Connecting to IBM WebSphere Application Server

Copy all .jar files into a local directory.

The .jar files are located in the WebSphere_Home/AppServer/runtimes directory, where WebSphere_Home is the directory your IBM WebSphere Application Server installs into.

For more information about the server JAR files, see related documents from your EJB server vendor.

Copy the following files from the IBM WebSphere Application Server to the local directory:

WebSphere_Home/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/ssl.client.props
WebSphere_Home/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/sas.client.props

At a command prompt, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/tibcojre/version_number/bin directory, and then type the following command: keytool.exe.

For example:

keytool.exe -genkey -v alias test -keystore D:/key.jks
-storepass password

The key store files, key.jks and trust.jks, are created after this step.

Modify the ssl.client.props file to customize your environment. You can obtain the file from the WebSphere Application Server installation.

com.ibm.ssl.protocol=SSL
com.ibm.ssl.trustManager=SunX509
com.ibm.ssl.keyManager=SunX509
com.ibm.ssl.contextProvider=SunJSSE
com.ibm.ssl.keyStoreType=JKS
com.ibm.ssl.keyStoreProvider=SUN
com.ibm.ssl.keyStore=/home/user1/etc/key.jks
com.ibm.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS
com.ibm.ssl.trustStoreProvider=SUN
com.ibm.ssl.trustStore=/home/user1/etc/trust.jks

For more information, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS7JFU_8.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.express.doc/info/exp/ae/tcli_ejbthinclient.html.

Create a .properties file with file name jndi.properties in the local directory and add the following JVM parameters:

com.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL references a file URL that points to the ssl.client.props file.
com.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL references a file URL that points to the sas.client.props file.
com.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output with a value of NUL.

For example:

-com.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/ssl.client.props"
-com.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/sas.client.props"
-com.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output=NUL

Expand the created project in the Project Explorer view, drag the local directory to the lib folder.

Click Link to files and folders in the prompted File and Folder Operation dialog and press Enter.

Note: If you want to deploy the application to TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, click Copy files and folders.

Before running a process, from the Run menu, click Run > Run Configurations. Select the Arguments tab and add the following JVM parameters in the VM arguments.

Dcom.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL references a file URL that points to the ssl.client.props file.
Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL references a file URL that points to the sas.client.props file.
Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output with a value of NUL.

For example:

-Dcom.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/ssl.client.props"
-Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/sas.client.props"
-Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output=NUL

Note: If you want to deploy the application to TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, navigate to the TIBCO_HOME/bw/6.2/bin directory, and add the following content in the bwcommon.tra file:

java.extended.properties=-Dcom.ibm.SSL.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/ssl.client.props" -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL="file:///home/user1/sas.client.props" -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output=NUL
