SSL with Content Manager OnDemand

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS), encrypts all transmissions between the Content Manager OnDemand servers and many of the supported clients (for example, the OnDemand Windows client, the ODWEK Java™ API, and the ARSDOC program). The CICS® client does not support SSL connections.

If you are not familiar with how a server and a client establish an SSL connection, see Overview of the SSL handshake. Before you continue reading these instructions, verify that you understand the information in SSL, certificates, certificate authorities, and public-key cryptography.
