Configure Secure Connection to SEAS

In this scenario, Secure Proxy has the private key in the system certificate store and the CA root certificate in the trusted certificate store. The trading partner has a private key and the CA root certificate. The target server has a private key and the CA root certificate. Sterling External Authentication Server has a private key in its own key certificate store and the CA root certificate. Use the following procedure to implement this model.

This example shows the Sterling External Authentication Server implementation with a single certificate. You can also use a multiple Secure Proxy certificates model.

Use the following procedure to implement this model:

Procedure

  1. Acquire the root certificate from the common CA.
  2. Import the CA root certificate into the default Trusted Certificate Store. Refer to Import a Public Certificate into a Trusted Certificate Store.
  3. Import the Secure Proxy private key into the default System Certificate Store. Refer to Import Private Keys into a System Certificate Store.
  4. Configure certificates for use by Sterling External Authentication Server. Refer to the Sterling External Authentication Server documentation library for instructions.
