Determine Requirements for Connection to Outbound Node

Identify requirements for connection to the Sterling B2B Integrator Server or Connect:Direct® Node secure outbound node. Possible requirements include:

• Not requiring that the user ID and password be authenticated in Secure Proxy. The user ID and password provided by the trading partner is passed to the Sterling B2B Integrator or Connect:Direct server for authentication.
• Connecting to the Sterling B2B Integrator or Connect:Direct server (outbound node) using a user ID and password stored in the Secure Proxy netmap configuration.
• Connecting to the Sterling B2B Integrator or Connect:Direct server (outbound node) using information accessed from Sterling External Authentication Server. The Sterling External Authentication Server server determines whether an alternate user ID and password mapped to the trading partner (client) user ID should be used to connect to the outbound Sterling B2B Integrator or Connect:Direct server.
