Implementing Secure Socket Factories
Secure socket factories allow Info*Engine components to establish secure connections between each other by using the functionality supplied by the Java Secure Sockets Extension (JSSE) of the Java 2 platform. JSSE provides a rich set of APIs that implement various security protocols and encryption algorithms including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Because JSSE is subject to U.S. export restrictions, to use secure socket factories with Windchill you must download or otherwise obtain JSSE from JavaSoft and install it yourself.

Additionally, to use secure sockets, the web server you use with Windchill must support the use of secure sockets.
