Configuration of Applications to Use SSL/TLS
When you receive your signed certificate back from the public Certificate Authority (CA), you can continue the process of enabling Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) communications for your public application. You must configure your application to use SSL/TLS before working with your signed certificate.
Some applications, such as the IBM HTTP Server for IBM i generate a unique application ID. Register the application ID with the Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) when you configure the application to use SSL/TLS. You must know the application ID before you use DCM to assign your signed certificate to it and complete the SSL/TLS configuration process.
How you configure your application to use SSL/TLS varies based on the application. This scenario does not assume a specific source for the rate calculating application that it describes because there are a number of ways that MyCo, Inc. might provide this application to its agents.
To configure your application to use SSL/TLS, follow the instructions that your application documentation provides. When you complete the SSL/TLS configuration for your application, you can configure the signed public certificate for the application so that it can initiate SSL/TLS sessions.
