SSL Configuration
Using the SSL Configuration for HTTPS Connections dialog (accessed by configuring the Configure SSL button) you can specify the SSL parameters for the HTTP connection.
The following are the fields in the SSL Configuration for HTTPS Connections dialog:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Requires Client Authentication | Selecting this field requires clients to present their digital certificate before connecting to the HTTP server.
When this field is selected, the Trusted Certificates Folder becomes enabled so that you can specify a location containing the list of trusted certificate authorities. |
| Trusted Certificates Folder | This field is only applicable when the Requires Client Authentication field is selected.
This field specifies a folder in the project containing one or more certificates from trusted certificate authorities. This folder is selected when a client connects to ensure that the client is trusted. This prevents connections from rogue clients. |
| Identity | This is an Identity resource that contains the HTTP server’s digital certificate and private key. See Identity Resource Reference for more information. |
| Trust Store Password | Specifies the password for the truststore.
Note: There are no restrictions on the password that you use. Do not keep this field empty.
|
| Strong Cipher Suites Only | When selected, this field specifies that the minimum strength of the cipher suites used can be specified with the
bw.plugin.security.strongcipher.minstrength custom engine property. See
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Administration documentation for more information about this property. The default value of the property disables cipher suites with an effective key length below 128 bits.
When this field is not selected, only cipher suites with an effective key length of up to 128 bits can be used. |
