Task 1: Using self-signed certificates

Scenario:

On UNIX(R), Windows(R), and z/OS(R) systems, you can create self-signed certificates for testing.

On i5/OS(TM), you cannot create self-signed certificates. Use personal certificates signed by a local CA to test SSL on i5/OS. When testing on i5/OS, ensure that the other end of the test connection has a copy of your local CA's certificate. See Task 2: Using CA-signed certificates for more information.
