Re: Certificates for a web service -- WEB400

Bradley

to be frank certificates is for me an area I don't really want to work with
since
I probably only have to install a certificate with years apart.

If you are used to work with certificates can I buy a little consultance to
make
this work.

The scenario is that we have a IBM I running HTTPS on Apache, I have made
a little web-service that a English windows environment has to reach over
HTTPS

They are asking question I simple has no idear how to answer, but I have a
tight
schedule to get it up and running so i need a middleman that can solve the
HTTPS
issue.

Is that a job for you?

working from a browser doesn't mean it will work on any client.

Have them install the CA chain so it's trusted. I bet it will work after
that.

It is a GlobalSign certificate, if it is self-signed I don't know but it

If so, they'll need to "trust" the CAs in the cert chain.

They may have to do this even if it's not self-signed and they don't
already have the CAs in their trust list.

Hi,

I have at Apache running a websystem under HTTPS and the certificate

is

public
managed by a CA.

Now we have to set up a CGI program that acts like a web-service

betwwen

a

windows server and the Apache environment.

From a browser I can run the web-service under HTTPS but the windows

guy's

what to have a public key to the certificate.

Why an't they just point to the DNS (https://www.xxxxx.com) and then

go

into HTTPS
mode?
