The Certificates tab allows you to associate both a trading partner's
signing and encryption certificate(s) with this mailbox, and also override your own Local
Listener's signing and encryption certificates.
- Trading Partner's Certificates
-
- Encryption Certificate
- The certificate to be used for encrypting your trading partner’s messages. Specify
a value explicitly or click Browse to navigate to the
certificate that matches the one you received from your trading partner.
- Signing Certificate
- The certificate to be used for validating incoming messages from your trading
partner. Specify a value explicitly or click Browse to
navigate to the certificate that matches the one you received from your trading
partner.
- By default, the VersaLex application uses all the certificates in its certificate store
to determine if the signature of the incoming data message is trusted. To limit
validation to a specified signing certificate (that is, the incoming data message is
required to be signed with only that certificate), select the Signing Certificate
check box and browse for the certificate to be used for validating message
signatures
- Use encryption certificate
- If your trading partner is using the same certificate for signing and encryption
(which is the general practice among most trading partners), select the Use
encryption certificate check box to automatically populate the
Signing Certificate field with the same certificate
selected in the Encryption Certificate field
- My Certificates
- By default, the certificates you configured on the Certificates tab
of the Local Listener panel are the certificates used to sign
messages sent to your trading partner and decrypt messages received from your trading
partner. See Configuring certificates for Local Listener.
- Override Local Listener Certificates
- Select this check box to enable fields where you can specify alternate
certificates for signing and decrypting messages with this particular trading
partner. If you do override the default the certificates, remember to export and
exchange these alternate certificates with your trading partner.
