HTTPS Configuration for the GPM

Secure HTTP access via SSL is already supported for most web applications in Sterling B2B Integrator on the base HTTP port + 1.

This SSL enhancement:

  • Enables HTTPS (HTTP w/ SSL encryption) for the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM)
  • Enables disabling and redirection of web applications on the base HTTP port to another port (using HTTPS)
  • Supports secure access to web applications by deploying the web applications on a secure HTTP Server Adapter instance
  • Reduces security risks

If you use this feature, you will need to configure the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM) to communicate with the dashboard web application using HTTPS instead of HTTP. Access to web applications deployed via a secure HTTP Server Adapter may be slower than when accessed on the base port.

Note: In V5.2.6 and higher, the default security protocol is TLS 1.2 (for base HTTP port + 1.). If needed, you can change this to TLS 1.3, TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.0 by updating the jsseProtocol parameter in the noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext and noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext.in files. It is recommended that you update both these files at the same time or update the customer_overrides.properties file to add overrides.
Valid values include the following parameters:
  • TLS1-TLS1.1 for TLS1.0 and TLS1.1
  • TLS1-TLS1.2 for TLS1.0, TLS1.1 and TLS1.2
  • TLS1-TLS1.3 for TLS 1.0, TLS1.1, TLS1.2 and TLS1.3
  • TLS1.1-TLS1.2 for TLS1.1 and TLS1.2
  • TLS1.1-TLS1.3 for TLS1.1, TLS1.2 and TLS1.3
  • TLS1.2-TLS1.3 for TLS1.2 and TLS1.3
  • TLS1 for TLS1.0 only
  • TLS1.1 for TLS1.1 only
  • TLS1.2 for TLS1.2 only
  • TLS1.3 for TLS1.3 only
