Central server with SSL</h1>
<div><p>This topic shows the expanded configurations steps for using SSL
to secure a client connection to your Management Central server.</p>
<div class="p"><p>The following information assumes you have read through the <a href="secclientmc.htm#secclientmc">Scenario: Secure a client connection to
your Management Central server with SSL</a>. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <p>In this scenario, an iSeries™ server is specified as the central
system in a company's local area network (LAN). Bob uses the Management Central
server on the central system (referred to here as System A) to manage the
endpoints on the company network. The following information explains how to
perform the steps required to secure an external client connection to the
Management Central server. Follow along as Bob completes the scenario configuration
steps.</p>
