<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure Web browser connections to iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Ensure that iSeries™ Navigator Tasks on the Web is configured
|
||
|
|
with the desired behavior for handling SSL or non-secure connections from
|
||
|
|
browsers. Also, if you want to allow or require browser communications to
|
||
|
|
run across a secure connection, you will need to configure SSL for the Administration
|
||
|
|
instance of the HTTP Server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not use secure connections from Internet Web browsers to the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
tasks on the Web interface, your OS/400<sup>®</sup> userID and password could be easily
|
||
|
|
accessed by someone else on the network. If an external network, such as the
|
||
|
|
Internet, can be used for browser connections to the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web interface,
|
||
|
|
you should use SSL. If you want to allow secure connections from Internet
|
||
|
|
Web browsers to the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web interface, you
|
||
|
|
need to set up SSL for the Administration instance of the HTTP Server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Configure how iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web handles
|
||
|
|
HTTP SSL connections</h4><p>iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web gives
|
||
|
|
you the ability to require SSL connections from Internet Web browsers to the
|
||
|
|
HTTP Server, or gives you the option to warn users if an SSL connection is
|
||
|
|
not used. If your system is connected to the Internet, it is strongly recommended
|
||
|
|
that you use SSL. In this case, you might want to just warn users if an SSL
|
||
|
|
connection is not use, or require all browsers to use secure connections.
|
||
|
|
If you are behind a firewall, you may choose to run without SSL. In this case,
|
||
|
|
you can turn off the SSL warnings displayed, and SSL checking performed by
|
||
|
|
the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
tasks on the Web user interface. If you want iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web to
|
||
|
|
do something other than warn users if SSL connections are not used by Internet
|
||
|
|
Web browsers, you need to modify the iSeries Navigator tasks configuration.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>From
|
||
|
|
the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
Tasks on the Web home page (task=home), click the<strong>iSeries Navigator Tasks Configuration
|
||
|
|
page</strong> link. Select the desired SSL settings on the Configuration panel,
|
||
|
|
then click <strong>OK</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use the following values to change how SSL is
|
||
|
|
used:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">warning:</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>This is the default setting. When httpSSL is set to warning, the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
tasks on the Web interface will determine if SSL is being used during the
|
||
|
|
current session. If not, it will display a warning message for several seconds,
|
||
|
|
but it will still allow the user to connect. If SSL has been used by the browser
|
||
|
|
for the connection to the ADMIN server, no warning will be displayed.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">required:</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When <span class="uicontrol">httpSSL</span> is set to <span class="uicontrol">required</span>,
|
||
|
|
the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
tasks on the Web interface will determine if SSL is being used during the
|
||
|
|
current session. If not, it will deny the user access to the application.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">notrequired:</dt>
|

|
|
<dd>When <span class="uicontrol">httpSSL</span> is set to <span class="uicontrol">notrequired</span>,
|
||
|
|
both secure or non-secure connections to the iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web interface
|

will be accepted. The application will not check to see if SSL is being used

during the current session.</dd>
