<h1 class="topictitle1">Create an application definition</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Review this topic to learn how about the two different
|
||
|
|
types of applications that you can define and work with.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>There are two types of application definitions that you can work
|
||
|
|
with in DCM: application definitions for server or client applications that
|
||
|
|
use SSL and application definitions that you use for signing objects. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To
|
||
|
|
use DCM to work with SSL application definitions and their certificates, the
|
||
|
|
application must first be registered with DCM as an application definition
|
||
|
|
so that it has a unique application ID. Application developers register SSL-enabled
|
||
|
|
applications by using an API (<a href="../apis/qsyrgap.htm">QSYRGAP, QsyRegisterAppForCertUse</a>) to create the application
|
||
|
|
ID in DCM automatically. All IBM<sup>®</sup> <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> SSL-enabled
|
||
|
|
applications are registered with DCM so that you can easily use DCM to assign
|
||
|
|
a certificate to them so that they can establish an SSL session. Also, for
|
||
|
|
applications that you write or purchase, you can define an application definition
|
||
|
|
and create the application ID for it within DCM itself. You must be working
|
||
|
|
in the *SYSTEM certificate store to create an SSL application definition for
|
||
|
|
either a client application or a server application.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use a certificate
|
||
|
|
to sign objects, you first must define an application for the certificate
|
||
|
|
to use. Unlike an SSL application definition, an object signing application
|
||
|
|
does not describe an actual application. Instead, the application definition
|
||
|
|
that you create might describe the type or group of objects that you intend
|
||
|
|
to sign. You must be working in the *OBJECTSIGNING certificate store to create
|
||
|
|
an object signing application definition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To create an application definition,
|
||
|
|
follow these steps: </p>
