RE: Providing web services using HTTPS

You have to config the server side to serve it as HTTPS. It's more than
just changing the URL. In the IBM Web Administrator for i screens, Find
the HTTP server that is serving your web service. You can either select
it from the HTTP Servers tab, or if you go to your server in the
Application Servers tab, there is a link on the left that will take you
to your http server. Click on the Security link on the left hand side
once you are in your http server config page, enable SSL, and fill out
all the required fields. The SSL advanced tab lets your control the TLS
versions and ciphers that you will accept.

Subject: Providing web services using HTTPS

I am setting up a web service following the methods described by Scott
Klement in his presentation at:

http://www.scottklement.com/presentations/Providing%20RPG%20Web%2
0Services%20on%20IBM%20i.pdf

I can get everything to work when using http:// but I'd like the

traffic to

happen of TLS 1.x instead of plain text. The web service runs on its

own port,

not 80 or 443. This works:

http://myserver.com:xxxx/yada/yada/yada

This does not work:

https://myserver.com:xxxx/yada/yada/yada

Nothing in the server instance httpd.conf seems to be related, other

than

the listen port of xxxx.

I also can't find discussion of this in the XMLHttpRequest docs at:

https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/

I can control both the client and server side, so one option would be

for me

to do my own encrypt / decrypt (and EBDIC conversion) and pass binary

data

instead of trying to piggy back off https support.

But is there a way to have the web service traffic just take advantage

of the

HTTPS support?
