Defining the Profile for Your Corporation
To define a profile for your corporation, you use the Trading Networks Console to define a partner profile known as an Enterprise profile. The console provides a Profile Assistant wizard that takes you step-by-step through the process of creating your profile.
Important:
After defining the Enterprise profile, you must enable it in Trading Networks.
The following table lists the minimum information that you must supply in the profile. For complete instructions for creating an Enterprise profile, see the chapter on building your enterprise profile in the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.

Security
Sign/VerifyandDecrypt/Encrypt sub-tabs
Use the Sign/Verify sub-tab to specify certificate information that Trading Networks uses to digitally sign documents that your Enterprise sends to partners. Trading Networks digitally signs a document when the built-in service wm.tn.doc:sign is invoked. For more information on this service, see the webMethods Trading Networks Built-In Services Reference document for your release.
Use the Decrypt/Encrypt sub-tab to specify certificate information that Trading Networks uses to decrypt documents that your Enterprise receives from partners.
Specify information for the following fields on both the Sign/Verify and Decrypt/Encrypt sub-tabs:
*Cetificate Chain - The digital certificate that you want Trading Networks to use to digitally sign or decrypt documents when a partner's profile does not contain a signing or decrypting certificate. Trading Networks displays the value of the CN (Common Name) field from the Subject defined by the certificate.
*Private Key - The private key that is associated with the digital certificate that you specified in the Certificate Chainfield. Trading Networks uses the private key to process Sign and Decrypt certificates.
For more information about these sub-tabs, see the chapter on building your enterprise profile in the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
