Configuring application servers

You can use the administration API to configure and unconfigure authorization and administration servers, modify configuration parameters, administer replicas, and perform certificate maintenance.

These APIs are used by the svrsslcfg command-line utility instead of the pdadmin command-line utility.

The svrsslcfg command-line utilitycom.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg class is used to perform the necessary configuration steps that allow an application to use a secure sockets layer (SSL) connection for communicating with the policy server or the authorization server.

It is not intended to do all the configuration that might be required to ensure a correctly functioning application.

Note: The local host name is used to build a unique name for the application. In some cases, depending on the TCP/IP configuration, the host name is not always consistent and might result in lookup failures. For example, the operating system might return the fully qualified host name while another system might return the host name. If this situation happens in your network, use the following format to specify the server name to the command-line interface:
server_name/desired_host_name
For the API, these parameters are separate. The desired_host_name must be specified for the host_name parameter.
