About this task
You can enable SSL by following the instructions in
Implementing SSL authentication on z/OS. This topic describes an alternative
method that uses AT-TLS to enable SSL without the need to complete
configuration steps in
IBM Integration Bus.
AT-TLS provides the following benefits when using SSL/TLS protocols
with
IBM Integration Bus on
z/OS:
- AT-TLS uses RACF® key rings
and certificates.
- The Policy Agent (PAGENT) manages the rules and policies that
define how SSL is used to connect to IBM Integration Bus.
- PAGENT can distribute the rules and policies in a z/OS SYSPLEX environment.
- The IBM Integration Bus administrator does
not have to set any IBM Integration Bus properties
for SSL.
- HTTP or SOAP nodes in message flows can have standard HTTP settings
(no SSL/HTTPS).
To configure AT-TLS in your z/OS environment for IBM Integration Bus , complete the following steps:
