Hi Dumindu, Thanks for your quick reply. So then I have a few more question regarding this:
(1) I looked at the manuals you refered to, it seems to me that I will need to re-compile the AXIS2/c to enable ssl. My question is this, is the downloaded binary from AXIS2/c side SSL enabled? (2) Now suppose I have an AXIS2/c based client, and an AXIS-j (v1.4) + TOMCAT based server component, will the HTTPS continue to work if I set up key chain file for the client and set up keystore file for the AXIS-J/TOMCAT based server? Did anyone ever test this senario? and how to test?

Is this passPhrase a > must have in order to support HTTPS? I'm not sure why a passphrase is not used in AXIS-J, but here it is used in order to protect the private key. You can choose to encrypt your private key when you create one. Thus, if your private key is not encrypted with a passphrase you do not have to provide this. > I am also wondering if there is a service APIs to set the keyChain file (or > file path) in the call object, or something like the above example in java > (set System property)? I'm afraid it is not as simple in AXIS2/C though it is not too complicated either :). Please refer to AXIS2/C manual [1]. Regards, Dumindu.
