Book Description:
This Redbook is the first publication that provides a complete picture of how digital certificates can be used for security on the AS/400 system.
One of the reasons why many customers should consider using digital certificates is to secure their Internet and intranet applications. Almost every Internet application requires a user ID and password. Rarely does one user get a single user ID for different applications. As a result, the user has to remember several IDs and passwords. The worst case is that users start to write down their passwords, which weakens the security policies that are in place. The answer is to get rid of the many user IDs and passwords by using digital certificates.
For applications and servers that already support client authentication through digital certificates, there is no need to use user IDs and passwords anymore. A single certificate issued by a well-known Certificate Authority can serve as an identifier of an entity for many applications.
This Redbook describes what you can do with digital certificates on the AS/400 system. It provides information and sample code of how to use AS/400 system APIs to manage and use digital certificates in user applications. It also gives a basic introduction to the terms and technologies used when dealing with digital certificates and the Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Upon completion of this book, you will be able to:
• Set up the various servers and clients to use certificates
• Use AS/400 system APIs to manage and use digital certificates in user applications
• Deal with digital certificates and the Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
