<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up certificates for the first time</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Use this information to learn how to get started managing
|
||
|
|
certificates from a public Internet Certificate Authority (CA) or how to create
|
||
|
|
and operate a private Local CA to issue certificates.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The left frame of Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) is the task navigation
|
||
|
|
frame. You can use this frame to select a wide variety of tasks for managing
|
||
|
|
certificates and the applications that use them. Which tasks are available
|
||
|
|
depends on which certificate store (if any) you work with and your user profile
|
||
|
|
special authorities. Most tasks are available only if you have *ALLOBJ and
|
||
|
|
*SECADM special authorities. To use DCM to verify object signatures, your
|
||
|
|
user profile must also have *AUDIT special authority.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">When you use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) for the first time, no certificate
|
||
|
|
stores exist. Consequently, when you initially access DCM, the navigation
|
||
|
|
pane displays only these tasks and only when you have the necessary special
|
||
|
|
authorities: <ul><li>Manage User Certificates. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Create New Certificate Store.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Create a Certificate Authority (CA). (Note: After you use this task to
|
||
|
|
create a private Local CA, this task no longer appears in the list.)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Manage CRL Locations.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Manage LDAP Location.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Manage PKIX Request Location.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Return to <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Tasks.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Even if certificate stores already exist on your system (for example, you
|
||
|
|
are migrating from an earlier version of DCM), DCM displays only a limited
|
||
|
|
number of tasks or task categories in the left navigation frame. Which tasks
|
||
|
|
or categories DCM displays varies based on the certificate store (if any)
|
||
|
|
that is open and the special authorities for your user profile. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You must first access the appropriate certificate store before you can
|
||
|
|
begin working with most certificate and application management tasks. To open
|
||
|
|
a specific certificate store, click <span class="uicontrol">Select a Certificate Store</span> in
|
||
|
|
the navigation frame.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The navigation frame of DCM also provides a <span class="uicontrol">Secure Connection</span> button.
|
||
|
|
You can use this button to display a second browser window to initiate a secure
|
||
|
|
connection by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). To use this function successfully,
|
||
|
|
you must first configure the <span class="keyword">IBM<sup>®</sup> HTTP Server for i5/OS™</span>
|
||
|
|
to use SSL to operate in secure mode. You must then start the HTTP Server
|
||
|
|
in secure mode. If you have not configured and started the HTTP Server for
|
||
|
|
SSL operation, you will see an error message and your browser will not start
|
||
|
|
a secure session.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="uicontrol">Getting started</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Although you may want to use certificates to accomplish a number of security-related
|
||
|
|
goals, what you do first depends on how you plan to obtain your certificates.
|
||
|
|
There are two primary paths that you can take when you first use DCM, based
|
||
|
|
on whether you intend to use public certificates versus issuing private certificates. </p>
