Configuring for SSL communication

The Operations Center uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) to communicate with web browsers. You can optionally use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to secure communications between the Operations Center and the hub server, and between the hub server and associated spoke servers.

Configuring for SSL communication between the Operations Center and the hub server
To use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to secure communications between the Operations Center and the hub server, you must add the SSL certificate of the hub server to the truststore file of the Operations Center.
Configuring for SSL communication between the hub server and a spoke server
To secure communications between the hub server and a spoke server by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, you must define the SSL certificate of the spoke server to the hub server. You must also configure the Tivoli® Storage Manager to monitor the spoke server.
Resetting the password for the Operations Center truststore file
To set up SSL communication between the Operations Center and the hub server, you must know the password for the truststore file of the Operations Center. You create this password during the installation of the Operations Center. If you do not know the password, you can reset it.
