|

|
|
<div><p>A company has a local area network (LAN) that includes several iSeries
|
||
|
|
servers in their office. This company's system administrator, Bob, has specified
|
||
|
|
one of the iSeries servers as the central system (hereafter referred to as
|
||
|
|
System A) for the LAN. Bob uses the Management Central server on System A
|
||
|
|
to manage all of the other endpoints on his LAN.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Bob is concerned about connecting to the Management Central server on System
|
||
|
|
A from a network connection that is external to his company's LAN. Bob travels
|
||
|
|
for work a lot, and requires a secure connection to the Management Central
|
||
|
|
server while he is away. He wants to ensure the connection between his PC
|
||
|
|
and the Management Central server is secure when he is not in the company
|
||
|
|
office. Bob decides to enable SSL on his PC and on the System A's Management
|
||
|
|
Central server. With SSL enabled in this way, Bob can be certain that his
|
||
|
|
connection to the Management Central server is secure when he is traveling.</p>

<div><p>Bob wants to secure the connection between his PC and the Management Central

server. Bob does not require additional security for the connection between
|

|
|
the Management Central server on System A and the endpoints that are on the
|
||
|
|
LAN. Other employees that work from the company office do not need additional
|
||
|
|
security for their connections to the Management Central server, either. Bob's
|
||
|
|
plan is to configure his PC and the Management Central server on System A,
|
||
|
|
so that his connection uses server authentication. Connections to the Management
|
||
|
|
Central server from other PCs or iSeries servers on the LAN are not secured

with SSL.</p>

<p><strong>Server authentication</strong> means that Bob's PC authenticates the Management
|
||
|
|
Central server's certificate. Bob's PC acts as an SSL client when connecting
|
||
|
|
to the Management Central server. The Management Central server acts as an
|

|
|
SSL server and must prove its identity. The Management Central server does
|
||
|
|
this by providing a certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) that
|

Bob's PC trusts.</p>
