Sterling B2B Integrator Features for HSM Support

An entry is stored in the CERTS_AND_PRI_KEY table by Sterling B2B Integrator for each key pair and certificate.

This entry contains information about:
  • Keys and certificates, including the validity period, serial number, usage restrictions, issuer and subject used by the UI to display to the user without having to actually access the key or certificate.
  • Normalizations of the distinguished name used by the system in searches
  • Modifications to the record.
  • Certificate revocation status information.
  • Keystore type.
  • References to a binary keystore object stored in the DATA_TABLE. When a software keystore is used, the referenced object may contain key material. In the case of an HSM, it contains either reference information (nCipher) or a placeholder (Luna).
