the iSeries server.
Required software
The following software is required on the iSeries server to enable the SSL protocol:
IBM Digital Certificate Manager
TCP/IP Connectivity Tools
One of the Cryptographic Access Provider products
Refer to Table 2-4 on page 13 for the product identifiers of the required products. Refer to
iSeries Access for Web
, SC41-5518, for details on SSL.
The iSeries Information Center also provides detailed references for setting up SSL on an
iSeries server. You can find the iSeries Information Center on the Web at:
