PowerExchange SSL Architecture

PowerExchange SSL Architecture

The PowerExchange SSL architecture includes the following components:
  • PowerExchange SSL configured on Linux, UNIX, or Windows machines, which make outbound client secure connections
  • PowerExchange SSL configured on Linux, UNIX, Windows, and IBM i machines where listeners accept inbound secure connections
  • AT-TLS installed and configured on
    z/OS
    for PowerExchange listeners that accept inbound secure connections
  • PowerExchange Listener configured on z/OS configured on z/OS without SSL
  • X.509 certificates installed on each Linux, UNIX, or Windows machine in OpenSSL PEM format
  • X.509 certificates installed on IBM i and z/OS in GSK format
  • If remote peer certificate validation is performed, then the Certificate Authority that issued the remote certificate must be present as a trusted CA on the local machine
The following figure illustrates the PowerExchange SSL architecture:
You can use SSL communication for some, all, or none of the connections on a PowerExchange network.
For example, you might configure connections as follows:
  • Configure PowerExchange Listeners to use separate ports for SSL and non-SSL connections.
  • Configure the PowerCenter Integration Service client to use SSL connections to PowerExchange Listeners.
  • Configure the PowerExchange Navigator and PowerCenter clients to use non-SSL connections to PowerExchange Listeners.
