Before configuring DCM, fulfill the following prerequisites:
-
IBM i 7.1 or later
-
Digital Certificate Manager 5770-SS1 Option 34
-
IBM TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i (Base TCP/IP support) 5770-TC1
-
IBM HTTP Server for i (for access to Digital Certificate Manager) 5770-DG1.
-
*ADMIN HTTP server started using STRTCPSVR SERVER (*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)
-
A profile with *SECADM and *ALLOBJ authority to access DCM
- Make sure Use encrypted communications option is selected to enforce authenticated and encrypted communications. For more information, see step 23 in Run the install wizard.
- SSL ports for any IBMi services used by Connect CDC. For more information, refer to Identify IBMi host servers and associated programs.Note: Connect CDC mainly uses:
- as-database-s = Connection to DB2 for i database SQL and database actions; port 9471.
- as-signon-s = Validate connection credentials; port 9476.
- as-rmtcmd-s = Execute OS400 commands (CLi); port 9475.
When using encrypted JDBC connections to IBM i systems, ensure that all required IBM i host servers are started and that the corresponding network ports are open and accessible between the Connect CDC components.
The following table lists the standard IBM i host server ports used by Connect CDC, including the associated SSL ports for secure communication. Additional secure ports may be required depending on the JDBC driver and Connect CDC build in use.
