Configuring SSL Service on the i-Planet Gateway

Use the following procedures to configure SSL service if you want to use it in communicating with the i-Planet server or if you want to disable SSL service and communicate with i-Planet server in the clear.

If you enable or disable SSL service on the i-Planet gateway, you must also enable and disable it on the i-Planet server.

If you are enabling SSL service after you have installed i-Planet, the default port 443 will be used if you used the default installation. If you used the custom installation, the port that you specified during the installation will be used.

To Enable SSL Service on the i-Planet Gateway

1. As root on the i-Planet gateway, type the following to enable SSL service if you want encrypted communication with the i-Planet server:

   #  /opt/SUNWsnrp/bin/iplanet_gw ssl on r

   If you installed the i-Planet software using the default installation, the default SSL port 443 will be used. If you used the customized installation and specified another port for SSL, that port will be used.

2. Stop and restart the reverse proxy on the i-Planet gateway for the change to take effect.
