Part 1 and Part 2 of this three-part tutorial series showed you how to develop Web services and clients, and configure HTTP basic authentication. In this final installment, you create a self-signed certificate, key store, trust store, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration using the IBM® WebSphere® Administrative Console. Then you configure HTTPS for your Web services and Web services client, and test HTTPS Web services from both a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client.

Objectives

  • Create the keystore, trust store, and certificate for the Web services provider.

  • Create an SSL configuration for the Web services provider.

  • Create a new Web container transport chain to use the new SSL configuration for the Web services provider.

  • Configure HTTPS for the Web service client.

  • Test HTTPS Web services from the Java EE client.

  • Test HTTPS Web services from the stand-alone Java client.

You need to install IBM Rational® Application Developer V7 with the latest fixes. (You can download a trial copy of Rational Application Developer from developerWorks if you haven't purchased the license.) If you're not sure if your instance Rational Application Developer V7 is at the latest level, you can go to the IBM Installation Manager and select Update Packages to see if new updates are available. At the time of this writing, the latest version of Rational Application Developer was 7.0.0.5. (Note: IBM generally releases a fix pack approximately every three months. You may see a newer version of Rational Application Developer at the time of installation. Each new version of Rational Application Developer contains large quantities of fixes. We recommend that you install the latest version to avoid encountering problems that have already been fixed.)
