Configuring Application Server 8.1 With SSL

The basic steps to configure Application Server 8.1 with SSL are as follows. See the Application Server 8.1 documentation for detailed instructions.

1. Create a secure port on the Application server through the Application Server Administration console. For more information, see “Configuring Security” in the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 Administration Guide.

2. Verify that the certificate authority (CA) that trusts the server's certificate is present in the web container's trust database. Then, obtain and install a server certificate for the web container. For more information, see “Working with Certificates and SSL” also in the Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 Administration Guide.
