Manual SSL configuration in IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 System (1)

Today, we mainly describe how to manually configure SSL in the IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 system. We all know that in the IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 system, in general, the SSL protocol is required.

When installing the IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 system, the installer can complete the SSL configuration in the ibm http Server. The system administrator can also manually configure SSL using the instructions provided by IBM DB2 Content Manager V83. Here are some introductions and instructions for configuring SSL manually.

Note:

In the IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 system, the SSL protocol is required. When installing the IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 system, the installer can complete the SSL configuration in the ibm http Server. In the following cases, the Administrator may need to manually complete the SSL Configuration:

1. SSL is not selected when IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 is installed;

2. The system is upgraded from IBM DB2 Content Manager V82 to V83;

3. After IBM DB2 Content Manager V83 is installed, the Websphere Application Server is upgraded from V5 to V6, or the ibm http Server is re-installed;

4. When installing IBM DB2 Content Manager V83, the typical installation is selected;

In the cases listed above, the SSL of ibm http Server cannot be automatically configured by the installation program of IBM DB2 Content Manager V83. After the Administrator completes the installation of IBM DB2 Content Manager V83, manual configuration based on the actual needs of the system. The specific SSL configuration steps are as follows:

1. For Windows operating systems, open a command window and go to the configuration directory of IBM DB2 Content Manager V83. The default value is C: \ Program Files \ IBM \ db2cmv8 \ config.

For UNIX or Linux operating systems, log on to the system as the root user and go to the/opt/IBM/db2cmv8/config directory.

2. Use the following command to set the environment variable:

For Windows:

 
 

  
  
set JAVA_HOME=C:\WebSphere60\AppServer\java   
  
  
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%  
 
 

For UNIX operating systems:

 
 

  
  
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/IBM/WebSphere60/AppServer/java   
  
  
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH  
 
 

3. for Windows, you also need to modify the PATH environment variable and add the LIB directory of GSK. The command is as follows:

 
 

  
  
set PATH=C:\Program Files\ibm\gsk7\lib;%PATH%  
 
 

4. After completing the preceding environment configuration, you can run the RMUpdateSSL command to configure SSL. This command is a command contained in IBM DB2 Content Manager V83. The command execution syntax is as follows:

 
 

  
  
java RMUpdateSSL <HTTPServer_conf_directory>  
 
 

<HTTPServer_conf_directory> indicates the conf directory of the ibm http Server.
