  2. Expand the ORB node.
  3. Select IIOP Listeners.
  4. Click New.
  5. Enter a name to identify the listener in the Name field.
  6. Enter the network address of the listener in the Network Address field.
  7. This can be an IP address or a DNS resolvable host name.

  8. In the Listener Port field, enter the port number upon which the listener is to listen.
  9. Check the Enabled box in the Listener field to enable the listener.
  10. In the Additional Properties area, provide values for properties required by your application.

In the Security section of this page, it is possible to configure the listener to use SSL, TLS, or both SSL and TLS security.

To set up a secure listener, do the following:

  1. Check the Enabled box in the Security field.
  2. To force clients to authenticate themselves to the server when using this listener, check the Enabled box in the Client Authentication field.
  3. Enter the name of an existing server keypair and certificate in the Certificate NickName field.
  4. In the SSL3/TLS section:
    1. Check the security protocol(s) to enable on the listener. Check either SSL3 or TLS, or enable both protocols.
    2. Check the cipher suite used by the protocol(s). To enable all cipher suites, check All Supported Cipher Suites. You can also enable individual cipher suites.
  5. Click OK.

The listener is now listed in the Current Listeners table on the IIOP Listeners page.
