Defining Application Assets in CentraSite
An application asset specifies the precise identifiers by which messages from a particular consumer application will be recognized at run time. An application asset has the following attributes for specifying these identifiers:
IPv4 Address, which specifies one or more 4-byte IPv4 addresses that identify requests from a particular consumer application. (This attribute is queried when the Identify Consumer action is configured to identify consumer applications by IP address.)
Example: 192.168.0.10
IPv6 Address, which specifies one or more 128-bit IPv6 addresses that identify requests from a particular consumer application. See the IPv6 addressing architecture specification for details of this format.
Example: 1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0
Identification Token, which specifies the host names, user names or other distinguishing strings that identify requests from a particular consumer application. (This attribute is queried when the Identify Consumer action is configured to identify consumer applications by host name, HTTP user name, WSS user name or a custom token.)
Consumer Certificate, which specifies the X.509 certificates that identify requests from a particular consumer. (This attribute is queried when the Identify Consumer action is configured to identify consumer applications by a consumer certificate.)
For example, the following application asset describes a consumer application called SalesAnalyzer, which is defined by a range of IP addresses:
