Checking in a Trading Partner's Chained Certificate

Body

Once you've saved a trading partner's chained certificate off as shown in the "Working With Chained Certificates" the next step is to check that certificate into IBM Sterling B2B Integrator. From the dashboard, select Trading Partner → Digital Certificates → CA and in the “Check in” section click Go!

Repeat this for the remaining (e.g. the intermediate and leaf/public) certificates in the chain.

Finally check the leaf/public certificate in under Trading Partner → Digital Certificates → Trusted and in the “Check in” section click Go!

For AS2 the final step, is to assign the new certificate to your Trading Partner's profile. If this certificate is being used for SSL communication then - the certificate will be chosen in the corresponding BP's "begin session" (e.g. HTTP Client Begin Session, FTP Client Begin Session, etc.)
