NAME

 create-ssl - creates and configures the SSL element in the selected HTTP listener, IIOP listener, or IIOP service

SYNOPSIS

 create-ssl --user admin_user [--passwordfile filename] [--host host_name] [--port port_number] [--secure|-s] [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] [--help] [--target target] --type listener_or_service_type --certname cert_name [--ssl2enabled=false ] [--ssl2ciphers ss12ciphers] [--ssl3enabled=true ] [--tlsenabled=true ] [--ssl3tlsciphers ssl3tlsciphers] [--tlsrollbackenabled=true] [--clientauthenabled=false ] [listener_id]

DESCRIPTION

Creates and configures the SSL element in the selected HTTP listener, IIOP listener, or IIOP service in order to enable secure communication on that listener/service.

This command is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS

If an option has a short option name, then the short option preceeds the long option name. Short options have one dash whereas long options have two dashes.

-u --user

The authorized domain application server administrative username.

-w --password

The --password option is deprecated. Use --passwordfile instead.

--passwordfile

This option replaces the -- password option. Using the --password option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The --passwordfile option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_MQPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

-H --host

The machine name where the domain application server is running. The default value is localhost.

-p --port

The port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Platform Edition is 4848. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.

-s --secure

If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

-t --terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

-e --echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

-I --interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

-h --help

Displays the help text for the command.

--target

In Enterprise Edition, specifies the target to which you are deploying. Valid values are

• server, the server in which the iiop-service or listener is to be configured for SSL.

• config, the configuration that contains the listener or iiop-service for which SSL is to be configured.

• cluster, the cluster in which the listener or iiop-service is to be configured for SSL. All the server instances in the cluster will get the SSL configuration for the respective listener or iiop-service.

• instance, the instance in which the listener or iiop-service is to be configured for SSL.

The following optional attribute name/value pairs are available:

Property	Definition
type	The type of service or listener for which the SSL is created. The type can be http-listener, iiop-listener, or iiop-service.
certname	The nickname of the server certificate in the certificate database or the PKCS#11 token. The format of the name in the certificate is tokenname:nickname. For this property, the tokenname: is optional.
ssl2enabled	Set this property to true to enable SSL2. The default value is false. If both SSL2 and SSL3 are enabled for a virtual server, the server tries SSL3 encryption first. In the event SSL3 encryption fails, the server then tries SSL2 encryption.
ssl2ciphers	A comma-separated list of the SSL2 ciphers to be used. Use the prefix + to enable or -- to disable a particular cipher. Allowed values are: rc4, rc4export, rc2, rc2export, idea, des, and desede3. If no value is specified, all supported ciphers are assumed to be enabled.
ssl3enabled	Set this property to false to disable SSL3. The default value is true. If both SSL2 and SSL3 are enabled for a virtual server, the server tries SSL3 encryption first. In the event SSL3 encryption fails, the server then tries SSL2 encryption.
tlsenabled	Set this property to false to disable TLS. The default value is true It is good practice to enable TLS, which is a more secure version of SSL.
ssl3tlsciphers	A comma-separated list of the SSL3 and/or TLS ciphers to be used. Use the prefix + to enable or -- to disable a particular cipher. Allowed SSL3 values are rsa_rc4_128_md5, rsa3des_sha, rsa_des_sha, rsa_rc4_40_md5, rsa_rc2_40_md5, and rsa_null_md5. Allowed TLS values are rsa_des_56_sha and rsa_rc4_56_sha. If no value is specified, all supported ciphers are assumed to be enabled.
tlsrollbackenabled	Set to true (default) to enable TLS rollback. TLS rollback should be enabled for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5. This option is only valid in the Enterprise Edition. This option is only valid when tlsenabled=true.
clientauthenabled	Set to true if you want SSL3 client authentication performed on every request independent of ACL-based access control. Default value is false.

OPERANDS

listener_id

The ID of the listener for which the SSL element is to be created. The listener_id is not required if the --type is iiop-service.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Using create-ssl

The following example shows how to create an SSL element for an HTTP listener named http-listener-1.

asadmin> create-ssl --user admin --host fuyako --port 7070 
--passwordfile adminpassword.txt --type http-listener --certname sampleCert http-listener-1
Created SSL in HTTP Listener
