EJB over SSL from thick client to the WAS server using RMI/IIOP

  • 1.  EJB over SSL from thick client to the WAS server using RMI/IIOP

    Posted 12/14/15 08:30 PM

    Hello Friends,

    I have a thick client which connects to the EJB application installed on a standalone WAS 8.5 server over RMI/IIOP.


    I wish to secure the EJB calls using SSL.

    What changes to I need to make on the WAS server and the thick client for this to function.


    The Thick client is using JAVA installed on my laptop. Its Sun Java .

    While the WAS used IBM Java.


    I modified the ssl.client.props file and sas.client.props file in the thick client .
    On WAS server changed the CSIV2 Inbound communication under RMI/IIOP security option(in global security) to "SSL-Required". It was "SSL-Supported" before.

    But its still not working.Can you please advise what steps I am missing here? 

    Can anyone please provide any URL showing the detailed procedure showing how this can be done.

    ---
    I have added the signers from the WAS to the thick client java trust store. The trust store file is nothing but the cacerts file which come in the JAVA installed on my laptop.
    The path to this cacerts files is provided in the ssl.client.props file in the thick client too.   
    Thanks,
    Kushal Chaudhary
