<h1 class="topictitle1">Digital Certificate Manager</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A digital certificate is an electronic credential that you can use to establish
|
||
|
|
proof of identity in an electronic transaction. There are an increasing number
|
||
|
|
of uses for digital certificates to provide enhanced network security measures.
|
||
|
|
For example, digital certificates are essential to configuring and using the <a href="../rzain/rzainoverview.htm"> Secure Sockets
|
||
|
|
Layer (SSL)</a>. Using SSL allows you to create secure connections between
|
||
|
|
users and server applications across an untrusted network, such as the Internet.
|
||
|
|
SSL provides one of the best solutions for protecting the privacy of sensitive
|
||
|
|
data, such as user names and passwords, over the Internet. Many <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> services
|
||
|
|
and applications, such as FTP, Telnet, HTTP Server provide SSL support to
|
||
|
|
ensure data privacy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="keyword">iSeries</span> provides extensive
|
||
|
|
digital certificate support that allows you to use digital certificates as
|
||
|
|
credentials in a number of security applications. In addition to using certificates
|
||
|
|
to configure SSL, you can use them as credentials for client authentication
|
||
|
|
in both SSL and virtual private network (VPN) transactions. Also, you can
|
||
|
|
use digital certificates and their associated security keys to <a href="../rzalz/rzalzosintro.htm">sign objects</a>. Signing
|
||
|
|
objects allows you to detect changes or possible tampering to object contents
|
||
|
|
by verifying signatures on the objects to ensure their integrity.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Capitalizing on the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> support
|
||
|
|
for certificates is easy when you use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM), a
|
||
|
|
free feature, to centrally manage certificates for your applications. DCM
|
||
|
|
allows you to manage certificates that you obtain from any Certificate Authority
|
||
|
|
(CA). Also, you can use DCM to create and operate your own Local CA to issue
|
||
|
|
private certificates to applications and users in your organization. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Proper planning and evaluation are the keys to using certificates effectively
|
||
|
|
for their added security benefits. You might review these topics to learn
|
||
|
|
more about how certificates work and how you can use DCM to manage them and
|
||
|
|
the applications that use them:</p>
