Securing AS400 / iSeries (Comodo Free SSL)

Enabling SSL certificates with Comodo’s Free 90 Day trial SSL Certificate. This process enables you to secure both web services, login, and SSL across all other servers/services on the AS400 / iSeries.

Note: If you are replacing/renewing your cert and something goes wrong, do not be afraid to delete your certificate store (if this is your only cert) and start fresh with this tutorial. I’ve done it twice, now, as the key in store had trouble matching the new cert, etc… I deleted certificate store, followed my own tutorial and was up and going in minutes.

PayTrace Client Side Encryption (PHP / IIS)

This is a quick for-developers-only guide of how to get your PHP/JS code (Windows) talking to PayTrace’s API. I chose the Client Side Encryption as being our first time out, I wanted the least amount of strictness in PCI compliance. This guide assumes you know PHP, JS, JQuery, a little of what an API does, enough to paste some JSON together and of course your HTML, CSS, etc. You’re a developer, you have all the code provided open source, but this is a quick A-B-C of what code I used and how I got it working on Windows (IIS7) and hurdles I ran into.

All code here is readily available on GitHub, but if you’d like my version of it, download it on my Gist.
