Using SSL to encrypt data between IBM Toolbox for Java and i5/OS servers

You can use SSL to encrypt data exchanged between IBM^® Toolbox for Java™ classes and i5/OS™ servers.

Start of change On the client side, use JSSE to encrypt the data. On the server side, you must use the i5/OS digital certificate manager to configure the i5/OS servers to exchange encrypted data. End of change

Setting up your client and server to use SSL

To encrypt data flowing between the IBM Toolbox for Java classes and i5/OS servers, complete the following tasks:

Set up your servers to exchange encrypted data.
Use the SecureAS400 object to force IBM Toolbox for Java to encrypt data.
Note: Completing the first two steps above only creates a secure path between the client and the server. Your application must use the SecureAS400 object to tell the IBM Toolbox for Java which data to encrypt. Data that flows through the SecureAS400 object is the only data that is encrypted. If you use an AS400 object, data is not encrypted and the normal path to the server is used.
