RE: Re: Providing web services using HTTPS

I think, we have to configure DCM(Digital Certificate Manager) and, then,
enable SSL option, associate Application ID with SSL option.
Recently I developed web service based on REST, but, unable to try out with
SSL because of missing HTTP group PTFs. We have asked to download required
PTFs and then probably we will be able to deploy SSL enabled web service

RPG does indeed resolve to the data area for each IN operation. (But if
there had been a previous IN *LOCK, it wouldn't re-resolve until there was
an OUT without *LOCK, or an UNLOCK.)

Here's a little program you can use to test this out. Create a data area
called MYDTAARA *CHAR LEN(10) in QTEMP, with value 'qtemp', and another one
in some other library that's not in your library list, with some value other
than 'qtemp'.

When the command line pops up, add that other library to your library list.

dcl-s mydtaara char(10) dtaara;
dcl-pr qcmd extpgm end-pr;
in mydtaara;
dsply mydtaara;
qcmd();
in mydtaara;
dsply mydtaara;
return;

Here's my joblog:

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%20Services%2
0on%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?

By default http:// uses port 80. Also https:// uses port 443 by default.

If you're using SSL on a different port, you'll need to specify the port:

https://service.org:4433

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.

Sql has a lot easier way to access resources on the web, its functions
are powerful enough to access and consume data from many sources. for
example httpGetClob retrieve resources from a given URL using the get
method and httpPutClob Create textual resources in a given URL using the
put method, your don't even need to create REST or SOAP services on the web.

I'm not sure that I understand, how does the http clob functions allow
you to provide a web service. I haven't actually used them yet, but they
look to be clients to me, not servers.
