Certificate Manager

If you want to to use certificates (for example for connecting to LDAP using SSL), you will be given a certificate to authenticate against your source. 

In order to have Integrator use it, 

  • Go to the Tools menu, select Certificate Manager...
  • Select jssecacerts as the standard keystore.  If you use something else, you will have to set the the java property javax.net.ssl.trustStore to the directory you use.
  • Import the certificate by using pressing the Import button (if Integrator doesn't read it, make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file containing the certificate)
  • Give it a name
  • Save your configuration file

Notes

  • Not all Connectors/EventHandler support certificates, refer to the individual Connector/EventHandler documentation for more information.
  • Certain applications demand higher cipher strength (128 bits RC4 encryption instead of 40 bits for example) than the libraries included with Integrator 4.6.  Chech the FAQ for information on how to obtain higher cipher strength.

Using Trusted Third Party certificates

An alternative to having certificates in form of files, is to have them delivered at run-time by a Trusted Third Party (such as VeriSign).  

In the Java world, it is the task of the standard system extension JSSE to handle the abstraction layer between the program (Integrator) and the certificate manager.  Your Trusted Third Party will provide you with information on how to configure your Java environment correctly
