Configuring SSL for IHS and the WebSphere plugin

So far, we have only covered how to configure the HTTP port 80 for use with IHS, the plugin, and WAS. In production systems, it will most probably be a requirement that HTTP/S port 443 be enabled. The following steps outline how to configure SSL for IHS and the plugin.

Creating a self-signed SSL certificate

  1. First, we need to generate a new self-signed certificate that requires the use of the ikeyman utility shipped with IHS.
  2. Run the following command to start the ikeyman utility:
    • For Linux:
      <ihs_install_root>/bin/ikeyman.sh
      
    • For Windows:
      <ihs_install_root>\bin\ikeyman.bat
