<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure security for iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web</h1>
|
|
<div><p>If you are accessing the iSeries™ Navigator tasks on the Web interface
|
|
over an external network, such as the Internet, it is recommended that you
|
|
connect using a secure HTTP connection. Additionally, if the server hosting
|
|
the iSeries Navigator
|
|
Tasks on the Web interface resides outside of a firewall, or if you are managing
|
|
a secondary system outside of a firewall, it is recommended that you also
|
|
configure the IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox
|
|
for Java™ to
|
|
establish secure socket connections for data access.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>It is important to consider the security configuration needed
|
|
to adequately ensure protection of sensitive data such as userIDs and passwords.
|
|
The iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web interface can be configured to require secure connections,
|
|
not use secure connections, or somewhere in between. As shipped, the iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web interface is configured to send warning messages to the user
|
|
if secure connections are not used. You should evaluate the security needs
|
|
for your environment and either change the security configuration for the iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web interface, or configure secure connections.</p>
|
|
<p>There are
|
|
two kinds of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections that you need to consider
|
|
configuring in order to run iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web securely:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>The first type of SSL connection is used in a connection between
|
|
a Web browser and the iSeries system that is hosting iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>The second type of SSL connection is used by the iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web interface to retrieve data from the local iSeries and
|
|
any managed secondary systems.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>By default, iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web is configured
|
|
to warn users if SSL is not used for all connections. You should evaluate
|
|
your security requirements, and do one or both of the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Configure and use one or both kinds of SSL connections.</li>
|
|
<li>Change the iSeries Navigator
|
|
tasks on the Web configuration parameters to treat non-secure connections
|
|
differently. Options include making SSL connections required, not required,
|
|
not used, or give a warning.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>See the following topics for more information about each type of connection
|
|
and options for using them:</p>
|
|

<ul class="ullinks">
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzatgsecurityweb.htm">Configure Web browser connections to iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web</a></strong><br />
|
|
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.</li>
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzatgsecuritytoolbox.htm">Configure data-retrieval connections to the local system and managed secondary systems</a></strong><br />
|
|
Any time iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web retrieves data
|
|
from OS/400<sup>®</sup>,
|
|
either on the local iSeries or any managed secondary systems, the IBM Toolbox
|
|
for Java is
|
|
used to create a socket connection for data retrieval.</li>
