Is a certificate required for SSL on IBM i (was: Re: Can HTTPAPI send a CSV and recieve a response?)

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HTTPAPI uses the SSL support built in to the operating system.   As I 
understand it, back in some very old releases (V4R5, maybe? Nothing 
recent.)  There was a problem where you had to install a client 
certificate to use SSL.  But, IBM fixed that ages ago... so unless 
you're really out-of-date, that shouldn't be needed.

You do need to have the digital certificate manager installed, and the 
*SYSTEM certificate store must be created in the digital certificate 
manager.  But, you don't need to install any additional certificates 
(unless the server requires a client-side certificate -- but that's rare.)
