Managing Digital Certificates in the Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition

Edit online

The Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition uses digital certificates to securely transport documents between system components. Before you add your trading partners' information to the Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition, you must obtain and check in any digital certificates.

To help you manage your digital certificates, Sterling B2B Integrator includes the Certificate Wizard, a standalone tool that enables you to generate:
  • Private and public keys protected with a passphrase
  • A certificate signing request (CSR) to send to a trusted certificate authority (CA)

After the CA authorizes the CSR and issues a digitally-signed certificate, you can then use the Certificate Wizard to generate and validate a key certificate that you check in to Sterling B2B Integrator.

Note: To manage digital certificates in Sterling B2B Integrator (that is, if you are not using the Sterling B2B Integrator AS2 Edition), see Sterling B2B Integrator documentation for Digital Certificates.

As an AS2 user, you need to check in the following certificates into Sterling B2B Integrator:

  • CA certificates
  • Trusted certificates
  • Self-signed certificates
