Securing the DCN Transport

John needs to set up and test the DCN port. Because the imported private key used for DCN encryption needs to be an X.509 certificate, John uses the Java keytool utility to create a self-signed certificate.

Creating Self-Signed Encryption Certificate
John creates a self-signed certificate with the Java SDK keytool utility before he imports it into the Unwired Platform for DCN encryption.
Setting Up a DCN Security Profile with the Self-Signed Certificate
John uses Sybase Control Center to finalize the DCN security setup by importing the keytool keys and using values defined with that utility.
Enabling the DCN Security Profile
John also uses Sybase Control Center to enable the new DCN security profile.
