Profile Name

Name of the organization profile. Required.

Exchange Certificate

Name of certificate that your organization is using for decryption. Required.

Note: The Configure Certificates link enables you to open a common window displaying all certificates list that you may use. This window is used to select multiple certificates for the purpose of seamless transition from one certificate to the other when its validity expires and to select the policy for this certificate. The default policy is Closest non-future Go Live Date or the only certificate in the list.

Selection policy

This is a default policy which returns the certificate with the closest non-future Go Live Date. Default value is Closest non-future Go Live Date or the only certificate in the list.

Go Live Date

This is the date when the certificate becomes valid and is ready for use by Sterling B2B Integrator. You cannot specify a Go Live Date that precedes the Not Before Date in the digital certificate. Using this parameter results in less system down time for both you and your trading partner when your certificates expire. The default value is the Not Before Date.

Not After Date

This is the date beyond which the certificate is no longer valid. Using this parameter results in less system down time for both you and your trading partner when your certificates expire. You cannot specify a Not After Date that succeeds the termination date in the certificate. The default value is Not After Date.
