When a response to the Certificate Request message has
been received and the partner has accepted all the new certificates, an email notification
will is sent to the email addresses specified in the Admin Email
Address field on the Other tab in Configure
System Options panel, the status of the partner record is set to
Active and the appropriate statuses of the certificates can be viewed
using the tool tips (by using the cursor to mouse-over the desired certificates). See
Other system options.
The new SSL certificate remains in an "accepted/pending" state until it has been exchanged
with and accepted by all trading partners using HTTP/s.
Note: Your trading partner should respond to the Certificate Request within
the Maximum
Allowed CEM Response Days specified in the
Local Listener Advanced
Panel. See
Specifying Local Listener advanced properties. If this time period is
exceeded without a response, an email notification will be sent to the email address(es)
specified in the
Admin Email Address field on the
Other tab in
Configure System Options panel , and the status will be set to Expired. See
Other system options. Since it is possible that your
trading partner may not be able to respond to your CEM requests, you should contact him to
determine why a timely response has not been received. You may need to resend your CEM request
or distribute your new certificate(s) through another method. Once your trading partner has
verified that he has installed your new certificates, you should then manually switch this
trading relationship to the new certificates using the ‘Set As Active’ command in the
Certificate Exchange dialog.
