IBM i SSL communication

If Webup is configured to use an IBM i (AS/400) backend through AS400 Proxy, it will try to use SSL communication by default.

IBM i instances have three degrees of support for SSL:

  1. SSL is supported, with a valid certificate: no action required
  2. SSL is not supported: set as400proxy.cfg.sslConnection: "false" inside AHD Webup's configuration
  3. SSL is supported, but with a self-signed certificate:
  • set as400proxy.cfg.sslSelfSignedAllowed: "true"
  • add an element to the array as400proxy.cfg.certs, like in the following example:
as400proxy:
  cfg:
    sslSelfSignedAllowed: "true"
    certs:
      - name: my-custom-certificate
        b64: <base64-encoded-certificate>
