What You Defined with the Basic FTP Configuration Scenario

Creating secure connections to Sterling B2B Integrator servers on behalf of nodes external to your trusted zone requires that you organize information about the trading partners and the Sterling B2B Integrator server in a policy, a netmap, and an adapter definition. You created these items when you defined the Basic FTP Configuration. The next step is testing the configuration prior to configuring additional security features. Before you test the configuration, be sure that:
  • The Sterling B2B Integrator server has an active FTP server adapter configured to listen for the port specified in the outbound node definition.
  • The user ID and password provided by the inbound node is defined at the Sterling B2B Integrator server.

Refer to Test the Inbound and Outbound FTP Connections for information about testing the FTP Reverse Proxy configurations outlined in this scenario.

As you add complexity to your security configurations using the procedures in the remaining scenarios, you modify the basic configuration to configure more complex authentication and certificate validation measures.
