Configuring Shared Secret Validation
Ariba Supplier OnRamp allows suppliers to specify a shared secret based on the identity and stores the shared secret in the database. For each cXML document, the wm.b2b.cxml:receiveCXML service checks for the authenticity of the document by verifying the shared secret specified in the Sender Credentials of the document. The Test Module of Ariba Supplier OnRamp provides fields where the shared secret can be specified for a specific cXML message to be tested.
*You can configure multiple shared secrets based on different identities.
*The previously configured shared secret is mapped to the Shared Secret for the DEFAULT identity.
*The Shared Secret that is configured for the DEFAULT identity is applicable to all the identities unless specified explicitly.
*The DEFAULT identity cannot be removed.
*To configure shared secret validation
