Create the Parameter File Manually for the SSL or TLS Protocol

If you communicate with a large group of trading partners, but only a few trading partners use Sterling Connect:Direct® Secure Plus, you can manually create and populate the parameter file by creating a single local node record and a remote node record for each trading partner that uses Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus. This method minimizes the number of remote node records to configure in the parameter file.

For instructions on additional configuration options, see:

• Adding a Remote Node Record for the Sterling External Authentication Server
• Establishing Secure TCP API Connections to a Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus-Enabled Server

To validate and test a Sterling Connect:Direct Secure Plus connection between two business partners, see Validating and Testing Connections by Session.
