About this task

To prepare the SSL certificates for use with the Sterling B2B Integrator, complete the following:

Procedure

  1. Create a self-signed certificate on the Sterling B2B Integrator for the System certificate, including the following:
    • Select Set Certificate Signing Bit.
    • The name of this certificate must be the name of your server/domain so that Open SSL can properly validate the certificate.
      Note: Alternatively, you can generate a certificate signing request using the Certificate Wizard, and ask a CA to sign your certificate. If you choose this option, include the following:
      • Ensure your common name for the certificate matches the correct server name/domain name.
      • Check in the key and the certificate (after the certificate is signed and returned by CA) to System Certificate.
  2. When you create and check in the certificate, note the certificate name. This name will be used when you configure the SWIFTNet HTTP Server adapter (step 4 below).
  3. Export the public key of the certificate you generated above. This public key will be used by the SWIFTNet Server (that you created in Prepare the SSL Certificates for the SWIFTNet Server) as CA certificate file (trusted list).
  4. Configure the SWIFTNet HTTP Server adapter to use SSL and choose the System certificate you generated in step 1 of this procedure.
    Note: Note the port number of the SWIFTNet HTTP Server adapter because this number must match the port you configure for the SWIFTNet Server Adapter or SWIFTNet7 Adapter (below).
