Sending documents to be sent over Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
This section describes how to prepare documents to be
sent over Secure Socket Layer (SSL) when sending them between two
instances of WebSphere Partner Gateway - Express. The following
topics are included:
Sending documents over SSL from Express1 to Express2
Sending documents over SSL from Express2 to Express1
Sending documents over SSL from Express1 to Express2
The following steps describe how to prepare documents
to be sent over SSL from Express1 to Express2.
- In Express2, enable HTTPS. To do this, follow the instructions
in Enabling HTTPS. When filling out
the Domain and Port fields, use "Express2" as the domain and "5443"
as the port number.
- In Express2, generate a self-signed SSL client certificate keypair.
To do this, follow the instructions in Generating
a self-signed SSL client certificate keypair.
- In Express2, download the newly created client certificate,
and rename it to "Express2PublicSSL.der." To do this, follow the
instructions in Downloading the client
certificate for client authentication.
- In Express1, upload the public certificate named "Express2PublicSSL.der."
To do this, follow the instructions in Adding new certificates.
- In Express1, configure the outbound destination address, using
the domain and port number that were used to enable HTTPS in Express2.
The following steps describe how to do this.
- Click the Configuration menu, then click AS2.
The Manage AS2 page appears.
- In the Selected Participant field, select Express2, then click Edit.
- In the Outbound Destination field, enter "https://Express2:5443/input/AS2."
- Refresh the views for both Express1 and Express2.
