Setting Up Encryption

By default, Sterling B2B Integrator connects to Sterling Connect:Enterprise® with SIPS encryption turned off.

About this task

For Sterling B2B Integrator to communicate to a Sterling Connect:Enterprise instance that has SIPS encryption turned on:

Procedure

  1. Obtain the sipskeys encryption file from the Sterling Connect:Enterprise instance you are establishing communication with.
  2. Edit the following Sterling B2B Integrator appserver property file, depending on the appserver type:
    Appserver Type Property File
    jboss jboss.properties
    weblogic weblogic.properties
    websphere websphere.properties
    no-app noapp.properties
  3. Look for the following section toward the end of the file and provide the full path to the sipskeys file that you obtained from the Sterling Connect:Enterprise instance:

    Read in CEUImplFactory.java to set ceu.sipskeys system parm to the path of the sipskeys encryption file.

    ceu.sipskeys=/???/sipskeys

    For example, if you place the sipskeys file on the Sterling B2B Integrator server in the /tmp directory, then you would edit your Sterling B2B Integrator property file as follows:

    Read in CEUImplFactory.java to set ceu.sipskeys system parm to the path of the sipskeys encryption file.

    ceu.sipskeys=/tmp/sipskeys

  4. Start Sterling B2B Integrator. The Server Adapter should now be able to connect to Sterling Connect:Enterprise with SIPS encryption. For Microsoft Windows Operating System, the path is in the format: C:\IBM\SI\sipskeys.

    For Microsoft Windows Operating System, the path is in the format: C:\IBM\SI\sipskeys
