Add SSL/TLS Support for an FTP Connection

Edit online

About this task

This scenario builds on the Basic FTP Configuration by enabling security for the inbound and outbound nodes you defined in the netmap. Following is a diagram to illustrate the addition of an SSL or TLS protocol to the inbound and outbound node connections.


The addition of an SSL or TLS protocol to the inbound and outbound node connections

To add SSL/TLS support to the netmap for the inbound and outbound nodes, select the following options for the connections:

  • Protocol
  • Cipher suites
  • Stores and certificates

To effectively configure and test this scenario:

Procedure

  1. Add SSL/TLS support to the inbound node definition first and establish a session initiated by an FTP client to an Sterling B2B Integrator server.
  2. Add SSL/TLS support to the outbound node definition and establish a session initiated by an FTP client to an Sterling B2B Integrator server.
    Note: Before you configure SSL or TLS support, you must check in your certificates. Refer to Manage Certificates for SSL/TLS Transactions with Trading Partners.
