Certificates in Partner Profile XML

Edit online

You can select Certificates and Private Keys from lists in the system in the Sterling B2B Integrator user interface.

If you are setting up a Partner Profile XML manually, you must reference the certificates listed in the following table:

Location

Certificate Name

PhysicalPartner

AuthenticationCertificate

PhysicalPartner/TCP-IP

SSLCertificate

LogicalPartner

FileServiceCertificate
Each certificate can be a:
  • CA Certificate - can be used more than once in one location
  • Trusted Certificate - can be used more than once in one location
  • System Certificate (PrivateKey) - can be used only once in one location

For more information on using certificates, see Digital Certificates. To view a sample template of a manual Partner Profile, see Manual Partner Profile Sample.

The following is an example of specifying a system certificate:

<Certificate name> type="PrivateKey" 
  Subject <Distinguished Name String>    (required) 
  Issuer <Distinguished Name String>    (required) 
  Serial <BigNumber String>   (optional)
Note: The components within one distinguished name have to be separated by a comma, optionally following a blank.

The following is a code sample of a system certificate:

<AuthenticationCertificate type="PrivateKey"> 
    <Subject>CN=SOAServicesTestCertificate, O=SOAServicesTestIdentity1,
         C=US</Subject> 
    <Issuer> CN=SOAServicesTestCertificate, O=SOAServicesTestIdentity2,
       C=US</Issuer> 
    <Serial>01234567890987654321</Serial>
</AuthenticationCertificate>

The following is an example of specifying a CA or a Trusted certificate: 

{ <Certificate name> type="CA or Trusted" 
   Subject <Distinguished Name String>    (required) 
   Issuer  <Distinguished Name String>    (required) 
   Serial<BigNumber String> (optional)}+  (the whole structure can repeat)
Note: The components within one distinguished name have to be separated by a comma, optionally following a blank.

The following is a code sample of a CA or Trusted certificate: 

<SSLCertificate type="Trusted"> 
    <Subject>CN=OFTP_TLS_A1, OU=RL, O=STERLING, L=DUESSELDORF, 
        ST=NRW, C=DE</Subject> 
     <Issuer>C=GE, O=Sterling, OU=RL, CN=RLCA</Issuer> 
</SSLCertificate>
