<h1 class="topictitle1">Create and operate a local Certificate Authority on the MyCo iSeries™
server</h1>
<div><div class="section"><p>This scenario assumes that MyCo has not used Digital Certificate
Manager (DCM) previously to set up certificates for its iSeries™ server.
Based on the objectives for this scenario, MyCo has chosen to create and operate
a local Certificate Authority (CA) to issue a certificate to the FTP server.
However, MyCo can use DCM to configure the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
to use a public certificate for SSL instead.</p>
<p>When using Digital Certificate
Manager (DCM) to create a local CA, you are guided through a process that
ensures that you configure everything needed to enable Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL).</p>
<p>MyCo uses the following steps to create and operate a local CA
on their server, using the Digital Certificate Manager (DCM):</p>
</div>
<ol><li><span>Start DCM. </span></li>
<li><span>In the navigation frame of DCM, select <span class="uicontrol">Create a Certificate
Authority (CA)</span> to display a series of forms. These forms guide
you through the process of creating a local CA and completing other tasks
needed to begin using digital certificates for SSL, object signing, and signature
verification. </span></li>
<li><span>Complete all the forms that display. There is a form for each of
the tasks required to create and operate a local CA on the iSeries server. </span><ol type="a"><li class="substepexpand"><span>Choose how to store the private key for the local CA certificate.
This step is included only if you have an IBM<sup>®</sup> 4758-023 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor
installed on your iSeries server. If your system does not have a cryptographic
coprocessor, DCM automatically stores the certificate and its private key
in the local CA certificate store.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Provide identifying information for the local CA.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Install the local CA certificate on your PC or in your browser.
This enables software to recognize the local CA and validate certificates
that the CA issues.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Choose the policy data for your local CA.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Use the new local CA to issue a server or client certificate
that applications can use for SSL connections. If you have an IBM 4758-023 PCI
Cryptographic Coprocessor installed in the iSeries server, this step allows you
to select how to store the private key for the server or client certificate.
If your system does not have a coprocessor, DCM automatically places the certificate
and its private key in the *SYSTEM certificate store. DCM creates the *SYSTEM
certificate store as part of this task.</span></li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Select the applications that can use the server or client certificate
for SSL connections.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Be sure to select the application ID
for the i5/OS™ TCP/IP
FTP server (QIBM_QTMF_FTP_SERVER).</div>
</li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Use the new local CA to issue an object signing certificate
that applications can use to digitally sign objects. This creates the *OBJECTSIGNING
certificate store, which you use to manage object signing certificates.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Although this scenario does not use object signing certificates,
be sure to complete this step. If you cancel at this point in the task, the
task ends and you must perform separate tasks to complete your SSL certificate
configuration.</div>
</li>
<li class="substepexpand"><span>Select the applications that you want to trust the local CA.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Be sure to select the application ID for the i5/OS TCP/IP
FTP server (QIBM_QTMF_FTP_SERVER).</div>
