Configuring SSL for IBM Content Search Services

IBM® Content Search Services can communicate with Content Platform Engine on both secure and nonsecure channels. You can configure IBM Content Search Services to communicate over a secure connection by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly used protocol that provides secure connections by letting applications that connect over a network authenticate their identity to each other. SSL also encrypts the data that is exchanged between the applications.

With IBM FileNet® Content Engine, you can configure secure channels for IBM Content Search Services on different levels. Based on your specific requirements, you can configure SSL on the following levels:
Restriction: Each of these levels is dependent on the previous levels. For example, to perform level 3, you must first configure level 1 and level 2.
Note: The person responsible for configuring SSL for IBM Content Search Services must have good SSL configuration experience. For example, they need to know how to use the Java keytool.exe, and know how to generate certificates singed by Certificate Authorities.
