Digital certificates

The CIS software and the InForm Adapter software use a X.509 digital certificate to secure messages between the web services in your product environment.

Note: Digital certificates must be issued by a recognized Certificate Authority. Oracle does not accept customer-created certificates.

Before you install the CIS software, obtain a X.509 digital certificate from a third-party vendor and install it. You must specify the name of the certificate during the CIS installation. You can change the X.509 digital certificate after you install the CIS software.

Oracle recommends the use of single-certificate security which allows you to use the customer X.509 certificate on both the CIS and InForm Adapter servers.

The private key stays on the CIS server.
The public key of this certificate goes to the InForm Adapter server.
