Re: Book to implement SSL -- WEB400

This isn't what he's trying to do. All he's trying to do is setup SSL
for his web server. There's no need to write a program to do this.

Hi Pugazh;

If you are doing it the programmatic way you have (at least) two choices
- 
GSK or plain SSL. I have used the last (ssl.h) and it has all I require:

Besides you only have to initialize the SSL with a certificate from the 
certificate store on your system i - you can find that by referring to
your 
system i in a browser and the port 2001 like

http://MySystemI:2001

and create a certificate. Place it under 
/QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/CERTAUTH/DEFAULT.KDB  - and then you are good
to 
go.

You have at least five algorithms to provide when you are doing SSL - I
use 
the RSA version RC4/128 bit which has enough strength and is fast at the

same time .....

In IceBreak the underlying code looks like:

if (svr00r.SVPROT != PROTOCOL_HTTPS) {
    http.pSsl = SSL_Create(Socket , SSL_DONT_ENCRYPT);
} else {
   SSLInit sslinit;
   USHORT cipher = SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA;
   svr00r.SVCEPF.data[svr00r.SVCEPF.len] =0;
   if (BeginsWith(svr00r.SVCEPF.data , "*DFT")) {
      sslinit.keyringFileName    = 
"/QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/CERTAUTH/DEFAULT.KDB";
   } else {
      sslinit.keyringFileName    = svr00r.SVCEPF.data;
   }
   svr00r.SVCEPW.data[svr00r.SVCEPW.len] =0;
   sslinit.keyringPassword    = svr00r.SVCEPW.data;
   sslinit.cipherSuiteList    = &cipher;
   sslinit.cipherSuiteListLen = 1;
   rc = SSL_Init(&sslinit);
   if (rc < 0) {
      trace ( "SSL initialization failed reason %d error: %s", rc, 
strerror(errno)) ;
   }
   http.pSsl = SSL_Create(Socket , SSL_ENCRYPT);
/* set up parameters for handshake */
   http.pSsl->protocol = 0;
   http.pSsl->timeout = 0;
   http.pSsl->cipherSuiteList = &cipher;
   http.pSsl->cipherSuiteListLen = 1;
   rc = SSL_Handshake(http.pSsl, SSL_HANDSHAKE_AS_SERVER);
   if (rc < 0) {
       trace ("SLL Handshake failed reason %d Error: %s", rc, 
strerror(errno));
   }
}



Finaly you have to terminate the SSL with SLL_Destroy ....
