Communicating Securely Using SSL
Because Trading Networks runs in Integration Server, it takes advantage of Integration Server features, such as its support of SSL for secure communications. To enable Trading Networks to act as an SSL client connecting to a remote secure server, you specify an SSL client certificate in your Enterprise profile or your partner’s profile.
When using SSL connections that require client-side authentication, Trading Networks looks at the sender’s profile to see whether it contains the specific private key to use to connect to the receiver (the remote secure server).
