Client certificate for self-signed server
|
|
|
| Hi,
I'm running some basic tests to use certificate authentication (IHS 6.0 on AIX 5.2)
By now, I use for my server a basic self-signed certificate, but I can't find how to generate my client certificates. It seems that a "CA utility" exists for 390 platform (a servlet to install under WAS) but I can't find the right way to do so for AIX.
Please, has somebody any idea on this subject ?

| I am guessing that you need a client certificate on the PC. If that is the
case then use ikeyman on the PC to generate a PKCS12 certificate database
and create a self signed certificate for yourself. Make sure that you
extract this certificate and add it to the signer certificates in the
server's key database.
When you web application asks for client certificate point your browser to
the PC based PKCS12 file (or you can import the certificate from the PKCS12
file to your browser's certificate store)
