IBM Toolbox for Java supports using Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) for Java Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. JSSE is available as an optional package to the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), versions 1.2 and 1.3. JSSE is integrated into J2SE, version 1.4.
For more information about JSSE, see the Sun
JSSE Web site .
JSSE provides the ability to perform server authentication, enable secure communications, and encrypt data. Using JSSE, you can provide for secure data exchange between clients and servers that run any application protocol (for example, HTTP and FTP) over TCP/IP.
After you install and configure JSSE, Toolbox for Java uses it by default. You should consider migrating to JSSE because sslight will no longer be enhanced. Information about using sslight to enable SSL is included for backward compatibility only.
Before you begin using SSL with IBM Toolbox for Java, you must understand your
legal responsibilities.
