In part 2 of this series, we configure HTTPS for a Web services application. We create a self-signed certificate using iKeyman and configure SSL settings using IBM WebSphere® Admin Console. Finally, we test HTTPS Web services from both a Java™ 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) client.
