Chapter 16: Tutorial: Using SSL

Assign a security profile to a listener

A listener identifies EAServer ports that accepts connection requests from clients using the following protocols:

When you define a listener, you choose a port number, the protocol, and, for secure protocols IIOPS and HTTPS, assign a security profile.

Assigning the test_profile security profile to a listener

Double-click the EAServer Manager icon.
Double-click the Servers folder.
Double-click the Jaguar icon.
Click the Listeners folder.
Select File | New Listener.
Enter https3 for the listener name and click Create New Listener.
When you see the Listener info window, supply the following:
- Protocol Select HTTPS from the drop-down list. You will use HTTPS as the protocol to retrieve the HTML page that contains the sample applet.
- Host Enter the name of the EAServer host.
- Port Enter the port number on the host machine for this listener. If not in use by any other service, enter 8083.
- Jaguar Security Profile Select the user_test security profile from the drop-down list.
Click Save.
Restart EAServer:
1. Highlight the server to which this listener belongs.
2. Select File | Restart.

You now have a listener that accepts HTTPS connection requests at port 8083 (https://hostname:8083) and requires client and server authentication.
