Brand new to the administration end of things... but doing well so far I
believe in setting up ssl with certificates on the server.

Objective: create ssl http server, create certificate, export off iSeries
to any off platform calls into the server via http.

so far...

1.) used DCM to create *system cert store
2.) used DCM to create local CA
3.) used DCM to create certificate
- have attempted to use DCM methods to export the file off the i.
From copy/paste of the certificate info along with the export button
feature to move the certificate to the IFS as a .pfx file.
4.) created http server, using the ssl config wizard for ssl.

I am using postman now to test my api call. using the certificate info i
"exported" of the i.
(btw the api call from postman works fine when using regular http
(user/pass) auth... so no problems with the entire process of consuming the
api off platform - i'm just stuck now implementing this ssl security)

Through many trial and errors, and many different responses I feel I am
closest at this point... I am getting a...

403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

I can provide error log info as well as other diagnostics from postman if
needed.

I feel my issue is how I'm exporting and extracting the certificate info to
my pc. I seem to be missing a public key. I only have a CRT and PFX file
to provide to postman... i'm missing the KEY file.

any help would be greatly appreciated!
