Use Secure Point of Entry

Edit online

Secure Point of Entry (SPOE) is a security mechanism for maintaining the privacy of sensitive user account information. Privacy is maintained by associating a pseudo-account with an authentic one. Remote Sterling Connect:Direct® trading partners establish sessions using pseudo-accounts rather than authentic ones. In this way, sensitive user account information remains private. The cdinterop-spoe-policy.properties file describes settings for configuring the Secure Point-of-Entry (SPOE) for use with the Connect:Direct Server Adapter for inbound requests from remote Sterling Connect:Direct PNODEs.

Sterling B2B Integrator also supports Sterling Connect:Direct User Proxies as a PNODE whereby the business process can:

  • Specify a RemoteUserId without a RemotePasswd.
  • Not specify a RemoteUserId or a RemotePasswd. The Connect:Direct Server Adapter will use the PNodeId (the user executing the business process).
  • Specify a LocalUserId without a RemoteUserId or a RemotePasswd.
