Determine the Communications Protocol

Edit online
Secure Proxy supports four protocols. Identify the protocol required for your environment, as defined below:
  • IBM® Connect:Direct®—if you are using Secure Proxy to communicate between two Connect:Direct nodes or between a Connect:Direct node and an IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Connect:Direct server adapter, configure a Connect:Direct proxy adapter.
  • FTP—configure an FTP reverse proxy adapter if you are using Secure Proxy to communicate between an FTP client and Sterling B2B Integrator.
  • HTTP—configure an HTTP reverse proxy adapter if you are using Secure Proxy to communicate between an HTTP client and Sterling B2B Integrator.
  • SFTP—configure an SFTP reverse proxy adapter if you are using Secure Proxy to communicate between an SSH client and Sterling Integrator.

Follow the instructions in Implementation scenarios to configure Secure Proxy for a protocol. If you plan to use more than one protocol, completely test and configure one protocol before adding a configuration for another protocol.
