<div><p> Use this information to review two scenarios that illustrate typical
certificate implementation schemes to help you plan your own certificate implementation
as part of your <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> security
policy. Each scenario also provides all needed configuration tasks you must
perform to employ the scenario as described.</p>
<p>Digital Certificate Manager and <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> system
digital certificate support allow you to use certificates to enhance your
security policy in a number of different ways. How you choose to use certificates
varies based on both your business objectives and your security needs. </p>
<p>Using digital certificates can help you improve your security in a number
of ways. Digital certificates allow you to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
for secure access to Web sites and other Internet services. You can use digital
certificates to configure your virtual private network (VPN) connections.
Also, you can use a certificate's key to digitally sign objects or to verify
digital signatures to ensure the authenticity of objects. Such digital signatures
ensure the reliability of an object's origin and protect the integrity of
the object. </p>
<p>You can further augment system security by using digital certificates (instead
of user names and passwords) to authenticate and authorize sessions between
the server and users. Also, depending on how you configure DCM, you can use
DCM to associate a user's certificate with his or her <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> user
profile or an Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) identifier. The certificate
then has the same authorizations and permissions as the associated user profile.</p>
<p>Consequently, how you choose to use certificates can be complicated and
depends on a variety of factors. The scenarios provided in this topic describe
some of the more common digital certificate security objectives for secure
communication within typical business contexts. Each scenario also describes
all necessary system and software prerequisites and all the configuration
tasks that you must perform to carry out the scenario. </p>
