Trust managers settings
This page enables you to view and set definitions for trust manager implementation settings. A trust manager is a class that gets invoked during a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) handshake to make trust decisions about the remote end point. A default trust manager is used to validate the signature and expiration of the certificate. Custom trust managers can be plugged in to perform an extended certificate and hostname check.

Specifies the scope where this Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration is visible. For example, if you choose a specific node, then the configuration is only visible on that node and any servers that are part of that node.
This field is not editable and provides information only.
Standard
Specifies that the trust manager selection is available from a Java™ provider that is installed in the java.security file. This provider might be shipped by the Java Secure Sockets Extension (JSSE) or might be a custom provider that implements the javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager interface.
| Information | Value |
|---|---|
| Default: | Enabled |
Provider
Specifies the provider name that has an implementation of the javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager interface. This provider is typically set to IBMJSSE2.
| Information | Value |
|---|---|
| Default | IBMJCE |
Algorithm
Specifies the algorithm name of the trust manager implemented by the selected provider.
| Information | Value |
|---|---|
| Default | ibmX509 or IbmPKIX |
| Range | ibmX509, IbmPKIX |
Custom
Specifies that the trust manager selection is based on a custom implementation class that implements the javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager interface and optionally the com.ibm.wsspi.ssl.TrustManagerExctendedInfo interface to obtain additional connection information that is not otherwise available.
| Information | Value |
|---|---|
| Default: | Disabled |
Class name
Specifies a class that implements the javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager interface. Optionally, the class can implement the com.ibm.wsspi.ssl.TrustMangerExtendedInfo interface to get extended information about the connection. The class can use the information to verify the host name and so on.
