Configuring an HTTPS connection to the Sterling B2B Integrator server

You can configure a secure connection to the Sterling B2B Integrator server.

The Design Server establishes a HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection with a Sterling B2B Integrator server, which is the default connection type, using the server and Sterling B2B Integrator Dashboard port number connection properties specified in the options for IBM Transformation Extender maps.

To configure a secure connection with the Sterling B2B Integrator server using HTTPS in the Design Server:

  1. Go to Design Server > Deploy > Servers.
  2. Select the added Sterling B2B Integrator server from the Servers page and click on Edit button to open the Edit server window.
  3. Enter the port number in the Dashboard port field.
    If you configured the Map Test HTTP Server Adapter for a secure connection, use that same port number for the Dashboard port field.
  4. Select the Secure Transport check box.
  5. To specify direct trust, select the Trust all hosts check box.
    At run time when the map run or deploy operations are attempting to establish a connection to a Sterling B2B Integrator server, the following results occur depending on how Trust all hosts is set:
    • If Trust all hosts is selected, the connection verification step that checks the host passes even if the machine host name does not match the host name in the certificate.
    • If Trust all hosts is cleared, the connection verification step that checks the host fails if the machine host name does not match the host name in the certificate.
  6. Click Save to save changes.
