Using SSL to Communicate with the Integration Server
The following configuration needs to be done on your PeopleSoft system. For detailed instructions on how to implement SSL encryption in PeopleSoft, see the PeopleBooks PeopleSoft Integration Broker document.
Before you set up your PeopleSoft system to use SSL to communicate with the Integration Server, you must first configure the Integration Server to enable an HTTPS port. If you need instructions for setting up an HTTPS port, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
To use SSL to communicate with the
Integration Server running on an HTTPS port
1. Copy the CA Certificate used to set up an HTTPS port on the Integration Server to a temporary folder.
2. Copy the pskey file from the application server to the temporary folder. You can find the pskey in one of the following locations:
For WebSphere:
WebSphere_directory\Appserver\installedApps\peoplesoft\keystore
For WebLogic:
WebLogic_directory/config/peoplesoft/keystore
3. Make a backup copy of the pskey file.
4. Use the following command to add your CA Certificate to the key store:
JDK_1.3_Home_directory /bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias YourCompany -file YOUR_CACERT.CER -keystore pskey -storepass password
where YourCompany is the name with which you will identify your CA Certificate, pskey is the file name of the keystore, and password is the password protecting the keystore. Initially its value is "password". If the default password value has changed, you can get it from the integrationgateway.properties file.
5. Restart your WebLogic or WebSphere application server.
6. You can now send your messages to the HTTPS URL that points to your Integration Server. For URL syntax and instructions, see
