Configuring SSL on DB2

You can configure SSL for a secure connection between Sterling B2B Integrator and DB2.
For more information on how to configure SSL on a DB2 instance, see IBM DB2 Documentation.

At present, Sterling B2B Integrator supports SSL encryption mechanism using the Java Key Store (JKS) files.

To convert the DB2 server key files b2biclient.arm or b2biclient.cer, use the following commands:

keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias b2bidb2 -file b2biclient.arm -keystore key.jks -storepass password -keypass password
keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias keyAlias -file server.cer -keystore cacerts.jks -keypass changeit
Note:
  • The keytool is located in the <B2Bi_install>/jdk/bin directory.
  • The SSL feature is configured on DB2 v11.1 or later versions.
  • At present, only one-way SSL is supported.
